Reminds me of an experience I had with the scenic carriages mod (you sit in the back of the carriage and it actually drives to your destination in real-time) - I was going from Whiterun to Windhelm, by the time we got there we ran over and killed a Whiterun Guard, a child (had a mod that marked essential NPCs as protected), a random encounter thief and a Snow Bear.
Deer falling from the sky, Bears learning how to fly, Kynareth, need you be reminded that these beasts do not have wings?
Besides that, I've also heard some conversation about a character named Elydi the Bear as well as a mannequin moving in Proudspire. I took one look at it. Never went back there ever again. I think I deleted that save...got a new computer too...
This is not really an Odd-Going, but it was pretty awesome.
You know when you kill a bear, and then it starts walking in the same place? Well that happened to me the other day, but one thing made it different than most other times. I was listening to a song called "The Birthing" by Baroness. The thing was I was watching it, getting blazed with my friend who has just shown me a drawn out picture of Jasper Kane cleaved in two, and I was sitting there thinking while he passed me the bong.
"This would be thee greatest music video ever for this song!"
I guess I wasn't thinking it, because I spoke it aloud. His brother, and him looked at me, and then looked at the screen. Witnessed what I was watching, and looked back at me. Agreeing that it would be thee perfect music video for this particular song.
It was literally just a bear walking in one spot. Backwards too I think, couldn't really tell. Because the motions look similar. Anyways, that is my "Odd going-on in Skyrim". Not really anything special besides the fact I discovered the best music video ever. Maybe one day I'll post something like it on the Blog.
Once in Lakeview manor my mannequin(equipped with Dark Brotherhood armor) was just walking around like a normal NPC. It went back into mannequin mode after a few seconds, but it gave me a heart attack
Then there was the dragon attack on the college right after I got the staff of magnus. He pissed off pretty quickly after going through a couple of lightning bolts from the 4 mages on the bridge, right over the Magnus barrier, and died 2 hours later
I had a variation of that one. A guy claiming to have been robbed wanted me to walk him home. A dragon swooped in and he got killed during the fight. A little ways up the road I ran into the bandits, and killed them all, assuming it was they who robbed the dead guy. It wasn't till a later play through that I realized he was leading me into an ambush!
I was messing around with console commands the other day, and used setrace khajiit on a rabbit; it disappeared, so I forgot about it.
I later loaded the save on the Xbox, began travelling the roads and every now and then a Khajiit head would float past, bobbing as it went. The best one was near Whiterun, since I was riding a horse on the other side of the river towards Riften and a very angry-looking floating Khajiit head charged me head on. He killed my horse, and when I killed it, it shot into the air. A very peculiar day for me.
I reverse pickpocketed about thirty various poisons onto Maro during Breaching Security, including some paralysis and slow for good measure in case he survived. Soon as I exit the menu, Maro starts flying all over plaza where the gildegreen tree stands, moving so rapidly I couldn't even keep the cursor on him to make out the odd contortion his body may have been going through during the turbulent flight. His health bar is draining for a few seconds, then just freezes about 2/3rd down. About nineteen seconds later I'd guess, (the length of my paralysis poison) he stops flying his ragdoll tornado, snaps in place so quickly he might have landed on his feet, and keeps on going.
On my character's first trip to Solstheim, the Northern Maiden somehow went off-course as it headed into the harbor, and began to sink. Locked into the game's animation, I was helpless to save my character, and she drowned.
I've always wondered if she would have survived the glitch if she'd been wearing a waterbreathing item...
I wonder if the Captain had one? He kept up his warnings about Solstheim as the ship was "sinking," and didn't stop speaking until my character's health bar was empty. He also didn't appear to notice the glubglubglub noises she was making.
Actually, with all the ice bergs in Skyrim's waters, I think it would make sense for the sailors to have waterbreathing items in the absence of life preservers.
