Best/Funniest/Scariest thing thats happened to you while playing?

For me it was the moment when I was doing the quest to get Azura's Star. I had the radio on. I had just gotten to the Island and came up on the hill behind Sheograth's army of creatures. I was playing as a necromancer, and I summoned a Clannfear and Dremora. I used Aryon's Helper to conjure a flame frost and storm antronch, and finally I used Aryon's Dominator to take control of a Deadroth. The Deadroth was attacked by another of thier creatures (while me and my army stood on the hill - he'd joined us, but was already in the warzone). My army took this as a personal afront and as one we charged down the hill.

I took out the Hunger with my self-enchanted Glass Staff. I saw my Dremora go down, and saw my antronches surrounding the Golden Saint. It was a proper team effort, in the end I was left standing with my flame antronch and my Clannfear. Anyway, just as I began to charge down the hill, an excellent rock song I've not heard before came on the radio, it felt so great to be killing them to the music.

the most amusing thing to me was taking the guar off the farmer's hands and carrying across the continent trying to find the lady that raises guars. I carried that thing with me everywhere! Have you ever tried getting your pet guar to climb the steps to get on the silt strider?!? I have seen better behaved donkeys. he kept falling off and I would have toi go down and direct him in the right direction. Poor critter. He tried so hard. he would leap in and try to attack every creature with me, no matter strength. I must have killed him 30 times because he was below my line of sight and I was chopping baddies up. Sadly, I lost him in a battle and had not saved for hours. I had to bury him north of ghostgate. of course, it was quite a shock when I talked to the farmer again and he somehow knew I had accidentally killed his poor guar. I just loved running a few miles and standing there watching my own pet guar come running up behind me. sniff, sniff. I miss me guar:-(

the scariest part of the game is when I went into a sixth house cult for the first time. I was like level 10 and I didnt know what was going on. I was like I want some of those red candles for my house. Then an ascended sleeper was right on top of me. I was so scared and so dead before i knew what happened.

not to hog the posts but the scariest thing for me was the very first game in the very first couple of hours. I went wandering away from seyda neen and came upon this quiant looking mine/hobbit hole. i looked left and right and saw no keep out signs. however, when i went in I was attacked! For no reason! I was completely shocked and WHACK WHACK!!! I was almost dead and had yet to even attempt to try to defend myself. Being used to IWD and BG1 & 2, I tried feebly to somehow pause and prepare myself for this epic battle against a first level idot. Instead, the first level idiot chopped me up into bits and taught me to stay in town and get some experience before running around sticking my nose into holes.

The funniest thing that's happened to me probably was when I was duking it out with some other dark elf for a few minutes and all of a sudden, he turned, yelled, "Let me live!", ran across the room, ran into the wall and fell over and died. Twas quite amusing.

I know you've all heard me rant and rant "Gedna Relvel this, Gedna Relvel that", but I would definitely have to say that attempting to fight that lich has been by far the scariest and makes-me-the-angriest part of the game so far. The only reason I'm not too scared to go back to fight him is because VENGEANCE IS MIIIIIIIIIINE!!!
And the funniest part of my game... you know, I really crack up for some reason every time I'm leading someone somewhere and I go through a door, just to find their body combined with mine on the other side. I guess it's just a little too easy to make me laugh, but how can you not when it's like "oh... hello, neighbor." Well, I guess that's not very funny except to me...
Oh, and you know what's funny too? When I was doing "research" in maar gan for this mod, I was talking to a very kind and easy-going Shilipuran Zama-Rasour, who happened to be waist-deep in a flight of stairs at the time. Not that he minded. In fact he seemed happy as a clam, being stuck in those stairs.
As for the best thing that happened to me, in my opinion (and don't worry, this won't spoil anything) it's after I've just defeated Dagoth Ur, and I get my final vision of Azura, and she gives me that excellent little trinket. I think if I were a man at that point, i'd straighten my tie and grin complacently. But as it is, I have no tie... patting myself on the back, however, just doesn't quite work the same...

Just thought this was a good thread. Just thought it should be brought back to the light of day from it's dusty shelf.

The best thing that struck me the most was entering the Cavern of the Incarnate for the first time. The texturing of the cave, the detail of the statue... That omnipotent feeling you get when you know you're supposed to pick up that Moon-And-Star because it's YOURS and nobody else's. That was my favorite part.

That Tarhiel guy is pretty funny, falling from the sky. I was supposed to buy a slowfall on target spell so I could save him and talk to him but I never got around to and today I mistakenly went near him and he fell... and died *sigh*.

