Took me less than a second to have an answer:
I first played it back when I was in high school and fell in love (after downloading better bodies and heads mods, of course). It was my first open-world RPG that wasn't party-based. That piece of music was a strong indicator of what I was in for, and with each new single-player Elder Scrolls game, I get sentimental joy out of hearing its variation on the main theme. The first character I beat Skyrim with was an Argonian who - in my head-canon - was descended from the first character I beat Morrowind with. I even decked her out in war paint that was colored to refer to locations and events.
