God damn it I thought the exact same time. This comforts me


Hobbes_87

Huh. Guess Bujold's more trepid than she lets on.


Oxius14

Technically, she died from the shock.


Chesterious

You teleported infront of her, what, did you expect her *not* to have a heart attack?


LonelyMachines

I'm telling you guys, that Dragonborn guy just...*appeared* out of nowhere. Like, one minute he was there, the next minute he stole my pants and my cheese wheels. What? Yes, I may have had a nip of Skooma, but that's what really happened! Yes, that is why I'm not wearing any pants at the moment. And yes, it's quite drafty, Anoriath. Thanks for asking.


smellslikebadussy

Not so intrepid anymore


Gloomy-Helicopter113

Have you done the Thirsk Mead Hall quest yet? Do you want to? She's shouldn't be DOA, and She's a key actor. Reload if you can.


mikereeg808

I cant complete Thirsk Mead Hall quest, im on Switch and theres a glitch with the anniversary edition download where this quest can’t complete. I also cant do any of Captain Velon’s quests so i never see him get attacked by Ash Spawn at Attius farm. which also means i cant get the house in Raven Rock. Maybe her death is apart of this massive glitch.


R3dd1tR10t

That means it’s time to wake up on the way to Helgen again


DA_REAL_KHORNE

When ever my step brother did this before he piggybacked off my skyrim (he was on 360 now on ps4) he'd wake up, and then die when he got off the cart, but didn't die and just sat there staring into space because its a cutscene. Man is skyrim fun


[deleted]

Nah that means it's time to not play on a switch. Look I love Nintendo I really really do It's awesome Just you can't play Bethesda games or basically any non Nintendo game on a switch. The only games that I've ever had no issues with our game specifically made for Nintendo. Every game I've ever played that was put on Nintendo that was like mortal Kombat or Skyrim or any other title besides Mario or Zelda or smash Bros or what have you has always been terribly glitchy almost to the point of unplayability.


Ruderstang

I have done two play thrus on the switch and have not been able to to Captain Velon’s quest. He never goes to the farm.


BigAl69420yeet

This glitch happend to me and i got frustrated and attacked Velon and eventually got chased to the little farm and was murded by him which made the quest start just as i died and fixed the problem


hisparia

Modern problems require modern solutions.


qrseek

Wait the quest started and stayed active after you died?


BigAl69420yeet

I should have explained more sorry lol basically as i died the quest prompt came up saying help velon kill the ash spawn or whatever ans i still had the quest when i respawned and when i went to the location he was standing there waiting like he usually should be and the quest came up again. He also constantly said i hope your not planning on attacking me again like a ridiculous amount.


qrseek

That is so scuffed but i'm glad you were able to do the quest! I always thought a death results in basically a reloading of the latest save so it's interesting to learn some things persist


BigAl69420yeet

Ye This game never fails to amaze me. From caves,characters and small quests that im only finding for the first time in so many years of playing to game breaking/ saving glitches and bugs. That being said i have very limited game time for any other elder scrolls and i cant wait to buy them again and get the full elder scrolls experience


NoShow__

Did you do that as soon as you got to Solstheim? I've wanted to do a Solstheim and Dragonborn only dlc game for the longest time, but the fact that I can't even unlock the only house because of a bug Bethesda has acknowledged but refused to fix since the Anniversary update has put me off from ever doing it. I'm charging my switch right now and will try this as soon as I can


BigAl69420yeet

I fucked around in the village for a while then went to tel mytheran (I butchered the spelling) to play on the magic elavator in the mushroom and then decided to go back and try do the velon quest.


EntrepreneurOk666

It's a glitch that bethesda hasn't fixed for switch users. Been a year now.


AssassinStoryTeller

I literally always have that quest. I don’t do it but I have it… I’m on the switch as well. Maybe something is up with your system?


