Well nothing is more funny than a single bandit mugging you with a dagger when you are a well known Dragonborn and slain hundred of powerful dragon and able to clear a bandit camp easily
I once had Dark Brotherhood assassins sent after me in one of my games They legit did a good job at sneaking on me... until one of them cleared his throat before attacking me
@@SkyrimExplorer you get it when you wear the nightingale armour Edit: to clarify, you get it at the usual theif encounter when you wear the nightingale armour, but if you dont, it will play out like normal
Wabbajack is a play on the word Jabberwocky. Mad woman= mad hatter. She turns into a rabbit, which you are inclined to chase. .. just like Alice did. And it all starts with a tea party at a table where you sent on a mission that makes little to no sense throughout containing several more references to Alice in Wonderland.
3:09 - Oh, I love Deep-In-His-Cups. On my first playthrough, that encounter glitched, so the game never registered that I'd had the encounter, meaning that he kept coming back every few days to give me a new hat, tell the same story, and ask for money again. It happened so many times that I made up a headcanon that he's fully aware I've already given him the money, but he knows I'm just going to keep giving it to him, so every time he runs low on money he buys a hat in a store, and then proceeds to track me down and do a speech he's rehearsed several times.
@@nightfurynick998you wanna know what's fuckin great? HAVING TO DELETE YOUR WORLD BECAUSE MERCER FREY DIDN'T APPEAR IN THE QUEST BLINDSIDED AND THERES NO FIX FOR CONSOLE. I need somewhere to vent that.
I RP as a hat-obsessed mercenary for hire (TF2 merc) so when he actually handed me the bandit boss' hat, I was elated and gladly forked over 10K gold. I threw it into the dresser with my huge hat collection. Also there's not much I know of yet to actually dump the hundreds of thousands of gold I have into besides bribing guards 10K to overlook my 20 gold bounty, and other goofy things like that.
If i ever make my skyrim story, that argonian WILL be included. Probably require to see the evidence or where he went, but it would definitely end with him getting paid. To me at least, it feels like he truly did it. Wouldn't feel fair he fully believed a more than normally drunk that probably otherwise NEVER drank, but damn if he didn't deserve something for such an act! (Note, i haven't done the quest in eons. I do not remember if you do receive evidence or whatnot. I WILL find out before anyone could reply anyways)
M'aiq is a rare encounter? I met that guy on my way to the College of Winterhold. I had Lydia with me. I wanted to admire the view from a cliff and stupid Lydia pushed me off the cliff. I thought the fall would kill me, yet it didn't. I had like 10% hp left. Then I saw M'aiq and I thought he would be hostile and kill me, yet he didn't. Moral of the story? Don't bring Lydia with you.
How is M'aiq rare? I run into the dude like 50 times a playthrough. Sometimes with bandits and assassins close by . . . . . . does give me concern about M'aiq . . .
If Mr. Deep really did sneak into a bandit compound and steal the bandit chief's hat, my code of honor will have to force me to pay him the 10k I promised. What an absolute Mad Lad.
The best random encounters for me are the random fights that happen in the wilderness of Skyrim. Like this one time, I was walking along in Whiterun hold, when I spotted a couple werewolves. I followed them to find them join a battle between bandits, a giant and some necromancers. I joined the fight. And so did a dragon.
I've been playing Skyrim for years. Thousands, literally thousands of hours logged with probably 500 to 700 hours spent as Listener... I've never gotten the Babette encounter
@@robertoaltuve4145 Not if he only travels at day °L° Getting dark? Wait for 10 hours and you skipped the possibility to see her, even without fast travel.
I've wanted to make a mod relating to it!! Like a merchant named Nate selling books voiced and written with his videos' content inside. Or something like that!
There will be an encouter of a khajiit pair. One is Ma'iq the Liar, other Na'it the Honest or something. Ma'iq will tell player his wild stories and Na'it says the province is a huge place and he hopes Ma'iq doesn't murder him to death.
I met the two "nobles" within the first 5 minutes of my playthrough, (I had a alternate start mod) and after talking to them, was able to watch as they immediately attacked a nearby horker while their guard ran. Skyrim truly is a magical monstrosity.
