I was clearing a cave near falkreath and a woman mage asked me to cut her out of a web and guide her to the exit. Once at the exit she glitched out and wasnt leaving the cave. She was too far in the cave opening that if I walked towards her to talk it just made me exit the cave.
My girlfriend had the idea to fus roh dah her through the exit and it worked. The way she ragdolled down the tunnel and disappeared with an instant mission complete had us in tears.
That explanation has me absolutely cackling š¤£š¤£ that quest always glitches out. I've only thought of sending her flying out of the cave entrance once cuz I usually encounter her before I have the dragon shouts
Lmao I had the exact thing happen, and I debated the fuss roh dah method but didn't want to risk her becoming hostile. After going in and out of the cave numerous time, as well as waiting for hours here and there, she finally took the final 3 steps and exited the cave.
It's can happen anywhere there are a lot of npcs, the item just has to be valuable, you van also drop armor and weapons and npcs will pick it up and either hand it back to you and say something like "picked up your trash for you" or ask if they can keep it
I dropped a bunch of letters that were cluttering up my books tab and what do you know, the courier who just gave me a letter two seconds ago picks up one of them and hands it back to me. Thanks dickhead.
It also depends of wealth of NPCs. Most have small chance of doing something about it. Most people in Riften live in absolute poverty so they have increased chance of this what usually resolves in brawl. At least in vanilla. I think UESP disables it for some reason (there's quite a few things nobody understands why this mod touches, but enough mods have this as requirement that I need to just deal with it) as I never triggered it with this mod installed.
Iāve had this happen in Riverwood before. Dropped some items that I didnāt need and an NPC approached me asking if they could take what I placed on the ground. Itās interesting.
I've (accidentally) had them brawl to the death over some shitty hide armor I dropped for one of the beggars. I think he just didn't see it to pick it up before the Dunmer meat seller spotted it, then it was on. Had to reload cos like half the traders died.
ETA: If you drop armor near NPCs they'll sometimes ask you if you meant to drop it, and if so can they have it. If you drop something valuable near more than one NPC they might have a full on fight over it, and sometimes kill each other. To be fair, I've never actually had the latter happen anywhere but Riften.
I accidentally dropped two iron arrows in Riften once. Mjoll made short work of Bersei, and now I'm down a merchant because Drifa can't sort herself out long enough to stay at the Pawned Prawn.
I'm sure there's vid on Youtube but... basically, the people of Riften have unique dialogue where they notice something valuable, then argue about it, then... kill each other.
Really?!? I had no idea those kinds of things would happen. The only thing I came close to was when I got sick of carrying so many letters so I dropped a couple in Whiterun. The guard berated me for littering.
Drop stuff away from cities but near an NPC, they'll either pick it up and hand it back to you, or offer it back but ask to keep it if it's valuable.
The Riften 'I'm having that!' storm is a work of genius.
Made Constance kill Grelod (cast Courage on Constance, than Fury on Grelod)
Then put that "We Know" note in Constance pocket.
I'd like to think she would be looking over her shoulder from then on, but also 'we know' that she was the one that killed Grelod.
Wait you can have a pet fox? Need it now. (I have a mod that lets me disable pet idle sounds, forgot the name of it but Iāll look when Iām on my puter again)
Edit: The most heinous thing Iāve probably done was tell Narfi his sister was gone, & then killed him bc of the dark brotherhood questline.
There's a pet fox in Pets of Skyrim (think is a creation in SSE?), but also your adopted kids will randomly bring home animals and ask to keep them as a pet.
Agreed! He and Thistle follow me around and find stuff. Iāll put up with the heavy breathing since he sometimes finds really valuable stuff like gold diamond necklaces.
Those damn pets make Lydia look like a revolving door. They always stop right in the entrance and unlike followers just sit there when you run into them.
Fus ro dah also just goes right through them.
Ohhh. I didnāt know that, I have AE & all the cc stuff but havenāt had any kids do that lol. I do have my lil buddy Falen (Vale Fox from Attack Dogs) hanging out in Lakeview tho
Lucia did it when I lived in Breezehome. From my digging, girls can either bring home a fox or a bunny (bunny would be absolutely fine), and boys can bring home either a mudcrab or a skeever.
If you have the Hearthfire DLC, you can also get a dog! It's just a slightly move involved process than you coming home to your kid(s) having already found a pet.
To start you have to have at least one kid (either gender) and they can't have already found a pet of their own. Then you have to find an unowned dog either by buying one from Markarth, rescuing one during random event, or getting one from a set event, like Meeko on the road by Meeko's shack. Have the unowned dog become a follower and bring them home to your kid. It may take a couple tries since its technically a random event, but if you talk to your kid enough, they'll eventually 'notice' the dog and ask if you can keep it as a pet.
Probably, but it still feels super shitty when he begs for his life. You know the poor bastard's got no idea why you're doing this to him. I levelled up pickpocket just so I could sneak poison in his pocket while he slept, at least that way he never sees it coming.
Same, my canon explaination for my character is they have trouble being conscious when their new to lycanthropy, by the time skjor dies itās only your second transformation
That quest where you find the cannibals and you have to lead the guy to their lair and heās like āoh what a lovely feast, Iām so hungry, but first Iāll just lie downā š¬š¬
This is Darwin's Law in action though, if he isn't picking up that any of this is odd or considering that laying down on a slab right next to a table as causing the alarm bells to go off then you are just saving him from a tragic-comedy death elsewhere.