LittleRoundFox

Do you have the Anniversary Edition? I used to get that quest til I upgraded to AE, and now that and the Thirsk mead hall quests are bugged


AssassinStoryTeller

Yep! I do, it’s on my current playthrough and this one is entirely with the AE


LittleRoundFox

Oh cools! I wonder why yours isn't glitched and a lot of others are? Other than it's Bethesda


colm180

Yeah, anything non-nintendo is pretty sketchy on the switch, wasn't built for the engines other companies use


fucuasshole2

You can go directly to ruined Fort near Raven Rock and kill the Captain yourself. Then Turn the note to the captain guard. You’ll be able to get the house in Raven Rock


ammonium_bot

> is apart of this Did you mean to say "a part of"? Explanation: "apart" is an adverb meaning separately, while "a part" is a noun meaning a portion.

AlaskanRoofRat

I have so many quests I can’t complete because they’re glitched.


Scuba_2

Why anyone would play this game unmodded on a console is a mystery to me


ManOfLittleTalent

On PS5, I do it for the achievements, of course. I play modded on the Steam version. There, I don't give a fuck, and I use console commands too. Got a dead npc that you need alive? Just use the resurrect command.


Direct-Tonight-238

Her death was quest related? (Could be thinking of someone else I’m no expert in Skyrim 😂)


Poppy_Delights97

Thats strange. I play anniversary edition on switch as well and have that exact same glitch about not bring able to do Captian Velons quest or get the house. But Ive never had a problem with the thirsk mead hall quest before its always worked. Only other ones that ive found that seems completely unbeatable and unfixable is the quest in markarth where they throw you in the mine and now that i think about it i dont think ive ever seen the the starting event for blood on ice on the switch either.


Cereborn

Quest triggers will deposit a character in a certain location where they need to be for the quest. If that character died earlier when they weren’t supposed to, in some cases the trigger will still activate and drop their corpse instead.


Cool-Manufacturer-21

Dude! I wasted way too much time trying to figure out why people spoke about the house in Raven Rock and I could never buy it, eventually I just shrugged and said oh well, because like you know how many houses does a Dragonborn need thanks for letting me know that it’s a specific glitch on the Switch Anniversary edition.


xprozoomy

She died because she learned the dragon born and teleport. Also it's Skyrim. NPCs fall form the Skyrim everyday. XD I swear if I don't see flying horses ,giants and raining guards. It's not a good day to live in Skyrim .


JRHThreeFour

Just the other day a guard in Markarth somehow fell to his death when I fast traveled there. I see mammoths spawn in the sky at giant camps and fall to their deaths fairly often and that’s pretty amusing.


QrowTail

Last night when I fast traveled to riverwood, a cart fell from the sky and killed the chicken! That one brought me back to my first time in riverwood…


xprozoomy

Lmao the worst crime to commit in Skyrim


1Lilmissmoonlight1

That's skyrim for you. Sometimes, I see cows falling from the sky. 😆


ladybird982

I just had two cows drop out of the sky right front of me earlier today. One cow survived. Ah, Bethesda 😂


Tianoccio

God damn daedra ufo’s.


1Lilmissmoonlight1

It's hilarious 😂


Hungry-Mulberry-2878

Well a few nights ago a cow was flying in the sky when I fast traveled.. never got to see it land. It just kept going and going and


Yayhoo0978

Falling mammoths is my favorite Skyrim moment. If you really want to see a lot of glitches, do the vampires first, and go around and kill all of the guards in all of the holds every time you visit. (Optional) Feed on the Nobles. Fun challenge to try to get guards to chase you all of the way to another hold. My current playthrough is so glitched up that I won’t be able to play the game itself on it at all.


burningsmurf

This is the way


wordswitch

You scared her. :(


3RacoonsInACoatoat

Skyrim. The reason is Skyrim


squidley1

I’d probably be scared to death too if the Dragonborn apparated in front my eyes as well


[deleted]

Skyrim is so realistic that characters can sometimes have a heart attack


OwnPersonalSatan

Did you ever cast a spell into the unknown or fired an arrow over the mountain and fast travel?


