Did that just happen? I didn't think that was possible ...

Have you ever had one of those moments, where an event or an action occurs that you thought was not possible? Perhaps something that you thought the game mechanics did not permit. Maybe it was something that you thought you saw, that you had never seen before, and haven't seen since.

Recently for me, it was while trying to kill a Greydwarf with my bow, way off in the distance halfway up a mountainside. I aimed my reticle fairly high over my target and shot. As the arrow was sailing through the air, a deathsquito from the plain at the bottom of the mountainside flew up in the air, right into the path of the arrow. My arrow appeared to kill the deathsquito, then carry onwards and also kill the Greydwarf. For a few seconds, as I ran towards my kills, I half expected the Greydwarf to come flailing down the mountain towards me. Thinking that because I had never seen a single arrow kill 2 creatures, it was not possible, and what I thought I just saw, didn't happen, wasn't possible.

I'm not talking about glitches or exploits but I'd really be interested in reading about similar type events others have experienced. Perhaps it is something funny, in that after playing the game for a long time, you learned a game command or action for the first time.

I recently had a cool moment in the Black Forest:

I had just been seen by a pack of greydwarves. As they're charging me, one stops to throw a rock.

At that precise moment, a nearby crow that had roosted in between my character and the greydwarves decided to fly away. As he flies between us, he gets nailed by the thrown rock, exploding into a puff of feathers right in front of my face.

Thanks for the sacrifice, crow! I also didn't realize that birds were killable during flight. That could make for some pretty good bow practice!

Best moment of similar things thus was was cutting a tree at the top of the hill in the black forest with a small ridge under it and seeing 3 greydwarves making their way up. At the bottom of said hill/cliff if you will was a swamp and a blob and draugr were down there there in the vicinity.

When the large fir was cut down, it quickly started rolling down the hill, took out the greydwarfs and killed the blob and almost the draugr.

I call it Black Forest Bowling when I can get away with it.

Tried to shoot a boar a pretty close range. A bird just swooped in and took the hit for the boar. I didn't even realise but my friend saw it a bit further back. Was hilarious.

I think I had that happen during one of my troll kites. Was running away from him, turning around, aiming, let loose, and - blammo - a seagull took the hit. ;)

Shice happens.

Only option that im able to imagine this is possible is through desync on a multiplayer server.
Nice shot though!