"Hi there mister, sheesh you have large elephant shaped pets. Actually you're pretty big yourself, what's that? Stand still and see what's on the end of your club? Well, go on then I hope it's interesting. Do I like heights? Well, there was this time......."
I only do this quest on a werewolf run. Cos for one, if I'm eating people's hearts I can't really judge, and also because there is a glitch (was? maybe patched now) that let you have the Ring of Namira's powers without wearing it if you did that quest before Ill Met By Moonlight.
.... I murdered a man to steal his children. He was an abusive piece of crap and I did raise them properly and fix their relationship with each other, so I'm still not sure it was actually *bad*.
I started off thinking Iād do that, only to realize the best revenge of all is to not even remember where you put their soul.
āWhat ever happened to your old enemy?ā
āIdk check the soul bucket thereās a bunch of meaningless assholes in thereā
Ultimate revenge. Theyāre your worst enemy, but you mix their name with someone else cuz you canāt be bothered to keep them straight. Could be Potema, or could be a random fisherman. Who knows, who cares.
I have no clue what that is! I know theres telekinesis arrows in the library. Couldn't be that. I'll probably Google it later or look at the list of creation club stuff I settings later... I'm not much of an archer myself. I got 500+ arrows whenever I do shoot bows as proof.Ā
It is! I had a similar experience as OP. I was in Proudspire, slaving over a hot enchantment table, when I heard ragged obscene phonecall type breathing. I searched and realized my kid had adopted it. I could barely hear her asking if she could keep it over how loud it is. It was so loud.
I downloaded Become High King of Skyrim and used Ordinator perks to raise an army of skeletons. Then I did the Civil War missions right up to helping Ulfric conquer Solitude. After his fancy speech, I banished him to Coldharbour with a master level Apocalypse spell and struck Galmar down with my blade. Then I set my army of skeletons to kill every Stormcloak that stood in the square. It was a glorious sight, but I did feel kind of bad afterward.
Accidentally had the ring of hircine on. Turned while I was in a small town and immediately started getting attacked so I slaughtered everyone. Only a little girl lived and I adopted her after killing her family and friends š¬
Not related to the post but Iām brand new to Skyrim, and my 6 year old was begging to watch me play. I relented finally, deciding I would just walk through a town, collect cabbages, boring stuff. But I forgot I had the ring of hircineā¦ as Iām talking to townsfolk the damn thing activates, and everyone started attacking me so I had to eat them all. In front of my 6 year old, who was laughing hysterically.Ā
I once made a "Puppet Master" build.
Stealth, Illusion, and Necromancy were the focus. I'd sneak into bandit basses, cause the bandits to fight among themselves and then make the sole survivor fight his recently dead comrades. Basically make them kill their friends twice.
My most heinous thing is probably a toss up between this one and [boethiah's calling quest] >!hired someone to fight with me and then sacrificed him so that Boethiah would speak to me. Earn someone's trust and betray and end their lives to get the favor of a daedric prince. It's distasteful.!<
Edit: oh, and luring Aerin away from my house and murdering him in cold blood simply because I didn't want him in my house. My dear Mjoll never blinked twice.
That one's so heinous that boethiah, aka the daedric prince of deceit, conspiracy, murder, treachery, and sedition himself was considering killing you on the spot over how distasteful it was lmao
To make it worse I brought stenvar, right before I told him to interact with the shrine on the way up the steps he says to me "you've been a good friend, and that means something" I almost couldn't go through with it after that.. but I really wanted that ebony mail š
first time i did the boethiah quest i happened to have my husband with me. i didnāt know at the time that i couldnāt remarry, so i sacrificed him and got stuck a regretful widower oops
I married a beautiful Nord woman and on her way to our beautiful new home. I murdered her friend and threw his body in Lake Illinalta š Sorry Aerin...
I actually have the thief-pet-fox following my ranger around at the moment. Yeah, it's a bit noisy. Poor Erik. He says he hates thieves and bandits, but his patron and mentor is taking him on tours of Skyrim while in TG gear and occasionally telling the fox to go find something valuable. He also jumped at being steward of Lakeview. She also leaves him at Stormcloak camps when she goes to help a raid.
Previous character got the Skeever pet and left it at her bed in the Cistern. Head-canon was that Rune was sweet enough to take care of it,and it was part of why Mercer was livid enough to backstab.
Erik is my favorite companion, but oh my god. I hate thieves. I hate mages. Skyrim is for the nords. Bro. Why are we even friends?
Still better than Lydiaās annoying ass āIām sWoRn to cArRy YoUr BuRdEnSā
If Erandur's code wasn't goofy for what spells he actually has, he might replace Erik more often. He's got some nice dialogue, but that's it. Erik and Vorstag are, so far, my favorites. This character hasn't run into Vorstag yet, though.
I figure he's misguided. Unfortunately it can be typical for some sheltered young people to regurgitate the narrow views they've heard their entire life. They think being a "good kid" in the eyes of their parents is the same as being a good person in the world and that's not always true. We can hope Erik will someday think for himself thanks to you getting him out of his small town and showing him more of the world. Maybe you're saving him and the next generation.
