Today on my new character (he's a new build, so that's a thing) I was on a mountain northwest of Windhelm, just exploring, I suddenly came across a Mudcrab walking along the road. Not following me, and no water source anywhere nearby, just walking very purposefully along the way to Dawnstar.
I had a werewolf random encounter that I hadn't had before recently. It was a farmer, standing over his dead wife, saying "Oh gods, what have I done?", and then transformed and attacked me. I took a look at the dead wife after fighting, and I'm almost positive it was the same farmer/wife that you often encounter that say "Be warned, traveler- there are dragons about" (or something like that) that you give 5 gold to.
So I was starting out a new character, and sided with Ralof and the Stormcloaks (sounds like a rockabilly band lol), anyway I get to the part where Gerdur is telling her son to watch for Imperial soldiers, and an Imperial Courier just appears behind her, he just stands there and stares at me for a second, then takes off across the bridge... I was like "Shit! we've got a spy!", so I pulled out my mace and started chasing him. But those f#$kers are fast!, by the time I got around Alvor's house, he was gone! not a trace...F#%king Imps have ninjas working for them... lol
lol, so this isn't really that odd, but I found it very entertaining. I was in Ivarstead and had just rented a room at the inn for the night. I slept for 12 hours, and when I woke up Temba Wide-Arms is walking out of my room. I was like wtf! but then she turns around and says (quite suggestively) "Friends like you are hard to come by, and very valuable to me" lol my character is doing things when I'm not looking!
I was just at the point in the companion questline when there is a little ceremony to welcome you, and Farkas wasn't there yet! So Kodlak was like: 'Would you raise your shield in his defence?' and no one answered, a bit like dora the explorer. Finally Farkas came running in and he was like 'Am i too late?'
So I was on the "Prophet" quest for the dawnguard, and Serana was following me. Anyway I walk up to Dragon's bridge and ask the first guy I see if he's seen a moth priest. While I'm talking to hi, Serana walks over to a nearby building picks up a broom and starts sweeping the walkway. She did this the whole time I talked to the guy, then when I finish she walks over and starts chopping wood at a chopping block. I know NPC's are scripted to work, but not while they're traveling with you, I guess she just got bored.lol