The scariest thing is seing a Dreugh swimming on land. I was like what the hell is that red thing and jumped out of my seat. Then I started chasing it because I thought it was special. Then it disappeared

The Scariest thing thats happened to me was on my custom island i made in the CS. Its called Zombie Islande... Basically it adds an island with a load of Corpus Stalkers, i set the view distance as low as possible and run around in the Dark getting attacked by corpus stalkers. Its really creepy to turn around see a Zombie thing about to attack you. Great Fun

Ok the best moment ever... i was arrested because i didnt have any money and i pressded go to jail on accident. So there i am in this fort with 10 or 11 imperial soldiers, and i am PISSED! I waited until a dark, stormy night, put on the great mantle of woe, and a my nifty necromancers amulet, and summoned about 20 or so creatures, no joke. Then I levitated up to a tower as all hell broke loose and rained fireballs on those wrongly incarcerating fools... then i looked down as my minions crowded around the last of the guards and killed him, and lightening flashed, and i rotated the camera around my character in his scaryass equiptment and lightning flashed, and it was very cool.

frightening moment... ok well its 3 in the mornign, raining outside, and i am jumpy enough, but i go into this PITCH BLACK cave and cant see squat with those stupid torches, and i hear all these scary noises and out pops a corprus beast behind me... jumped out of my skull.

The irony of it all!

the stupidest thing that ever happened to me was when i decided to fight hercine's aspect of guile (the ability to outsmart your prey) it was the most ironic thing because he ended up running into a wall and getting sliced to bits by my daedric dai-katana!

guile my ass!

I had the quest from Balmora's Mage Guild to recruit or kill Llarer in Sulipund. I had Advanced Morrowind running, so opponents were a lot harder. I summoned an Ancestral Ghost, hit Llarer a couple of times, and ran downstairs. Then I got to watch Llarer screaming angrily at the Ghost, as they followed, lobbing fire spells at one another. Just so Llarer didn't get the idea to attack me, I ran back up to his study, and rummaged through his hcest of advanced potions while the sounds of battle continued in the background. Finally, I heard Llarer's high-pitched cry. The Ghost was squealing, and the mage was lying, dead. Success! And without a scratch! It was tricky, underhanded, and most pleasureable. .

Oh the scariest moment in Morrowind...maybe that's a bit spoilerish. I ran into that tomb *somewhere* on Vvardenfell. I was level one but as usual to stubborn to stay in an area where low leveled creatures dwelled. Nevertheless I managed to kill all the enemies in that tomb ( skelleton-champions - I managed to whipe them out with some flin, adrenalin rush [ the real one, too!] and much running [ and even more healing-potions]). Oh, was I proud. Level one, but a skeleton-champion-slayer. After looting the finally dead undeads I went to the treasure room. There was a small chest. Without thinking of any consequences I opened it...and runned as hell when two other skeleton-champiens appeared! I jumped out of my seat! I fled like a pig, reaching the exit only with much luck. That was one of the greatest moments I've ever had in Morrowind, because I simply didn't think that something like that could ever happen in that game...
I've never entered that tomb again...

Probably the funniest moment for me was when Tarhiel fell out of the sky. I didn't see him at first, and I just heard this yelling and stuff. I was pretty freaked out, because I didn't see anyone at first. Then I saw his body on the ground, and realized what happened. I had to fall back to a saved game so I could see him fall.

A tad spoilerish...

Funniest: a tie between Tarhiel and the two Telvanni women whose votes you need for Hortator. I was a male character, so when I "puffed out my chest and extolled my manly virtues" one of them tried to gouge my eye out with a spoon, while the other simply babbled on about some sort of container... forever. And ever. And ever.

Scariest was probably the first time I got surprised by a corprus beast from behind. I nearly fell out of my chair. Those things are really creepy-looking the first time around.

ScionOfNerevar · Post by **ScionOfNerevar** » Mon Jul 05, 2004 2:38 pm

Funniest: Tarhiel falling - self explainitory
Scariest: The Quarra Clan in Drucshati - screaming DIE! in a vampire voice, unable to see them well.
Best: After beating Dagoth Ur, I levitated out of the volcano and i stayed still above it, looking down towards Vivec and thinking to myself "I have prospered"

I remember my scariest moment:

First try at the game, I walk around and suddenly hear this screaming and I jump off the path and run behind a tree thinking this must be some kind of freaky killing thing, and when I look on the path I see a body (Tarheil) and thinking that there must be some kind of freaky thing on the loose but I go up to the body anyway and read the Journel and find the scrolls so I figured what happened

Most annying: I started a new game and spent all day on it and grew to lvl. 34! And I was on low health and was killed by a Kwama Forager that I didn't notice, but I didn't mind and thought that I would just load my game, but......... I haven't saved yet ALL DAY!

My funniest moment was when I had gotten a bounty for something and was on my way to the thiefs guild to remove it. On the way I walk past a Bosmer who said something like:

"Criminals should be punished harshly, don't you think?"

But right next to her there was a Dumner who imidiatly(sp) said:

"No I don't think so!"

It was hilarious, thinking I had found a friend in such a hostile place

It autosaves when you rest, ergo, when you levelled up to 34, your saved game would be there, try loading that one.