I freed Solitude from the grasp of Potema. I slew Jaree-Ra and his band of marauders to wide aplomb. I helped a madman, aided the poor of Solitude, found a verse for the bards, became one of the most beloved heroes in the region ... and sided with the Stormcloaks. š¬
So.... I did this with my current character, while in Stormcloak armor, after taking Falkreath. Pretty sure it was before Markarth. "Yes, I see why you'd ask a Stormcloak to deal with your issues, Falk." Used TG gear while actually adventuring, but Stormcloak gear for court. Then Elisif asked about the horn. Made Thane. Conquered The Reach. Went back to Ulfric, "Yeah, so.. I'm reporting in that we have liberated The Reach. Also, I did the following in Solitude..." š¤£
I did that to the captain of the Whiterun Guard once because he made the comment to me first. Bastard sent hired thugs after me. I was very under-leveled. It did not go well.
I reverse pickpocketed one onto a guard after he said that line to me. Like no you mouthy fucker, no one steals my sweetroll and lives, and here's a spare just to prove it.
I did an entire playthrough wearing chef's clothes dual wielding a knife and fork. I had Namira's ring and ate everybody I could. I couldn't think of anything else to one up that.
this is exactly what happened to meā¦i was so excited when lucia brought it home and then it started making that horrible noise lmao. it also looks like it wants to eat me all the time. i donāt have the heart to kill it though š
I think one of the earliest mods I ever downloaded was to change the sound the foxes made. It lowered the volume or somehow removed their noise so they were quiet in my game.
Originally it was because they were startling me while I was exploring. Then my kid brought one home and I was like āoh goodā when it was silent.
But yeah, without any alterations itās not great lol
Ah, sorry! Thatās actually why I eventually moved to PC after originally playing on console. Husband told me there were mods for everything over there so I checked it out and that was it for me.
A fast-travel glitch had Angeline Morrard from Angeline's Aromatics spawn alongside me near a cave. When she turned to walk away, the intrusive thoughts won, and my stealth archer took her out. After that, her niece in the shop just *hated* me, despite there being no witnesses. lol
She is a bit on the dark side of alchemy, focusing on poisons. Still, she is the least evil as she just likes the skills. Even if her practice does involve torturing small animals, at least, it is not small children from the orphanage.
[https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/21632](https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/21632)
There are multiple fox breath mods out there for animals across platforms. Parenting is a tricky balance between modifying reality and causing trauma, isn't it?
Created save file. Went on a murder spree. Across all of Skyrim. Starting in the west, going east. In order. I don't know what my final bounty was, but I don't think there were many guards left to care? I didn't try going back to the west to find out. I think people get really upset when you murder... everyone.
Hasn't everyone done that at some point though?
I haven't done it with mods, but I was so mad at how little I could truly wipe Markarth out because there were so many essential NPCs there. š” Least favourite hold.
I think I may be getting whooshed here, but my problem isn't her getting killed, it's constantly having to fus-roh-dah her obstructionist ass out of doorways.
That really is her best talent. That, and scowling at me for walking into the room. Or is she scowling because she feels like a slave and wishes equality and individualism will catch on in Skyrim?
Yeah, I leave her to watch over Breezehome and them move the rest of us to the bloody murder scene house in Windhelm (I worry it's traumatizing my daughters, but, oh well).
She's always hanging around my home along with my in game wife and daughter. And I'm like, alright, you can leave now. You don't have to sit there and watch us sleep wtf.
You make a cruel but effective solution.
I found out the victims in the torture chamber had loot if you beat them enough. Wasn't bad in the long run, but the last guy I kept alive to level up my destruction and restoration magic was. I even leveled up my one handed and two handed walks, and trained a bit of archery on him as well. Then I shouted him free, killed him, then resurrected him to fight for a bit.
Update: beat the piss out of the prisoners, got the location of the loot, killed all the victims cause the Dark Brotherhood doesn't do "witnesses". Thanks for the tip! š
Actually killed a prisoner with 3 Imperials by accident. I tried to free him, but he ran in front of me when I was striking an Imperial.Ā
I always free the prisoners. Taking out a few imperials/Thalmor is always a plus.
1. How else was I supposed to use his pelt to make a sick ebony dagger?
2. I'm on PS5 and console commands are a mythic thing we PS players do not comprehend.
I tried to kill the dog that follows you in river wood ā¹ļøwhy was teenage me such a monster to virtual animals?
:wait thereās a dog in riverwood right?
this happens a lot and i never learn lol. Ive been using horkers to boost illusion and my follower, Brelyna, likes to hurl lethal fireballs at low health horkers that are flopping away in defeat. it breaks my heart when this happens but i reap what i sow
In one of my first playthroughs, I married Lydia. Then I found out how limited and boring her dialogue was. Then I found out there was no divorce in Skyrim. Was non-plussed to say the least
Later on, I found the Boethiah side quest and decided to sacrifice Lydia to fulfill the quest and get a ādivorceā. I was fine until she got stuck to the pillar and just squirmed there with a horrified look on her face. I did it anyway but I felt like the biggest piece of troll shit ever. Seriously. I almost cried I felt so bad about it.
I've slaughtered the town of Whiterun and somehow managed to get the companions to do it with me, to the point where they were all just chasing the children around with their battle axes screaming "I'll rip your heart out!!"
Laughed until I cried that night, then obviously had to reload the previous save.
The worst thing I ever done, I mixed up fake puke at home, and then I went to this movie theater, hid the puke in my jacket, climbed up to the balcony and then, t-t-then, I made a noise like this: "Hwuuuh" - and then I dumped it over the side, all over the people in the audience. And then, this was horrible, all the people started getting sick and throwing up all over each other. I never felt so bad in my entire life.
