Blame it on the Skooma...

This thread is for the community to share some of their epicly silly, stupid, weird, or random experiences while playing an Elder Scrolls game. I'm tired of all the serious threads, so no faction or FPV convos here. Let's keep it humurous, light hearted, and interesting.

For instance:

I once spent almost an hour trying to paralyze a bear so I could watch it roll down a mountain side... Died over a dozen times. Still didn't do it.

Blame it on the Skooma.

This story is sort of related to random experiences and skooma:

So in Skyrim you occasionally come across Skooma Dealers in random places when you don't expect it. They'll offer it to you out of the blue in their shady skooma dealing manner.

First time I came across one, I looked at his offer and commented on the legality of it. He pulled out a knife and attacked me.

Second time I came across one, I simply said "No thanks" and he respected my decision in a very polite and understanding manner.

So far this sounds pretty boring and typically what every Skyrim player can experience.

But! I was in this random club down in Cancun and had to go to the restroom. There, I found a shady guy who offered me cocaine to take off the edge. Remembering my enlightening adventures in Skyrim with shifty drug dealers, I simply told him "No gracias" and was able to leave that restroom without being shanked.

Thanks Skyrim Skooma Dealer for teaching me life lessons!

That's....pretty dang awesome. Who would have guessed a Skooma dealer could potentialy save your life?!

This is why you never give your horse Skooma. No matter how funny you think it will be..

Once I spawned in 900 skooma, and drank it all.
Needless to say, my Stamina took a few days to be able to regen.
But that story, @Horizon Seeker , sounds pretty dang awesome.
I usually just sell my stuff to the skooma dealers, then kill them unarmed. It be fun.

I once went into the lovely town of Riverwood where, as many people did FUS RO DAH'd a chicken into happy oblivion. Naturally, the local town's people were upset and started to attack me. Luckily my helpful Necromancer of a follower, resurrected said chicken to help me kill of the local populace. Then a dragon took that opportune moment to attack. So, in a summary, I took on a village guard and a dragon, with a zombie chicken.

I wish they would have had zombie chickens in Fable. Would have made kicking them a lot more interesting..

Thanks for sharing. The more I picture it, the bigger the grin gets on my face.

well this glitch became rather annoying I was just attacking whiterun killing all the guards u know just minding my own business.

When I hit a courier he pulled out and iron dagger and 2hit me at first I thought it was just an arrow fired by the guards but when I went back I hit the courier again he once again pulled an iron dagger and two hit me.

The third time I went back I hit him then led him up to dragonsreach and fus ro dahed him off the walk way he died on in pact and I checked his dagger. And I know u won't believe this but it had a enchantment giving it a 50% chance to instantly kill.

WHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAT?
That is so fake :|

Some posts from some other people I've met on the elder scroll forums.

"Ok so I was in Whiterun and found that woman who wants a mammoth tusk so she can learn to be a merchant. Although I knew where I could get a tusk without killing said mammoth I though "No, I'm a freaking Orc barbarian I should kill me a mammoth". So I wandered around and finally found a mammoth, I'm about to attack when I think about saving... so i rested 1 hour...when done resting the mammoth just for no reason shoots up into the air and falls back down dead only like 30 feet from me, needles to say I got my tusk,

Mammoth must have had to much Skooma."

"This actually happened pretty recently, I was in the Reach, messing around outside of Markarth, had just downed my eleventy-billionth dragon, when a woman comes up to me yelling about how she just escaped from some bandits. I tell her I'd be happy to help and just as she's in the middle of thanking this sabre-cat comes out of NOWHERE and swipes her across the face, sending her FLYING! She is, of course, instantly dead and I am laughing so hard I can't see and the sabre-cat manages to kill me too as I'm trying to wipe my eyes!

I'm not sure you can blame it on the Skooma, but, it was pretty hilarious nonetheless."

I have had a few random experiences such as Hunter's walking around whilst spinning around 360 degrees, thats a glitch though. One time when my character was slaying a Blood dragon upon a snowy mountain side my horse just climbed on its back as if it wanted to fly, unfortunately it fell to its death. Another amazing moment when I was messing around using Ice Form and frozen Ulfric Stormcloak to his throne and dubbed him "King Ice-Pants". Sometimes when you paralyze guards with two-handed weapons draw and kill them before the effect worn off their arms and wrists are litterly twisted around like the rigamortis set in too quickly.
