What are some silly or odd things you have learned in Skyrim? Here are a few of mine.


It can snow lots, without a trace of accumulation!

It is possible to walk (jog, or even sprint) fully on snow and ice, and never fall flat on your ass!

Why risk your life when chopping wood can earn hundreds in one day!? hehe.gif

Skooma sucks (literally) in Skyrim. Nobody knows how to brew it like they did in 3rd-era Cyrodiil. kvleft.gif

Alcohol causes drunken effects for 30 seconds at a time! indifferent.gif

*On a rare cloudless day* Ahh! What IS that giant white ball in the sky? panic.gif

Food often has restorative properties. Who needs a hospital bed when a bowl of vege soup will do just fine?

The art of spell creation has been lost in just 200 years, while the technology to make crossbows has finally been re-attained. huh.gif

Guards often speak in funny accents! laugh.gif "Wait! I knuh yoo!"

Lots of folks apparently have their sweetrolls stolen.

Cat-people make the best travelling sages.

ha ha yeah, that is true.

Actually, getting hit with an arrow can sometimes be a good thing, if the PC is an archer!

Colonel Mustard
When the stars are right, immense reptiles that must weigh in excess of ten tons are able to fly backwards.

Since they were cross-bred with spiders, horses are entirely able to walk up vertical surfaces without trouble, but will refuse to enter cities due to fear of being swatted by fearful homeowners.

That makes me think of this. laugh.gif
Lady Saga
hehe.gif Yeah, eat those cheese wheels! And that's true about horses and their abilities for sure. Actually....I have learned that..

Horses can swim great distances.

Nobody ever attacks carriages. wink.gif

Looking into somebody's pocket is not a crime.

Every time he passes by me and says that, I want to knock his teeth out. WE GET IT, GEEZ!

No one can drown in Skyrim, except for player characters.

Merchant's chests magically refill with gold every night.

Merchants keep said chests buried underground, yet have no trouble putting money and items into them or taking them out.

We have shovels, but we cannot dig.
Lady Saga
Ha ha I like the shovel one! We can dig things up with pickaxes, but shovels? Get out!

Here's a few more:

Olfrid (patron of the great clan Battle-Born) is a name I'm sure you know well!

Crickets, cicaedas, lightning bugs, and other warm-weather insects can survive (apparently) in Skyrim's brutal cold.

Attracting the opposite sex is as easy as wearing a cheap amulet around one's neck.

You can swing a sword or shoot a bow from horseback, but you have to dismount to cast a spell.

Shouting affects the weather!

You can carry an unlimited amount... as long as you�re willing to walk.

Turn Undead and paralyze are not Illusion spells.

Because it�s so taxing, vampires can only be charming once a day.

Werewolves aren�t affected by the full moon(s), and they can�t see in first person.

and, my favorite:

I don't know why, but there's something about that statement that I can't help but find immensely existential.

Your wounds will slowly knit themselves back together given time, but if you transform into an unstoppable, Hircine-fueled killing machine, then that's completely out the window.

They are, actually. It doens't show in the game, but their stats become stronger in both wolf and normal form if the moons are full wink.gif. It is called "Full Moon Rising."

Lore-wise, they shouldn't have full moon transformations . . .except for Sinding, who isn't part of the Circle's strain. Enough rambling though, I completely agree with you on this matter. First person, especially -_-

Oh and werewolves who need Totems in order to have hunter's vision. What the hell is that, Bethesda?

I thought that Full Moon Rising was bugged.

If Talos isn't a god, then why does praying at his shrine give you a blessing?

This is more of a bug than a silly thing, buuuut:

If you picked a common name for your character, a duplicate of your character may appear as a random pilgrim worshiping in the temple. Your doppelganger, if spoken to, may recite a word of power (similar to the Graybeards), nothing, or dialog from the priest of Mara. It otherwise cannot be interacted with or targeted for any purpose.


That's from the Wiki. I was looking up the temple of Mara in Riften when I came across this, lol

It probably has to be a common name for the race you're playing.

Taking an arrow to the knee will effectively end your career as an adventurer. You'll then be required to go through the rest of your life as a guard and constantly relive your glory days by telling passers by all about it.

Hey!...That's not nice... biggrin.gif ...

Although, I did discover that if you rename an armour piece having enchanted it it will change name if it's too close to the other name...

2 sets of armour...

J'zirlo...and J'zargo...

Give J'zargo the one meant for J'zirlo by accident and it instantly and forever becomes J'zargos...



Oh, and things I learned...

It seemingly takes an hour(-ish) to go out through a door...

No-one bats an eyelid if you sell them half a dozen dragon bones...

An alchemy shop will happily buy the largest, most deadly warhammer that ever existed...

I'm someone that can get things done...She likes that... wub.gif ...


Grits
Skyrim is home to voracious but unseen scavengers. Sometimes you have to leave a giant or dragon carcass right outside your front door. But the next time you go outside it will have been carried away, skin, scale, flesh, and bone.

Except nothing will touch an ash pile.

Wow this is AMAZING if it's true. So if I make a Ysolda, this is saying I will meet her twin? It's almost worth doing, then, even if the RP winds up being shallow.

Apparently, handsome men rarely show up in Falkreath.

Although I have never witnessed this, men sometimes get wrapped around the fingers of females, also in Falkreath.

Building a house requires no tools, but it does require a workbench, draft table, and a few other solid fixtures.

Beggars never ask for more than a single coin.

Bandits refuse to figure out 'which college he meant', as if there are dozens to choose from.

Diving into icy cold water will not cause hypothermia.

Some dogs not only can speak, they have New England accents while doing so

Sigurd works for Belethor, at the general goods store. mellow.gif

Bandits who daydream of becoming wizards only desire to turn wood to gold, effectively destroying the rarity of this precious metal.

Dual weaponry is popular, but the act of parrying with both weapons has not been discovered yet.

Sigurd works for Belethor at the ARRGH! viking.gif nono.gif

Thieves only know one method of killing (gutting like a fish).

Court wizards are often preoccupied, never sleep, speak with a lisp, and/or have us "figured for a mage", even if our character is brandishing smelly armor with a giant battleaxe to boot.

Ataxia has become quite a problem back in Cyrodiil.

If a merchant happens to be selling food that seems way too fresh, chances are it's stolen, or there's something fishy going on.

Children only know how to play tag, hide 'n' seek, or summon Night Mothers from the void.