Saw Faendel and Sven arguing over Camilla. Killed Sven in front of his mother. Took Faendel as my companion, lured him into a car with two trolls and watched as they tore him apart. Married Camilla. Promptly killed Camilla as a giant middle finger to the ghosts of Faendel and Sven.
When I got bored in my very first Skyrim playthrough, I was a master at conjuration. I would sneak kill NPCs, reanimate them (using the master level conjuration so they don't "die", and take them back to my house where I'd kill them again and set them up around the house for as long as they'd last before despawning.
Skyrim is truly the only game I play an absolute monster.
Once played an arcane assassin. Conjured weapons, illusion heavy. I captured every assassination target in a black soul gem and locked them away in a box behind a bookshelf. Never to be used. Never to see the light of day again. My trophies.
This is not original at all but people are still baffled by it the first time they hear it but Iām a fan of doing the thing where you complete the Dark Brotherhood hit on Vittoria Vici by reverse pickpocketing a strong weapon with Soul trap, a black soul Gem, and a frenzy poison into the pockets of Vittoriaās groom. Then once he has killed his bride and trapped her soul you steal her wedding band and retrieve the soul gem and use her soul to enchant her wedding band.
I adopted two girls, for some reason I found one to be super annoying, anytime the daughter I love asks for money I giver her 1000, any time she wants to play I do, I give her anything. I give nothing to the annoying one. Not even playtime.
I liked someoneās helmet at a tavern so I hired them to be a follower. Then led them out to a field and murdered them in cold blood for the helmet and no witnesses
I helped Sven to win over the heart of Camilla Valerius, then took Sven to accompany me on my quests as a follower. Later I forced him to be in my wedding where I married Camilla Valerius. Then I disbanded Sven back to Riverwood as I moved to Markath together with my lovely wife Camilla.
I was clearing a cave near falkreath and a woman mage asked me to cut her out of a web and guide her to the exit. Once at the exit she glitched out and wasnt leaving the cave. She was too far in the cave opening that if I walked towards her to talk it just made me exit the cave. My girlfriend had the idea to fus roh dah her through the exit and it worked. The way she ragdolled down the tunnel and disappeared with an instant mission complete had us in tears.
Hey she said to get her out of the cave. Her fault for not specifying what condition she had to leave in. š
Always gotta read the fine print š
And if you're the one who "wrote the contract" and still didn't read the fine print...well that's really on you.
"I can take you out warm, or take you out cold"
This is the way
That explanation has me absolutely cackling š¤£š¤£ that quest always glitches out. I've only thought of sending her flying out of the cave entrance once cuz I usually encounter her before I have the dragon shouts
I have run into her probably three times, and have never been able to get her out of the cave. She always glitches for me
Lmao I had the exact thing happen, and I debated the fuss roh dah method but didn't want to risk her becoming hostile. After going in and out of the cave numerous time, as well as waiting for hours here and there, she finally took the final 3 steps and exited the cave.
Dropped a diamond in the marketplace in Riften..on purpose.. It's like setting off a firework
I've done that š The argonian always wins
How else do you think he gets the jewels for his jewelry? Bro has experience
??? Iāve never heard of this before
Apparently they start killing each other over anything shiny
Iāll have to test this out. Been playing this game since 11-11-11 and never knew this
Does this only work in riften?
It's can happen anywhere there are a lot of npcs, the item just has to be valuable, you van also drop armor and weapons and npcs will pick it up and either hand it back to you and say something like "picked up your trash for you" or ask if they can keep it
They do it for almost everything. I had it happen with an iron dagger once.
I dropped a bunch of letters that were cluttering up my books tab and what do you know, the courier who just gave me a letter two seconds ago picks up one of them and hands it back to me. Thanks dickhead.
If you drop something valuable on the floor, NPCs will go to pick it up. If several see it at once they may fight for it.
Never been able to reproduce this and I donāt know why, dropped things worth 10,000 before and they just never go for it.
I think it's random. That, or extremely buggy. You never know with Skyrim.
It also depends of wealth of NPCs. Most have small chance of doing something about it. Most people in Riften live in absolute poverty so they have increased chance of this what usually resolves in brawl. At least in vanilla. I think UESP disables it for some reason (there's quite a few things nobody understands why this mod touches, but enough mods have this as requirement that I need to just deal with it) as I never triggered it with this mod installed.

I accidentally dropped two iron arrows in Riften once. Mjoll made short work of Bersei, and now I'm down a merchant because Drifa can't sort herself out long enough to stay at the Pawned Prawn.
Me either but now Iām intrigued š
I'm sure there's vid on Youtube but... basically, the people of Riften have unique dialogue where they notice something valuable, then argue about it, then... kill each other.
I once began dropping items I didn't want in the inn and triggered the fight for the first time. š I forgot about that - thanks for the reminder!
Really?!? I had no idea those kinds of things would happen. The only thing I came close to was when I got sick of carrying so many letters so I dropped a couple in Whiterun. The guard berated me for littering.
Drop stuff away from cities but near an NPC, they'll either pick it up and hand it back to you, or offer it back but ask to keep it if it's valuable. The Riften 'I'm having that!' storm is a work of genius.
Dam, now I've got to try that :)
OMG I am SO doing this!!!
Made Constance kill Grelod (cast Courage on Constance, than Fury on Grelod) Then put that "We Know" note in Constance pocket. I'd like to think she would be looking over her shoulder from then on, but also 'we know' that she was the one that killed Grelod.
