Just wished I could have mumbled in passing to Aranea, "Didn't see that coming, did ya?" That seems to be a somewhat common glitch, as I read about it before. The first time I approached the Shrine a horse came rolling down the mountain and scared me to death. I thought there was some monster around or a bandit ambush, but nothing. Then I searched online and I found people reporting that falling horse. In my playthrough it has vanished/despawned though, so no flying horses for me.

Another thing that drove me crazy is the clanking sound in a corridor in Geirmund's Hall. It was the sound of something beating on stone. Again I went searching online and found a few reports, together with a lot of strange theories. Luckily I thought of TCL'ing and I discovered someone misplaced a potion of minor healing on the other side of the rocky wall. I still don't know why it kept "bouncing" to make the sound because with no collision it was immobile, but I picked it up and the noise stopped. I Should check on the CK just for fun.

On the fun side, one day I met Sond and Bottar, traded with them and watched them run away. "Dangerous place for two lone kids", I thought. 30 seconds later they were back, followed by an angry sabre cat. After I killed it, one of them stopped to watch me calmly and comment "Hmm?", then ran away again as if nothing happened.

Between Western Watchtower and Secunda's Kiss there's a random enocunter spawning point. For some weird coincidence I mostly met non-despawning characters there (or the place doesn't respawn, I don't know) so now it's full of dead NPC's. There are the old orc with two sabre cats, the guy from Cragslane Cavern with 4 pit wolves and an aspiring mage. Last time I went there, there was also a Vigilant of Stendarr that had just killed some skeletons, mining ore a few steps away from that "cemetery", all calm and happy.
