Miners wearing ragged clothes and armed with a rusty pickaxe think it'll be a smart idea to charge a dragon.
“Fine day” said the young man.

“Gods!” hollered Zaki, sending the young man flying with a well-placed punch, and dashing away.

My horse can climb 90 degree angles
My horse flew off the bridge at Valtheim towers. First, Allie gets this brilliant idea to run up the bridge to fight with me (Yes, like Jesse Cox's Allie did), but then she somehow started floating on air. I guess, like all cartoons do, she looked down, and fell. after that I fell off the bridge trying to watch her. -_- Attempt 2 ended up with Allie trying to enter the door at the beginning. If you think Lydia is annoying, try a horse who is in constant run but clearly won't fit through a doorway.

What bothers me the most is that if you married an Npc, they're mostly useless. it's just a follower who generates cash. Why can't they do something cool, like at least use another building, that way I can visit the shop and loot my heart out, just because I can? Oh, and the homecooked meals are basically pie. PIE. I have nothing against pie but... it's just apple pie.

The other pet peeve I have is NPCs interrupting me with their life stories as they walk by. Hello, A+B convo here. I didn't ASK you if you work for Belethor. Yes, I'm your thane, stop honoring me. Shut up, I'm a stormcloak and I killed loads of imperials. :D Oh yes, I did.

Good for pickpocketing and looting houses! :mrgreen:

With a level 100 sneak, you can walk around in plain daylight, right in front of someone, and be hidden.

Foxes.... their point? I had one attack me viciously in the Reach. Shocked me, since they are usually neutral.
maybe you got at them with some shout?
I see foxes as my friendly travel-companions, they use to run at your side for a while,... and when you're at a crossing they often lead the way.

My silly compaint? Lit candles in ancient Draugr-places ... :roll:

Dragon skeletons looking like they have a seizure. Terrifies me at night to the point of a mini-heart attack.

No usable Giant clubs.

The Bunnies slaughtered counter haunting me.

Days as a werewolf counter not stopping after curing Lycanthropy.

I'm done with the "silly" complaints but there are a few serious ones which don't belong here.

That is what's missing from Skyrim! Finally remembered the awesome roleplaying days of going to sleep in roadside inns after a hard day of hunting and looting. That brings back memories...

And almost every inn had a backstory. the drunken dragon... Loved when I got called a pal for some reason. Well, that was after spending a day in Mania talking to golden saints so it felt awesome...

You're the guy with thousands of gold coins in your pockets. Of course people will claim you as their drinking buddy.

Skyrim master difficulty mod: When people notice you are carrying large amounts of money, they will proclaim you their "Drinking buddy" and try to chase after you and take your money. Gold also will have a respective weight of 1, so good luck running away.

Agreed. Sometimes a haircut doesn't work out the way you want.

You'd think all that warpaint would flake off every now and then. And if you've decided to be a Stormcloak, wouldn't your warpaint be a different color than the Imperials? I think it'd be neat to have it change if you're a vampire, or depending on what faction you join.

Edit: I -haaate- walking around and being approached by a guard only to hear him say "I find your wolfish grin unsettling." or "Is that fur, in your ears?"

I haven't been a werewolf in a long time and I've long-since been cured. I find myself an attractive breton, so therefore no, I keep my ear hairs plucked thank you! :x

Another complaint: The guards don't give you directions.

A more serious complaint: Wes Johnson wasn't featured a lot. No "Stop there, criminal scum!" just some weird accented guys saying stupid things. Beth boasted about 70+ actors but they still only have 1 voicing guards and typical nords. Wes Johnson was great as an imperial.

Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of actors and almost all unique characters sound different. Clavicus Vile sounded awesome, so did Sheogorath and Hermaeus Mora but the "generic" nords sounded far too similar.