I always find them walking in the opposite direction to Solitude Litterally just down the road, you could see it if you jumped, and they turned west into the mountains
The random encounter that has stuck with me the most was when I saw the headless horseman by dawnstar where I proceeded to chase him halfway across the map vertically on foot, through mountains and using way too many stamina potions. Only for him to disappear when he got to the grave area thingy
About that flying wizard from Morrowind: "Tarhiel's screams as he falls are actually spoken by the player, rather than Tarhiel - this is done presumably to enable you to hear them". - UESP Plus, you can actually save Tarhiel by casting Slowfall on him. If he survives, he'll just greet you with "I don't want to talk about it".
Mahh, I had gotten to Skyrim in 2012. I was like 7 at the time and I loved to play games on my dad's computer. I didn't really know how to get to High Hrothgar and I remember scaling the mountain many, many times with a horse looking for the greybeards. I eventually ditched it but I recently got back into via the Xbox version. It's a shame I didn't buy the Pc version, though...
I remember after I got the wabbajack I found it so hilarious that I was just using it on literally everything. So I was doing the last of the companions' quest where you free Kodlak from the curse. And of course I was messing around with the wabbajack turning the ghosts into chickens and stuff. And it was all fun and games until I somehow turned one of the ghosts into an immortal daedra... So it was me, two dremora lords I conjured, Farkas and Aela all five of us hitting that thing and we couldn't even put a dent in his healthbar. After 10 minutes of uselessly attacking him I left to finish the quest. As I was on my way to turn in the quest in Whiterun the courier stopped me to give me my inheritance from Farkas and Aela... I never used the wabbajack again...
The guy who tries to fly and dies... You can save him if you hit him with paralysis magic before he hits the ground. (Slow time shout helps) He'll just bounce instead of smaking into the ground. You can even talk to him afterwards
This right here is what I love about Skyrim videos. There is always someone in the comments with a random tidbit about another you can do/try and it's so stinking fun. Thanks for the info!
nutter butter975 At this point it’s my least favorite quest in the game because the dog hunts you down within that region and forces a quest on you. It’s as bad if not worse then Meridia’s Beacon.
a thief approached me once when i was going to narzulbur and gave me fire boots idk something like that he said for me to keep them hidden and i killed him lol and then another guy came up and asked for the boots and i gave them to him and he paid me *and then i killed him*
The craziest encounter I've had is before joining the dark brother hood, you can find Cicero carrying the night mother across the land. He breaks a wheel on his cart and a side quest is to fix the wheel for him.
@@lesewing ooooh, that makes sense, I was wondering cuz I always make a point of coming to Cicero's quest before joining the brotherhood, I love him lmao
I was once met outside a tavern by a traveler whom clamed to want to challenge me in a duel. Feeling confident in my abilities i accepted his challenge by selecting, "It's your funeral" Before i could finish pulling out my sword, i was lanched into the air by a massive fire attack. I don't remember his name. I don't remember where. But i do remembert the ass whooping i got tht day. After reloading my save, walking out of the tavern, he was nowhere to be found.
That just happened to me for thie first time about an hour ago and ive put probably 6 or 7 hundred hours into skyrim lol i fast traveled to whiterun, instantly challenged, then fus'd him into the main gate and serana drank his blood. Oh, and one of the redguard warriors inadvertantly got disintegrated so i had to pay for that....
Fun fact: flight was an actual spell in the elder scrolls universe, it was just banned by the faithless Imperials, so the person in Morrowind was probably trying to master it but failed
similarily levitation a spell from morrowind was said to be banned for use outsde of the province, although this is mainly just the games in universe excuse for excluding the spell in later games as having it could potentially break tons of gameplay mechanics and stuff if you could simply just levitate yourself over a wall
funny thing about the mage of flight from morrowind is that if your speed is high enough, you can infact catch up with him right before he hits the ground. But all he has to say is "I don't want to talk about it."
Elder Scrolls VI will also remain relevant for many years. In 2031 people will still wonder if Elder Scrolls VI is just around the corner. It's a game that will remain relevant for decades despite no release and only one lousy teaser, plus ambiguous press statements of Todd Howard saying and promising pretty much nothing.