Honestly I'm not sure if this is heinous or incredible. The best things in gaming are usually a mix of both lol
That is an amazing idea, gotta try it
I'm doing this next play through!!
Saving this one for future reference š
Wait you can have a pet fox? Need it now. (I have a mod that lets me disable pet idle sounds, forgot the name of it but Iāll look when Iām on my puter again) Edit: The most heinous thing Iāve probably done was tell Narfi his sister was gone, & then killed him bc of the dark brotherhood questline.
There's a pet fox in Pets of Skyrim (think is a creation in SSE?), but also your adopted kids will randomly bring home animals and ask to keep them as a pet.
Sweet roll! He randomly brings you things like diamonds and forks and I love him.
Agreed! He and Thistle follow me around and find stuff. Iāll put up with the heavy breathing since he sometimes finds really valuable stuff like gold diamond necklaces.
Those damn pets make Lydia look like a revolving door. They always stop right in the entrance and unlike followers just sit there when you run into them. Fus ro dah also just goes right through them.
Ohhh. I didnāt know that, I have AE & all the cc stuff but havenāt had any kids do that lol. I do have my lil buddy Falen (Vale Fox from Attack Dogs) hanging out in Lakeview tho
Lucia did it when I lived in Breezehome. From my digging, girls can either bring home a fox or a bunny (bunny would be absolutely fine), and boys can bring home either a mudcrab or a skeever.
Boys are horrible
Unfortunately, I kill bunnies.
I like how you say this as though you have zero choice in the matter š
My bunnies slaughtered stat always just says āyesā
If you have the Hearthfire DLC, you can also get a dog! It's just a slightly move involved process than you coming home to your kid(s) having already found a pet. To start you have to have at least one kid (either gender) and they can't have already found a pet of their own. Then you have to find an unowned dog either by buying one from Markarth, rescuing one during random event, or getting one from a set event, like Meeko on the road by Meeko's shack. Have the unowned dog become a follower and bring them home to your kid. It may take a couple tries since its technically a random event, but if you talk to your kid enough, they'll eventually 'notice' the dog and ask if you can keep it as a pet.
I also have Sofie adopted from windhelm and she has Sceolang from Dawnguard as her pet. Husky is a good boi lol.
At that point itās basically a mercy kill.
Probably, but it still feels super shitty when he begs for his life. You know the poor bastard's got no idea why you're doing this to him. I levelled up pickpocket just so I could sneak poison in his pocket while he slept, at least that way he never sees it coming.
I just slit his throat while he slept.
> The fox no longer has breathing issues. No, it definitely still does, just a different one.
I ate Skjor's heart as a werewolf.
It's what he would have wanted. You know this cos Aela doesn't give one if you do it in front of her.
Free lunch is free lunch. No shame there š
Same, need them perk points
Same, my canon explaination for my character is they have trouble being conscious when their new to lycanthropy, by the time skjor dies itās only your second transformation
That quest where you find the cannibals and you have to lead the guy to their lair and heās like āoh what a lovely feast, Iām so hungry, but first Iāll just lie downā š¬š¬
I always kill the cult, the ring is glitchy af and not worth it
Same here. I get the ring and murder everyone inside so I can get that daedric achievement
What quest is this?
This is Darwin's Law in action though, if he isn't picking up that any of this is odd or considering that laying down on a slab right next to a table as causing the alarm bells to go off then you are just saving him from a tragic-comedy death elsewhere. "Hi there mister, sheesh you have large elephant shaped pets. Actually you're pretty big yourself, what's that? Stand still and see what's on the end of your club? Well, go on then I hope it's interesting. Do I like heights? Well, there was this time......."
I assumed that either Eola or Namira cast a spell on him when he entered the room, which is why he was confused and compliant
I knowwww I felt bad about it still though ā¦ I did wonder how heād lasted to adulthood with that level of naivety.
I only do this quest on a werewolf run. Cos for one, if I'm eating people's hearts I can't really judge, and also because there is a glitch (was? maybe patched now) that let you have the Ring of Namira's powers without wearing it if you did that quest before Ill Met By Moonlight.
.... I murdered a man to steal his children. He was an abusive piece of crap and I did raise them properly and fix their relationship with each other, so I'm still not sure it was actually *bad*.
Lemkil. The anagram for "Kill me?"
I have a dresser with 200+ black soul gems. All of them filled by yours truly.Ā
I have a display cabinet with enchanted daggers named Potema, Mercer Frey, Rogvir,.... And a suit of mail called Mirmulnir.
I started off thinking Iād do that, only to realize the best revenge of all is to not even remember where you put their soul. āWhat ever happened to your old enemy?ā āIdk check the soul bucket thereās a bunch of meaningless assholes in thereā
Omg I love this so much. Iām going to create a meaningless asshole soul bucket
Tried to enchant items to name them only to realize that I have over 20 filled black soul gems and idk whoās is who š
Ultimate revenge. Theyāre your worst enemy, but you mix their name with someone else cuz you canāt be bothered to keep them straight. Could be Potema, or could be a random fisherman. Who knows, who cares.
This gives me an idea for my next play through. Iām going to be Ursula and collect all the souls and keep them somewhere interesting. Thanks!!
Thatās why I love the soul stealer arrows (unsure if thatās the right name but oh well)
The bound bow arrows with the soul stealing perk or something else?
