Oh lord, the Draugr Deathlord's Shout disarm attack is a nasty thing. He used it on me while we were fighting on the second story of a room and blew my Dwarven Sword of Devouring (standard attack + 15 health absorb) over the edge and down to the bottom where I couldn't get it without running by him AND hurting myself by falling.
That is awesome. What good fight doesn't involve at least one dramatic disarm? :D
All battles should have that chance of chaos.

A courier greeted me when I got back to town. He has some odd fashion sense. Now he's walking around the streets in the middle of the night, naked. Well, in a sleeping cap and boots.

...If only he had a cloak...

Also, seems I forgot to keep the pointer on him for that screenshot, here is one where it says Courier too.

Hey, you know what they can't disarm you of? Magic.

Real useless thing that is, magic.

I haven't really gotten into the enchanting and such yet, but isn't there a 'silence' effect in there somewhere? ???

Yup, very useful on most magic-using enemies. It usually renders them completely powerless.  Alternatives are shock magic which drains magicka as a side effect, or the plentiful "Damage Magicka" poisons you can lace your weapons with.

I think I fought 3 or 4 deathlords now, none of them disarmed me.  If they did I would be royally boned because I have no backup weapon and it took 3 seconds for my flare spell to kill a rabbit.  Most I ever saw happen was one Unrelenting force me across the room and get butchered by my follower while I was getting back up.

And yea I think that first quest for stealing the ring from the argonian is either impossible to fail or really hard to as long as you do the stuff in a timely manner.  I'm high level but my pickpocket skill is garbage(This was my first time even using it), I have no stealth perks, and I did it all in full dragonplate armor.  I figure that's almost as bumbling fool-y one can get thiverywise and I still pulled it off without a hitch.

I felt bad stealing the ring from the argonian though.  he was the first argonian I saw in all of skyrim that didn't want to kill me.  He called me marsh friend.  I like him.

You know what I wish you could do... Take over "landmarks" and make them your base. That Tower/Keep to the west of Windrun, filled with Mages and other such things. Looks broken down and shit but there is an Alchemist Lab and Enchanting table surrounded by Cabinets and such. Perfect little get away spot too. Hidden in the snowy peaks...

I'm playing a Kitteh, so even if I do get disarmed, I'll just get more dangerous :P

Those 'dungeon bosses' usually Shout either Unrelenting Force or the Shout you'll find on the wall, I think.   I remember getting Disarmed in the same dungeon I learned the disarm Shout.

The most annoying thing about being disarmed is that you have to re-mark your weapon as a favorite and set the key binding all over again.

GAH DAMN YOU!!!
I had just finished going through Helgan's Keep and had stumbled across the mines. Finding myself taking down the Bandits at level two on master with two hits, One powered hit and a second finisher due to them being dazed. I had gotten to the Smith section down there and then the game crashes!!!
