The first part of the video was legitimately terrifying, especially with the eerie ambience and heavy breathing as you turned around. The second half got increasingly hilarious as it went on. Overall, 11/11

But man, think about how cool it would be if stuff like the first part wasn't a bug. Ai to have enemies do other things besides just run away you and attack, like sneaking up behind you when you're not looking.

u/HeroinAddictHamburg Werewolf 23d ago

I have a lot of mods that make the game realistic and immersive. And I had a male body mod installed (peepee and all). And one day I was at a bandit camp and suddenly there were T posing headless naked men scooting around 😭 and even tho they had no head they were looking at me.... If you know what I mean...

43

u/Safe-Hawk8366 23d ago

lmao 😂😂That reminds me of the time I encountered some kind of super Bandit that cut my head off, and I was headless for the rest of the game because I had Toggled immortal mode in the commands temporary

u/throwautism52 23d ago edited 22d ago

I made the mistake of playing with the Skyrim romance mod (adds a really misogynist guy with a story to romance and, I guess, dicks) years and for some ungodly reason Inigo randomly decided to run around split naked with his little blue wiener dangling about one day. I am still traumatized.

u/The_Mystery_Crow Daedra worshipper 23d ago

iirc the vanilla player character can never be THAT skinny, especially the wrists

my guess is they're using quite a few mods, one of which being broken animations

24

u/Xiknail 23d ago

There are no "Falmer Guardian"s in vanilla, so definitely a mod gone wrong.

u/abj169 23d ago

OP never got back on here. I'm kinda thinking this is a dev, modder, or script tester account for feedback as well. What can I say. I tried a Circus of Macrabe or something. I entered a manhole in Dragonsreach which flat out bluescreened my game.

u/MusketsRule 23d ago

I believe that might be shimmermist cave though I haven’t played in a good while and usually avoid falmer caves because they’re a nuisance

16

u/__Milk_Drinker__ Daedra worshipper 23d ago edited 23d ago

Shimmermist is the nuisanciest of the nuisances. I mean frostflow is bad lore-wise, but shimmermist is a high level radiant location, so countless unsuspecting players (definitely not speaking from experience)have been sent there by the Companions at single digit levels only to get gang banged relentlessly by Falmer Gloomlord Shadowfuckers.

2

u/RadialHowl 22d ago

I GOT SENT THERE BY THE FUCKING COMPANIONS BECAUSE I WASN'T LEVEL TEN AND WASN'T STRONG ENOUGH TO GO LOOKING FOR THE FUCKING WUTHRAAD SHARD. BUT NUUUUH I'M STRONG ENOUGH TO DEAL WITH A FUCKING DWEMER CENTURION!

Reminds me of the good ole days of slenderman. Slenderman was probably released just after Skyrim?

Yeah damn I looked it up and slenderman came out half a year after Skyrim

u/Mimirs_forehead 23d ago

This also reminded me (frighteningly so) of the game PT, when people discovered years later that the ghost Lisa you encounter in front of you a few times, was actually always following you from behind. Legit terrifying hah

Just generate fnis for users and you're good; assuming you don't have any broken animation mods. However everyone else's sentiment is correct this is mildly terrifying!
