Intro
As with any great game, Skyrim has its fair share of illogical or failures as I call them. Failures are things that make the player question the sanity of that Npc or wonder WHy the hell is this not an option. There are so many failures,however I will only be naming my top ten. I however want to see what your guys favorite failures are so comment below. Without further Ado I present Top Ten Skyrim Fails!
10.Curiosity Killed the Cat
Arniel, silly arniel. You wanted to see how the dwemer disappeared. Did you really think it was wise to try and recreate the unexplained disappearance of an entire race? ANd I thought wizard's were supposed to be smart. Then again you refused to teach us how to enchant so perhaps you aren't too bright after all. Cmon destroying yourself in a blinding light? FAIL!
9. The Web That You Weave
This one is a double fail on your part Arvel the Swift. Not only did you manage to get yourself caught by a huge ass spider, but then after we rescued you you tried to run away. Tsk Tsk, greed is always the downfall of you silly little bandits, you claim to care about wealth and yet you live in poverty outside the town? FAIL!
8. The Fallen "Hero"
Gaze upon her mightiness fellow SKyrim enthusiasts, the great dwemer researchist Katriah! ... Who fell off a cliff and died. I cannot even think of a lamer way to die, and to make matters worse your ghost stays behind just for a dumb artifact? FAIL!
7. Sticks and Stones May Break My Bones But Words Can't Hurt Me
Well Torygg, apparently they can, killed by a a nord with a big mouth. You died in a verbal argument, then your death proceeded to descend the land you once ruled into turmoil, which causes the deaths of hundreds all because you can't take an insult? FAIL!
6. Eyes Are The GateWays To The Soul Or Nah?
Malyn Varen, didn't your mother ever tell you not to go looking for daedric artifacts. Well you stomped all over her wisdom and in the process got your soul stuck in a little star shaped gem. Congrats dude, you must have an awesome life in that soul gem right? WRONG FAIL!
5. An Eye For An Eye Or For An Elf?
To be fair to Savos Aren, I suppose this isn't so much a fail as it is example of how lame some people in Skyrim are. The great and all powerful Arch-mage of the college of winterhold was killed by a moody elf with a giant orb. LAME!
4. I Used To Be an Adventurer Like You...
Karliah, your supposed to be an expert with a bow and yet you shot me instead of Mercer. And I don't want any of this I couldn't tell the difference Bullshit I'm a god damn Argonian, does Mercer look like a lizard to you? FAIL!
3. Honesty Would've Been The Best Policy
Jesus Astrid where do I start, you freaking betrayed your best assassin and in the process destroyed our entire freaking guild. You then proceeded to burn all gross and burny and think giving me nothing but a stupid little dagger full of your tears makes up for it? FAIL!
2.Let's Play Tag Your Dead
Skjor, supposedly one of the "better" companions. While we were wolfing the F out you decided to take on the entire silver hand all by yourself and you wound up dead. Thanks for the wolf armor but next time have a bit of patience it will save your freaking life Eh? FAIL!
1. Timber, Oh Wait Never mind
I had to save this on e for last of course! Mr. executioner man I don't really thin the axe is so heavy you really have to sit there for 20 minutes with your arms suspended in the air taking your sweet old time when "Gasp" how convenient you fall over when the dragon comes. FAIL!
Thanks for reading my fails I hope you enjoyed it please post your own favorite fails I would love to hear them
Unfortunately I play on XBOX so I can't post a screenshot of Braith saying "there is no one I can't fight" to me and 5 seconds later she screamed and ran away when an Ancient Dragon attacked Whiterun. EPIC FAIL little brat!!!
Another one was a NPC battle between Stormcloaks and Thalmor. Even casting Healing Hands on the Stormcloak soldiers (because I hate Thalmor), they were taken down easily. FAIL!!!
But the best of all was me against 5 Falmers. I smashed the power button to fry them all with Fire Breath Shout, but I forgot to select the Fire Breath and instead I summoned the Dremora Butler. EPIC FAIL!!!
I have never been a fan of the Skyrim introduction. Alduin showing up right as the hilariously slow headsman is about to swing an axe down on your neck, even though you're the only one who could have stopped him, is just too obviously contrived (and hilarious), and you get thrown straight into "You're the Dragonborn" within an hour. I guess with how the main quest is, I shouldn't be surprised I'm disappointed in how it begins.
The whole intro itself is kind of Fail #1 for me. Alduin's just along for the ride.
I rather like the intro (as I rather like the whole main quest), but I don't like how you can't skip or speed it up at all. I can pretty much recite every line of dialogue from waking up in the cart to the meeting with Hadlof's families.
But, I like the Dragonborn's story and have no interest in any of those alternate start mods, so...bleh.
I personally believe that it's the act of destroying the guardian of the Dragon Stone that turns the Character into the Dragonborn. You may see it differently, but this would be one of the many explanations for the dragonborn being able to be elven. Now this may not be the truth, but it helps for roleplaying purposes.
