Bear on a Spike

Just been bumbling around in sandstone cave hoping to pick up some void salts. Walked around a corner straight into a bear, luckily had my enchanted bow drawn, with enchanted arrows and poison and smacked him right between the eyes. The bear went flying backwards and appeared to hover limply about 4 foot off the ground - odd glitch I thought. When I got up close I saw that the bear was in fact impaled on a staligmite (coming up from the floor) the tip of which was just protruding from his back - wish you could do screen grabs on the 360. Funniest thing I've seen to far.

Yeah, the other day I whacked a goblin, and because of where he was standing I guess he couldn't fall down all the way. So he thrashed and flopped around for 3-4 seconds until he could get level (program glitch?). I'd never seen that before, and it made me jump. I laughed my a$$ off!!!

I wish the programmers would put more of this kind of thing into the game. Makes it more real. In real life, when you clobber something, it doesn't always just fall over, motionless.

i think i know what your talking about,
Took out a shaman by a mine door, physics went pyscho and he kept slamming off the sides of the walls, scared the crap out of me, i ended up just running off squealing. XD

Lol, I've had that happen before. I recall running at a Goblin and whacking him with a club full force. Killed him in one shot, nothing unusual but he was in front of a cave wall and bounced off of it and ricocheted off the opposite wall. I ducked at the time in case he smacked into me. Ended up hanging from the ceiling because his hand got caught. XD

A classic one for me was when i was smashing a bandit up with my big axe, she died from my reflect damage so just kinda slumped on the floor but she fell to her knees first and landed with her back arched and her head to the floor...ended up looking like she was bent down praying to the floor! very funny indeed :P

Here's a good one that happened last night.

I was sneaking uphill with no equipment on and encountered a deer. I thought, "I could use some Feather potions", so I crept right up to it and punched it right in the butt !!! :shock:

It made a grunt, flopped up into the air, and landed on its back-- on me!!! So there I am, standing in my undies, with a dead deer flopped over my back! :lol: Took me a moment to realize it was dead, so there I am, running around trying to punch at it and it didn't fall off right away.

I still get a kick, thinking about it!

In the mages guild quest where you're to get the wood for your staff, i saw i a deer right outside the cave. I thought that i might aswell shoot it dead for the sake of a tad o' food, and blasted it with that free fireball. It flew in a back roll in-air (like above), landed on it's feet and stood for a few seconds, before it fell to the ground, quite dead. It was really fun to see :D

Then in a olater quest, that where you are send to the ruins by the mages guild, i also met some necromancers (Migth have been another cave, not 100%sure), and i blasted the necromancer in the abdomen with the lowest fireball, the one you get free. the Necromancer flew back into the ruins grey-white stone walls, bounced back off and got hit by anotherof my fireballs, and twiirled around before landing on the ground.It looked wicked :P

I've also tried to keep a arena opponent, killed without flying away, stil in a kind of standing position, while attacking him hand-to-hand from below ^^

That is one of the coolest things i've tried as of late :P

I was doing a quest for the Fighter's Giuld and i was with the hunter (We were going to hunt the mountain lions that were killing the rats) and when he got up, he ran into the door that was shut! He walked into the door for a few seconds before evaluating his current perdictament and opened it.

Then another time, i killed Adoring Fan near a beach where some fisherman guy was near us and apparently saw the whole thing. He walks to Adoring Fan and kneels down and goes: "May you rest in peace" and gets up, as if it never happened.

Oh, my last one: In Skingrad, it was ranining and some Dark Elf was SINGING, yes, SINGING in the rain. He was going: "Flyyyyyinn...Flyyyinnn...Cliff racer's flyyyyiinnn sooo hiiiighh..."

I ran into some orc in Bravil, and when I asked him for roumors, he started singing at me, with a voice only a mother can love :D

And yes, adoring fan respawns.

I really don't know. After a while I got tired of him, and just dropped him somewhere. So I don't care either.

Here's a funny thing....One time, i was in Anvil inside the Count's Arms. I stood behind the merchant and fired an arrow at a Dark Elf. She charged at me, but luckly, i got out of the way. Then i saw the most strangest thing ever...Both the merchant and the Dark Elf were fighting it out behind the counter! After a small tussle, the guard comes in and sides with the Dark Elf. The merchant flees out of the biulding and we pursue him.

Now outside, he gets met with two more guards who comes after him. Now surrounded by the Dark Elf, three Bruma guards, and me, he decides his only chance of saftey is to leave Bruma, so he breaks it towards the gate.

Within a scant 20 feet away from the gate, he falls dead, killed by a Bruma Guard. I loot his body and get away with it scott free. But i felt sorry for him, because a series of misfortunate events wounded up with him versus a mad Dark Elf, three Bruma guards, and the person who started this whole thing from the very beginning.
