I saw a similar thread over at TES, so I decided to bring it here.
What sort of interesting RAI-driven events have you witnessed in your game, that really struck you as memorable, amazing, or just plain funny.
I was exploring one of the Imperial ruins near the capital. The name escapes me at the current time, but it was populated with bandits and marauders. I sneaked my way in, and up ahead at an intersection I encountered my first opponent: a marauder. 2 arrows and she was no longer a problem. I dragged her corpse into a cell (because I could) and continued deeper into the tunnels. I came upon this large room with about 6 to 7 opponents, a mixture of bandits and marauders, most of which were either archers or mages. Fortunately, I hadn't been spotted, so I hid there, calculating the risks (I was level 2, still with my leather armour, so I wasn't too confident). I finally let loose an arrow at one of the more distant people, what appeared to be a bandit hedge wizard. The arrow was spot on, and took him down. It was then that all hell broke loose. Arrows and spells flew back and fourth as the two groups (bandits and marauders... there were about three at each side of the room) tried to kill each other. I took down a marauder archer that was mere feet in front of me as he was occupied with his "foes". One bandit archer, fleeing the scene, came across me lurking in the shadows, but I finished her off before she could get a shot in.
All in all, a very exciting, confusing, and rewarding experience. I only killed three enemies, in a fight I never expected to win, and never really took part in as far as they were concerned. Makes me love the stealth system so much.
I also had an incident with an Argonian in Bravil, I'm assumng it was City-Swimmer. I was going to my house when a Mythic Dawn cultist attacked me. Thankfully, the guards, and City-Swimmer, did not stand idly by, and helped me kill the assailant. However, City Swimmer must have done something in the confusion, because as the cultist fell, the guards turned their attention to the Argonian, and ended up chasing him all over town.
That's the two most memorable RAI stories I've had.
