I've never had it happen again and have no idea what the chance of these things happening is or what triggers (value? enchanted? armor only? etc) will cause them but its interesting.

I really wish I could specify my companion's equipment though. STOP USING THE STAFF OF FIREBALLS LYDIA! NOW I HAVE TO CHARGE IT AGAIN AGGGH

Goddammit. First everbody insisted on constantly spelling Libya as Lybia, and now I see Lydia spelled as Lidya everywhere? Please, for my sanity's sake, make up your mind people?

Typos happen.

i threw a bunch of dagger around, and a guard stopped me saying "HEY don't throw weapons around!"
"yes sir."
*left the daggers in the moat and ran away*

Before the game came out, I remember the devs talking about you dropping good weapons, and the npcs fighting over them or bringing them back to you.. anyone know if this is real, or were they bullshitting us? I gotta test this.

They were bullshitting us. Kind of like how they said there would be Vehicles in Fallout New Vegas, or that there would be over 200 endings in Fallout 3

Actually, they will sometimes fight over dropped items, I think it's just a very rare occurrence. 

Most of the time they simply ignore the items you drop, though. I dropped a bunch of flawless gems in front of a beggar earlier, he didn't even seem to notice.
When they do notice they will typically just return the items or ask your permission to keep items you've dropped.

Edit: Dropping items in taverns seems to increase the chances of fighting greatly. Mjoll just beat the shit out of killed Vulwulf over some scaled armor.

One time I accidentally stole an axe in Gerdur's house (it was leaning up against the bed!) I kept trying to comply with her demand to put it down, but every time I dropped it her son would place it back in my inventory.

I've had beggars come up and ask me if they can keep the nice clothes I've dropped, I've also had sad guards telling me not to drop all the swords I stole off of em.

[PTTG??]

*PC starts to steal the Guard's sword from its scabbard*
Guard: "What do you think you're doing?
PC:Um... I thought you might like a sword, and I wanted to surprise you, so I was just going to slip it in...
Guard: "You can't bribe me. Take your sword and get out of here!"

NPCs will fight. There's a few youtube videos of NPC fighting over stolen, dropped food in Inns.

Pretty amusing actually. He doesn't even pick up the dagger he murdered for, and the guards don't give a shit.

[Roundabout Lout]

I dropped a useless piece of armor in a bandit hideout.
One of the bandits promptly came running down the hallway to ask if he could take it.
I said yes and sent him on his merry way.

 He was halfway back down the hallway before he decided to attack me after all.

[SP2]

I can actually imagine that scene.

Bandit: "Oooh shiny, can I have?"
You: "Of course."
*Bandit runs off*
Bandit: "Wait a min-"
*As you knife him in the back*

Thanks for the chuckle.

Bethesda's weird programming:
Because I dared enter into the Honningbrew Meadery earlier in my game (like 40 hours ago), the game wouldn't activate the third quest from the Thieve's Guild. *facepalm*

Luckily I'm playing on the PC and I could use the console to activate the next quest.

And btw, playing with a high-level character (I'm lvl 56) means sometime fighting with more than 5 Draugr Deathlords at the same time. Very fun^tm, especially as I'm playing without companions and with basic light armor, and as I just started a new warrior life with a 2H weapon and no skill in it.

I don't know, I play as dual-onehanded ass-ass-in and those poor bastards fall like wheat (level 43). Also, Expert difficulty. I am going to re-roll because the game got too easy.

[Meta]

Instead of re-rolling I decided to just stop using my main skill(s): I already mastered destruction, then 1H weapons and block, so now I'm mastering 2H weapons. The primary power limit is in fact that I only allocate one or two perks for each skill-tree. These absence of specialization makes my character less powerful/more fragile. And in a way it makes all fights more epic. Even more with all the Draugr Deathlords.

And I must admit that I 'only' play in Normal difficulty...