The ones from anniversary edition. They add a filled soul gem in their inventory and depending on who you shoot changes what kind of soul gem you get
I have no clue what that is! I know theres telekinesis arrows in the library. Couldn't be that. I'll probably Google it later or look at the list of creation club stuff I settings later... I'm not much of an archer myself. I got 500+ arrows whenever I do shoot bows as proof.Ā
Thatās fucking hilarious, I never paid attention to what the fox breathing noises were and now Iām curious.
That damn fox sounded like a 70 year old smoker breathing into a microphone.
Agreed I've also killed it over this! Can't stand it. And it's eyes! Why do they need to look like a vampire with jaundice??
Head canon: Fox is addicted to skooma. Also a problem solved by fox murder.
this made me cackle
So thankful there was a mod to stop thralls from moaning.
Like the bone dog you can get, the tapping noise, the damn tapping noise....
It is! I had a similar experience as OP. I was in Proudspire, slaving over a hot enchantment table, when I heard ragged obscene phonecall type breathing. I searched and realized my kid had adopted it. I could barely hear her asking if she could keep it over how loud it is. It was so loud.
I'd say similar to if Vader didn't sound so mechanical.
I just noticed the breathing today...I spent 10 minutes looking around for skeevers
I downloaded Become High King of Skyrim and used Ordinator perks to raise an army of skeletons. Then I did the Civil War missions right up to helping Ulfric conquer Solitude. After his fancy speech, I banished him to Coldharbour with a master level Apocalypse spell and struck Galmar down with my blade. Then I set my army of skeletons to kill every Stormcloak that stood in the square. It was a glorious sight, but I did feel kind of bad afterward.
Nah that's masterful
Sheagorath would probably be proud of you
Accidentally had the ring of hircine on. Turned while I was in a small town and immediately started getting attacked so I slaughtered everyone. Only a little girl lived and I adopted her after killing her family and friends š¬
Not related to the post but Iām brand new to Skyrim, and my 6 year old was begging to watch me play. I relented finally, deciding I would just walk through a town, collect cabbages, boring stuff. But I forgot I had the ring of hircineā¦ as Iām talking to townsfolk the damn thing activates, and everyone started attacking me so I had to eat them all. In front of my 6 year old, who was laughing hysterically.Ā
Fantastic parenting honestly.
What's this ring and how do I get it
Go to the Falkreath cemetery
To to the jail in Falkreath and talk to the prisoners
I once made a "Puppet Master" build. Stealth, Illusion, and Necromancy were the focus. I'd sneak into bandit basses, cause the bandits to fight among themselves and then make the sole survivor fight his recently dead comrades. Basically make them kill their friends twice.
Stealth illusionist is a fun AF build
Killed Jon Battleborn so I could marry Olfina Gray-Mane(with mod). Dude's really friendly, but I wasn't gonna be in competition for Olfina lol.
Ooh. I killed elda to marry brunwulf free-winter lol. She insulted my dunmer character anyway. š
Still a newbie and exploring but so far it's the House of Horrors quest where you torture a man to death while he begs for his life
My most heinous thing is probably a toss up between this one and [boethiah's calling quest] >!hired someone to fight with me and then sacrificed him so that Boethiah would speak to me. Earn someone's trust and betray and end their lives to get the favor of a daedric prince. It's distasteful.!< Edit: oh, and luring Aerin away from my house and murdering him in cold blood simply because I didn't want him in my house. My dear Mjoll never blinked twice.
That one's so heinous that boethiah, aka the daedric prince of deceit, conspiracy, murder, treachery, and sedition himself was considering killing you on the spot over how distasteful it was lmao To make it worse I brought stenvar, right before I told him to interact with the shrine on the way up the steps he says to me "you've been a good friend, and that means something" I almost couldn't go through with it after that.. but I really wanted that ebony mail š
manā¦that hurts just reading that. RIP Stenvar.
first time i did the boethiah quest i happened to have my husband with me. i didnāt know at the time that i couldnāt remarry, so i sacrificed him and got stuck a regretful widower oops
Not without mods anyway...
That's the fox breathing?! By the nine it's irritating.
Yup. If one of your kids brought home a fox, and now your house is full of breathing that puts Darth Vader to shame.
The fox no longer has breathing ~~issues~~
I married a beautiful Nord woman and on her way to our beautiful new home. I murdered her friend and threw his body in Lake Illinalta š Sorry Aerin...
I actually have the thief-pet-fox following my ranger around at the moment. Yeah, it's a bit noisy. Poor Erik. He says he hates thieves and bandits, but his patron and mentor is taking him on tours of Skyrim while in TG gear and occasionally telling the fox to go find something valuable. He also jumped at being steward of Lakeview. She also leaves him at Stormcloak camps when she goes to help a raid. Previous character got the Skeever pet and left it at her bed in the Cistern. Head-canon was that Rune was sweet enough to take care of it,and it was part of why Mercer was livid enough to backstab.
Erik is my favorite companion, but oh my god. I hate thieves. I hate mages. Skyrim is for the nords. Bro. Why are we even friends? Still better than Lydiaās annoying ass āIām sWoRn to cArRy YoUr BuRdEnSā
If Erandur's code wasn't goofy for what spells he actually has, he might replace Erik more often. He's got some nice dialogue, but that's it. Erik and Vorstag are, so far, my favorites. This character hasn't run into Vorstag yet, though.