@@urbeingsuperlame The courier stopped me in the middle of a dragon fight when I had _no potions left._ That bastard didn't even die after my THIRD retry on the dragon!
oml one time I found these two werewolves and they killed me lol i died and had to go back to the same place so I did and found two kids in the same place the werewolves were nd the kids tried to sell me stuff. lol maybe the kids were the werewolves
I have only encountered wild werewolves once in my entire gameplay. It was in a snowy place, I was riding Shadowmere and two werewolves came outta nowhere and attacked me. Never saw an encounter like that again, so Idk if kids can be werewolves, but I wouldn't doubt it as they have a child vampire in the game already😋
@@marswallace958 You always find one, left of Riften near the imperial camp and dragon hideout once a playthrough. You can get the soldiers to help you out if you're low level.
I’m not sure he has done this but there’s a random encounter of a Student walking up to the player in a hold (mine was Whiterun) wanting to join the College of Winterhold and asks if you can pull out a ward so he can test a few spells on you after a bit he will thank you for your help I’m not sure why but I have all the ward spells.. so maybe that..?
@@leliagloneaux826 the friendliest and the nastiest piece of work of all the daedric princes lust is his game anything goes with him and i mean anything.
I still remember my first random encounter, I was on the road to Winterhold (idk how I got that far but I just really like the name). A female orc skooma dealer tried to sell me skooma, I was afraid of her muscles and teeth so told her that I didn't want any. she thought that i was going to tell the guards that she's a dealer (wtf we are in the middle of a empty forest), I run, she chases me, I run into a cave full of spiders, so I turn around and all I see is the female orc and her giant hammer on my face, I die, then the spider fights the orc, the spider wins and walks in circles on top of my corpse........what is this wonderful Game?
The same thing happened to me, only it was on a bridge near whiterun, and it was a male khajit. I just started and didn't even kill a dragon yet, and I had a mace and shield against.....his fists. and the thing was that I actually DIED TO A GUY WITH FISTS. he had a ton of health ok XD
@@TropicanWars that's not surprising, unarmed kajiit are absolutely broken early in the game because of their unarmed damage boosts which puts their damage to 22, which doesn't sound like much until you realize that an unarmed kajiit has the same base damage as a dragonbone mace, which is the strongest one handed weapon in the game, with the added benefit of unarmed attacks also being faster than maces, this makes an unarmed kajiit extrermely difficult to deal with early on, they become managable once your smithing skill and weapon perks become high enough to surpass their damage output, but even then you still have to consider that unarmed attacks are stupid fast.
there's a second random encounter with the vampire kid. I don't remember where or at what time except that it's in the daytime and it was on my first playthrough (2-3 years ago). And I just got on my 2nd a couple days ago. She's not feeding on people, she's somewhere in the woods surrounded by spiders. I forget what she says but it's basically the same line as in this video. I think she's just taking them out for a stroll or catching new ones or whatever. Also, fun observation, she's clearly based off of Claudia from Interview With A Vampire. But I find Claudia to be way more fascinating of a character. Skyrim's vampire child... I feel like they could have done more with her. She's just a side character that's just "I'm evil! Boo!"
When that first happened to me in morrowind I didn’t see it happen, I was just walking along and then suddenly there was a loud, god awful scream blasting out of my speakers. Scared the shit outta me lol
huh, my first D&D character was called Evendur. He was hated by all he met, besides an ogre who was perhaps too friendly. Alas the friendship had no time to blossom because Evendur inadvertently started a goblin gang war and was fatally blasted in the spine "accidentally" by the party's warlock during the chaos.
My strangest encounter in Skyrim; I was in a middle of battling a dragon priest at Shearpoint by Windhelm and a fugitive interrupted me asking to hide him than he saw the creepy ghost & bolted, an imperial soldier who was pursuing the thief interrupted the fight next asking me where the thief was the dragon priest blasts him with a fireball, like enough with interruptions let's continue the fight already? Hilarious actually! 🤣
Thank you! I was hoping that I wasn't the only one that caught that. Makes me think Nate just uses mods and never actually bought houses the legit way.
"More than any of the houses in Skyrim are worth..." *Buys Solitude house* Welp. 25,000 for the house. Couple thousand to clean it up and furnish it. 30,000 at most I just spent.