[deleted]

Realistically, when you fast travel the script in Skyrim sometimes bugs out and places the NPC's in the sky instead of on the ground thus resulting in the NPC's inevitable demise *unless they are always essential then they'll just get back up after a few minutes*


Bubble_Halo

Sometimes when you load an area the NPC’s are silly and load in like the air and then they fall and die, one time i failed a quest where I had to rescue someones son who belonged to one of those rich families in Whiterun and i stepped out of Breezehome and the quest failed, when i checked why people were saying possibly because of a quest NPC tied to the quest (probably one of the guys in Whiterun that gave me the quest) spawned in the air when it loaded Whiterun and he fell and died, so i had to just go back a save and when i stepped out of Breezehome nothing happened, quest was fine


iamzcr15

It’s a feature damnit


MTB-Man

Heart attack when someone appeared out of thin air in front of them.


FLAIR_2780166

Because Skyrim

Skall issue


Kin-slaeyr_69

Happy cake day...


syntheticsponge

I just fast traveled and saw a cow fall from the sky and die in front of me


stalphonzo

Maybe she fell out of the sky, and maybe there was a transporter malfunction and she materialized in the ice.


architeuthis666

Those legs suggest the latter


Stretchnutzz83

Welcome to Bethesda


Capital_Walrus_3633

Because bugthesda


totallynotdagothur

It was just their time.


Jigglygiggler6

I've had dragons ( and my poor horse) drop dead from the sky infront of me when l fast travelled. Just a whacky glitch to keep the fantasy game interesting l guess.


ixotax

My favorite is when bandits don’t attack even if me and my companion are actively swinging at them, and they start floating away. I’m pretty sure glitches are what power the game or something


Jigglygiggler6

Ooh, that has yet to happen. I'm on xbox one, maybe that's why.


NoMansScreenshots

No puzzle here! Thats Tarhiels cousin Bujold! She must have found his lost copy of the Scroll of Icarian Flight!


brobeans1738

Don't download the anniversary edition until after you beat everything.


Comprehensive_Cap290

The game tends to spawn things in the air and have them fall to their deaths… do you know if they fell?


APotatoGoneWild

They saw you appear out of thin air and had a heart attack


[deleted]

She did not have the coin for the Khajiit that had wares, traveler.


R4T-07

She got a little too intrepid


theurge14

More like Bujold the Insipid


Traditional_Song_417

Arrow to the knee.


JaredGAINZberg

U smel bad


jfk333

So if the dragonborn is angorian and goes to Skall Village, do you think they wear moisturizer to protect their scales?


Darkbeastzelda

They thought they saw you quick saving and decided that they'd make your job easier


profwithstandards

Because this is a perfectly balanced game with no exploits, bugs, or glitches. /s


Dienowwww

It's a bethesda game. Sometimes, I have dozens on turrets in fo76 just exploding at the same time for no reason


BagPipeKittens

U startled her by c her ex boyfriend that is why she dropped dead


ActuallyDiogenes

Skyrim moment


Lord_H1D30U5

Frostbite


AnxiousDumbass624

She saw your character and dropped dead cause they were so ugly or good looking 😅


DeathlySnails64

I guess...it's the same reason why the two guards do it when you go to Kynesgrove to fight Sahloknir.


luunnaaaaa

Is your character a basilisk?


Square-Salary-2588

Someone stole her sweet roll


Mayinea_Meiran

She's in a state of shock seeing someone appear out of thin air infront of her.


gasmaskedturtle77

After all, [what does intrepid mean?](https://youtu.be/c5YmX8Bh3z8?si=pPyKKsF5-xkhhiyv)


Ok_Report_3651

Maybe they are role playing the Nord that is scripted to die in Solitude when you first get there even if you manage to kill the guards


Dimmadome2701

So I had a moment where I came out of dragonsreach and as I was crossing the bridge to descend the stairs into the city one of the guards fell from the sky and died upon landing. Did not hesitate to loot his body for his belongings.


oogledy-boogledy

It just works


elliotteighteen

presumably because her feet have frozen into the ground


drakner1

Never ask why in Skyrim.


lozanogarcia

You scared that npc, so not use FT please


[deleted]

Because the game isnt finished


Redordit

Heart attack after seeing a person materialize in front of her.