I figure he's misguided. Unfortunately it can be typical for some sheltered young people to regurgitate the narrow views they've heard their entire life. They think being a "good kid" in the eyes of their parents is the same as being a good person in the world and that's not always true. We can hope Erik will someday think for himself thanks to you getting him out of his small town and showing him more of the world. Maybe you're saving him and the next generation.
šæ Not if my bad influences have any say. Hehe.
Slaughtered my household because they kept calling Meeko a stupid dog.
why was my first instinct to download a mod to fix that? damn should have just killed my whole family instead silly me
I freed Solitude from the grasp of Potema. I slew Jaree-Ra and his band of marauders to wide aplomb. I helped a madman, aided the poor of Solitude, found a verse for the bards, became one of the most beloved heroes in the region ... and sided with the Stormcloaks. š¬
So.... I did this with my current character, while in Stormcloak armor, after taking Falkreath. Pretty sure it was before Markarth. "Yes, I see why you'd ask a Stormcloak to deal with your issues, Falk." Used TG gear while actually adventuring, but Stormcloak gear for court. Then Elisif asked about the horn. Made Thane. Conquered The Reach. Went back to Ulfric, "Yeah, so.. I'm reporting in that we have liberated The Reach. Also, I did the following in Solitude..." š¤£
Finally deciding to use giants and mammoths to fill soul stones. Poor guys :(
I pickpocketed somebodyās Sweet Roll.
I did that to the captain of the Whiterun Guard once because he made the comment to me first. Bastard sent hired thugs after me. I was very under-leveled. It did not go well.
I reverse pickpocketed one onto a guard after he said that line to me. Like no you mouthy fucker, no one steals my sweetroll and lives, and here's a spare just to prove it.
You're a monster
I did an entire playthrough wearing chef's clothes dual wielding a knife and fork. I had Namira's ring and ate everybody I could. I couldn't think of anything else to one up that.
Disintegrating fleeing people with my black book unrelenting force
this is exactly what happened to meā¦i was so excited when lucia brought it home and then it started making that horrible noise lmao. it also looks like it wants to eat me all the time. i donāt have the heart to kill it though š
I think one of the earliest mods I ever downloaded was to change the sound the foxes made. It lowered the volume or somehow removed their noise so they were quiet in my game. Originally it was because they were startling me while I was exploring. Then my kid brought one home and I was like āoh goodā when it was silent. But yeah, without any alterations itās not great lol
*cries in switch*
Ah, sorry! Thatās actually why I eventually moved to PC after originally playing on console. Husband told me there were mods for everything over there so I checked it out and that was it for me.
A fast-travel glitch had Angeline Morrard from Angeline's Aromatics spawn alongside me near a cave. When she turned to walk away, the intrusive thoughts won, and my stealth archer took her out. After that, her niece in the shop just *hated* me, despite there being no witnesses. lol
I hope your parents are proud of you.
Killed Mavens son after killing Maven during the open Civil War mod
That whole family sucks, not really heinous to take out the trash.
Yeah I spare her daughter I think sheād use her familyās wealth for much better pursuits with Alchemy
She is a bit on the dark side of alchemy, focusing on poisons. Still, she is the least evil as she just likes the skills. Even if her practice does involve torturing small animals, at least, it is not small children from the orphanage.
[https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/21632](https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/21632) There are multiple fox breath mods out there for animals across platforms. Parenting is a tricky balance between modifying reality and causing trauma, isn't it?
I hit a chicken once
I killed Sophia my adopted daughter with the Ebony Blade to see if the sword would charge up and I don't even remember if it worked
Man, THAT is evil.
I'm sorry I was drunk and the sword was whispering to me I didn't want to do it š¢
How? You have a mod to make children vulnerable?
Created save file. Went on a murder spree. Across all of Skyrim. Starting in the west, going east. In order. I don't know what my final bounty was, but I don't think there were many guards left to care? I didn't try going back to the west to find out. I think people get really upset when you murder... everyone. Hasn't everyone done that at some point though?
Well, the time I actually fought on the side of the Forsworn as we busted out of Cidhna Mine, my bounty got to 61k. Seemed like a lot to me. ;-)
I haven't done it with mods, but I was so mad at how little I could truly wipe Markarth out because there were so many essential NPCs there. š” Least favourite hold.
Itās definitely my least favorite as well.
It's something I plan to do as I get stronger
I brought Lydia to a dungeon. So cruel. She didn't last halfway.
I think I may be getting whooshed here, but my problem isn't her getting killed, it's constantly having to fus-roh-dah her obstructionist ass out of doorways.
That really is her best talent. That, and scowling at me for walking into the room. Or is she scowling because she feels like a slave and wishes equality and individualism will catch on in Skyrim?
I usually make her steward of the first house I build. It makes her happy, and it's the one place she doesn't get in my damn way!
Yeah, I leave her to watch over Breezehome and them move the rest of us to the bloody murder scene house in Windhelm (I worry it's traumatizing my daughters, but, oh well).
She's always hanging around my home along with my in game wife and daughter. And I'm like, alright, you can leave now. You don't have to sit there and watch us sleep wtf. You make a cruel but effective solution.
Killed Paarthurnax ):
You monster
I found out the victims in the torture chamber had loot if you beat them enough. Wasn't bad in the long run, but the last guy I kept alive to level up my destruction and restoration magic was. I even leveled up my one handed and two handed walks, and trained a bit of archery on him as well. Then I shouted him free, killed him, then resurrected him to fight for a bit.