Daevectus RIGHT?! The “free house” glitch was something I’d exploit on all my characters. I think you can do it with the furnishings as well, but I can’t remember for the life of me - haven’t played Skyrim in ages.
I’ve been playing Skyrim for like 7 years; and I never knew about the Babette encounter until yesterday when I stumbled upon her. After that, I saw her 2 more times purely by chance and my favorite, the Headless Horseman. Crazy day for encounters
I once ran into a merry band of men proclaiming how glorious a day it was. I talked to one of them and he offered me mead, of which I partook. They wandered off in the direction I had come while I went the way they came from. Maybe 10 seconds later I heard roars and screaming. I ran back to find all of the merry men dead with a saber tooth standing over them. I killed the big cat and lifted the men for an awful lot of mead. I have no idea if those were 2 separate events that just happened at the same to to hilarious effect, or if it was all the same thing. Either way, I haven’t forgotten what happened because of just how funny it was.
Thats 2 random encounters, usually the Revellers give you mead. There’s one speech option thats something along the lines of “what, just one bottle? How about another?” The guy loves your attitude so much that He gifts you an Enchanted Amulet. 😃 Be careful, if you offer him the ‘wrong’ mead, he gets hella pissed.
If you choose to share TWO bottles of Honningbrew Mead he'll gift you the Charmed Necklace(Carry Weight +25). If you offer Blackbrier Mead instead he gets pissed. After you get the Charmed Necklace the merry makers will usually walk to the closest farm and hang out there for the rest of the game.
He is always by a crypt close to Whiterun. When you do the companion story you have to go with Farkas (I think) and go to a ruin for a shield brother mission. The Headless Horseman is always by there. Maybe just at night but I think I saw him during the day once. It might be different with everyone but everytime I start a new playthrough he is there. I even searched him up and he is there.
I found the Mad Woman in one of my Skyrim playthroughs, but she said absolutely nothing about Wabbajack. Instead she seemed terrified of something and begged me to help her, but before I could even say anything a band of people ran up and killed her, then started attacking me. I killed them and searched all the bodies, finding nothing that would make sense of what just happened.
Drinks hundreds of bottles of mead for extra stamina. Passes out after 3 cups at a bar. P.S. wonder if you can Fus-Roh-Da the wood elf into the water and save him.
I once saved an NPC from a trap he is programed to die in. It took a lot of tries and countless quickloads until I finally saved them, but then they kept running inno the wall with no options for interactions. Its probably the same with this guy.
Imgur is the program that I would use, although filedropper may work too and be easier. But I'm confused, is the body that spawns next to Babette random?
Nah bro I gave Deep-In-The-Cups 10k septums every time I played, cause dead ass him sneaking into a bandit camp to steal a hat is dedication for the money but risked his life big time and he earned it.
He does turn into sanguine in front of you tho right before rewarding you with his rose. I don't blame you tho, playing Skyrim since it came out in 2011 and Nate still manages to find shit I had no idea about. Like that Babette random encounter.
Guys I think he/she ment that the actual name “Sam Guevenne” sounds like Sanguine, and not that the character is Sanguine, which, as you already explained, is revealed to us in the quest itself.. Correct me if I’m wrong tho
@@unknownuser8315 At least one of the Shin Magami Tensei games has a character named "Louis Cypher". Take a guess what his real name is? :P That's why the "Sam Guevenne" moniker didn't fool me. I knew who he really was right away. :P
@@AstarionWifey Yes, but she's also probably in charge of organizing the coin and gathering supplies for the sanctuary. You know, alchemical ingredients, food, enchanting supplies, anything useful, you know
I don't play Skyrim or fallout, but since fallout's downfall, I discovered this channel lmao I just like the way this guy is making his videos. Well played youtuber guy, well played.
Fallout's downfall? Don't know what you're talking about. The most recent game, Fallout 4, is pretty good. I say again: The. Most. Recent. Game. Is. Fallout. Four.
The one time I ran into Babette on the road, my first thought was "Aww, that poor little girl's mother must have been killed" (as she was bent over a female corpse at the time), and then "Hey, that's Babette! ...oooooh."
