Skyrim Physics Glitch Sends Assassin Flying

A humorous gameplay clip from The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim captures a common physics engine quirk. After the player engages an NPC labeled as an 'Assassin' in combat, a powerful strike causes the character model to glitch violently. Instead of a standard death animation, the assassin is launched high into the air, spinning rapidly before disappearing into the sky, leaving the player to find their body on the ground shortly after.

Classic Skyrim, never change. Love how they just turn into a space program.

Is it even a real Skyrim playthrough if the enemies don't hit orbit at least once?

Classic Skyrim, never change. That space program is still running strong.