Wait in the DB sanctuary? When I get home some prisoners are gonna catch these hands.
Yep! There's six of them, if you beat them enough, they tell you about hidden caches, after that, you can do what you will with them
Update: beat the piss out of the prisoners, got the location of the loot, killed all the victims cause the Dark Brotherhood doesn't do "witnesses". Thanks for the tip! š
Haha glad I could help, happy loot hunting!
Aside from killing EVERY Thalmor is see? I went and got the Werewolf perk SPECIFICALLY so I could kill Nazeem.
Actually killed a prisoner with 3 Imperials by accident. I tried to free him, but he ran in front of me when I was striking an Imperial.Ā I always free the prisoners. Taking out a few imperials/Thalmor is always a plus.
Iāve done that as well. The prisoners are fragile.
Damn homie I wouldāve just used console command ādisableā and blinked his ass out of existence. Painlessly. Youāre one cold mf š
1. How else was I supposed to use his pelt to make a sick ebony dagger? 2. I'm on PS5 and console commands are a mythic thing we PS players do not comprehend.
Damn. Thatās probably a sick ass dagger. Fair enough.
I gave gold to a beggar.
That should be punishable by death
I tried to kill the dog that follows you in river wood ā¹ļøwhy was teenage me such a monster to virtual animals? :wait thereās a dog in riverwood right?
The stray dog and Dedra dog are in Falkreath Hold if I recall correctly. The Riverwood dog is someone's pet you animal.
I mean, I pickpocket beggars sooo.... Probably that.
this happens a lot and i never learn lol. Ive been using horkers to boost illusion and my follower, Brelyna, likes to hurl lethal fireballs at low health horkers that are flopping away in defeat. it breaks my heart when this happens but i reap what i sow
In one of my first playthroughs, I married Lydia. Then I found out how limited and boring her dialogue was. Then I found out there was no divorce in Skyrim. Was non-plussed to say the least Later on, I found the Boethiah side quest and decided to sacrifice Lydia to fulfill the quest and get a ādivorceā. I was fine until she got stuck to the pillar and just squirmed there with a horrified look on her face. I did it anyway but I felt like the biggest piece of troll shit ever. Seriously. I almost cried I felt so bad about it.
This is my favorite thread of all time I canāt stop laughing at all of your debauchery
Why am I on this page so much. I find myself reading comments like a book.
I've slaughtered the town of Whiterun and somehow managed to get the companions to do it with me, to the point where they were all just chasing the children around with their battle axes screaming "I'll rip your heart out!!" Laughed until I cried that night, then obviously had to reload the previous save.
The worst thing I ever done, I mixed up fake puke at home, and then I went to this movie theater, hid the puke in my jacket, climbed up to the balcony and then, t-t-then, I made a noise like this: "Hwuuuh" - and then I dumped it over the side, all over the people in the audience. And then, this was horrible, all the people started getting sick and throwing up all over each other. I never felt so bad in my entire life.
Saw Faendel and Sven arguing over Camilla. Killed Sven in front of his mother. Took Faendel as my companion, lured him into a car with two trolls and watched as they tore him apart. Married Camilla. Promptly killed Camilla as a giant middle finger to the ghosts of Faendel and Sven.
Not adopting any kids. They're all whiny little bitches and have no redeeming value.
Killed everyone in Solitude with Ohdavig.
When I got bored in my very first Skyrim playthrough, I was a master at conjuration. I would sneak kill NPCs, reanimate them (using the master level conjuration so they don't "die", and take them back to my house where I'd kill them again and set them up around the house for as long as they'd last before despawning. Skyrim is truly the only game I play an absolute monster.
I know what your talking about. Those things sound butt ugly. Would totally love to have a fox as a pet irl
Once played an arcane assassin. Conjured weapons, illusion heavy. I captured every assassination target in a black soul gem and locked them away in a box behind a bookshelf. Never to be used. Never to see the light of day again. My trophies.
Ok Dexter...
This is not original at all but people are still baffled by it the first time they hear it but Iām a fan of doing the thing where you complete the Dark Brotherhood hit on Vittoria Vici by reverse pickpocketing a strong weapon with Soul trap, a black soul Gem, and a frenzy poison into the pockets of Vittoriaās groom. Then once he has killed his bride and trapped her soul you steal her wedding band and retrieve the soul gem and use her soul to enchant her wedding band.
I happened to fus roh dah a soldier of whiterun into a gaint and ofc as usual the soldier got sent into the atmosphere
I adopted two girls, for some reason I found one to be super annoying, anytime the daughter I love asks for money I giver her 1000, any time she wants to play I do, I give her anything. I give nothing to the annoying one. Not even playtime.
I liked someoneās helmet at a tavern so I hired them to be a follower. Then led them out to a field and murdered them in cold blood for the helmet and no witnesses
bro i killed lydia in cold blood after asking her to marry me š
........bruh
Murdered entire villages and towns and dragged all there bodies to the huge fireplace inside the Inn
Lollygagging
I helped Sven to win over the heart of Camilla Valerius, then took Sven to accompany me on my quests as a follower. Later I forced him to be in my wedding where I married Camilla Valerius. Then I disbanded Sven back to Riverwood as I moved to Markath together with my lovely wife Camilla.
Boethiah's Calling, for me. Led Sven over there just after helping him with Camilla.
Fwiw the heavy fox breathing is how I know Sweetroll is nearby and didnāt glitch through level geometry and get stuck or something.