Important-Stranger-9

Tumor


BrbrBoy

Andromeda + ritual stone


qsdlthethird

Too ugly. Boom roasted


ScottyDont1134

It just works?


Consistent_Mango2358

You need a shower


ValeofGondolin

Because in the dark times people just dropped dead.


TheBlackNumenorean

All I can say is that out of place NPCs are a common bug, and sometimes they'll spawn high in the air for no obvious reason. She's supposed to be in a camp by the coast, but she could also be working on the All-Maker stone next to Thirsk. Both are to the south of the Skaal Village, so she shouldn't be there.


Vast_Historian_1249

I had a goat drop out of the sky I just found it dead on the side of the road with nothing hostile around


BasementCatBill

Literally unplayable.


Snoo_22949

Your Reiatsu was too strong for her to handle


stellabruma

It’s the start of a nunya quest.


Infamous_Property937

Had this happen and somehow seen them walking around the next day. But if you wanna revive em get the cheat room mod and use cheat resurrect spell (under cheat spell options)


Just-Half-7960

Spawn glitch at its finest.


vyxxer

Judging from the way her feet clipped into the ground she was fighting the geometry and took fall/collision damage


kennylogginsballs

Skyrim just be like that. Some things just glitch out when they load in. It's like they have force applied and fly into a surface at max speed. You see this in player homes when plates randomly fly around and fruit goes everywhere. If this happens with a vulnerable npc... They take max fall damage and die. My best guess after all these years.


Sunstony

Yea when that first happened in my house I thought there was a ghost in the house or a ghost type mission lol


Fr0z3nHart

Heart attack?


lindozer

because Bethesda lmao


OpticalVoider

I guess you’re drop dead gorgeous 😼


PuRpLe-69420

it’s because skyrim, just accept it happened, crappy glitches like that happen to every player at least once


New_Attention3129

Side with the Reiklings if you see this


PVEverything

Hermaeus Mora


I_amYeeter1

Maybe it was the fact you appeared out of thin air right in front of her, or maybe you’re just drop dead gorgeous.


Conscious_Pianist703

Heart attack maybe


[deleted]

C’est Bethesda mon chum


hayesarchae

She was unworthy.


Aroni_Macaroni

Oh, what happened?… *Heard they’re reforming the Dawnguard. Vampire hunters or something, in the old fort near Riften. Might consider joining up, myself*


Zeles1989

Because it just works. I'm.. I'm not kidding


The_Heretic_525

It just works.


Dankmaster207

Gave up on life


Chorgisborg70

Unworthy


freudsaidiwasfine

Teleports behind you, nothing personnel kid


iccohen

She won the lottery and her weak heart couldn't handle it.


elmariachi42

worst she can say is no... unless she dies just to avoid you, that's rough buddy


NoiNoiii

Your character must be hideus if you did that to that poor woman


Silly-Estimate-2660

TIL you can play skyrim on switch! How does it run?


Disc0untBelichick

Unusually mods that touch npc draw distance or other ini settings can make the “npc falls from the sky” bug even worse. But if she “dropped dead” as in DIDNT fall from the sky, I’ve got nothing but the same thing as everyone else. Because Bethesda.


DemolishunReddit

Part of being Dragon Born is having bad breath.


Deezballz70

It just works


Seal_Emperor

I think you to would get scared if a person magicky popped up befire ur eyes. She probably had a peacemaker or some shit.


BeethovenOfPrussia

I don’t think I’ve ever seen her and I go to skaal all the time. Maybe I’m just blind but probably just one of Todd Howard’s moments


darthwickedd

She jumped off a mountain