The madwoman can be found before you even start the daedric quest for sheogorath. She can randomly come across and she will follow u for a bit to tell you not to listen to the guy in solitude who asks you to find his master: Sheogorath. This has only ever happened to me once
Deep-In-His-Cups caught me in the middle of a dragon fight once... on legendary mode and of course i was unable to run away from it. we met again later and despite being good for the money, welp, there was no forgiveness then.(i failed an intimidation, lol, had to kill him)
4:50 I like to imagine he used the last scroll to try it. Basically, in Morrowind, as pointed out, there is that mage, with 3 scrolls. If you used on, it sent you into the air, but it ran out before you landed, meaning you died. But if you used one to jump, then use another as you fall, you take no falling damage, leaving 1 scroll left which seeing as you are just starting out, maybe you try to sell for some easy gold, and in some way, that guy found it, or copied it, used it, and that is the outcome.
The flying wizard is also referenced in a random encounter in Elder scrolls Online. There you encounter a wondering wizard who for a small fee allow you to fly straight up for a couple of hundred feet. He leaves how you survive falling from such a height and the resulting high speed impact with the ground up to you.
that's a unique interaction in Oblivion. bethesda didn't think anyone would actually try to use the wabbajack on Dagon so they didn't bother giving him immunity to it. the game doesn't know what to do when you use it on him so he just melts
One of my favourite random ones is when I was just wandering through a village two kids came over and played tag with me, it turned into a mini quest but then I checked the quest log and it wasn’t there, it was very unexpected and just nice to have a break from all of the main stresses of Skyrim to just play tag in a small village
I got the one with the wizard flying and I died (of laughter) I heard someone talking and moved closer then a man flew in the air and crashed down and I cried
6:15 I thought it prudent to note, that you actually could save the Bosmer in Morrowind if you got yourself a targeted "slow fall" spell first, and cast it as the Bosmer fell. Too bad that, and Levitate were removed by Bethesda following that installment. If you had a powerful enough version of Levitate, you could actually "fly" quite fast. I think perhaps Supergirl herself would be proud of it. Now you didn't get anything special for saving him, he was just kinda "stupid" afterwards.
Maybe u completed the dlc before going to high hrothgar. When I finished learning the shouts from the greybeards, I fast traveled to whiterun then the cultists are there then they fcking attacked me
I married Torvar.... And turned him into a dremora.... And then a chicken... Then a dremora again... And finally, a sweet roll.... I was then arrested for murder and assault... 😅
I remember the encounter with the 2 nobels and the bodyguard. After the encounter and checked my map I realized they were going the exact opposite way towards solitude. They were heading towards near Riften
Right? Ten thousand can a be a whole lot at first, but after level thirty it becomes pocket change. Heck, I can make 1000 gold in one day by chopping wood for 12 hours and selling it.
I played through the entirety of skyrim without realizing there was fast travel which means, among other things, I always climbed the whole mountain to the greybeards I don't regret it tho It really felt like a journey that way
@@Jester_Jean I didn't realize there was fast travel in the beginning of my first play through until like halfway into the game, going everywhere on foot was pretty fun!
They can appear in The Reach, which extends to just west of Rorikstead. They'll attempt to sell you the location of Deep Folk Crossing, IIRC. Though you can threaten to spank them instead for the same info.
My favorite encounters in Skyrim are wild dogs, Peyrite’s inflicted, and random adventurers asking for help, like ones infected with vampirism or those who are asking for directions. These happen a lot to me but no one really talks about them, weirdly.
Actually I just ran into one of Peyrite's afflicted on my current playthrough. On the road from Morthal on my way to Ustengrav to retrieve the horn of Jurgen Windcaller.
something Nate forgot to mention: the couple heading to Solitude for Victoria's wedding will have a unique item on them that can't be obtained at any other time in the game without console commands. it's not useful, but it collectors might want it..
8:32 Interesting thing about that encounter - there are two versions of it, and I have encountered both. The one more well known version is the one shown in the video, whilst the other version might happen before you've done it, in which case instead of asking to be Wabbajacked, the Mad Women would be slightly more mad but also terrified, rambling fearfully that Sheogorath has been away from his realm for too long and that she (and the rest of his worshipers) need him back before things fall apart completely, and that someone needs to bring him back. As an extra something to take note of; I got both encounters in the same play through, which was neat.
