Your best Skyrim moment

[Zeckt]

When I was about only 2 hours into the game and had my first giant encounter just north of riverrun after walking down the mountain. Thinking he would have something to say, he proceeded to hit me sky high like a baseball. Seriously, he hit me so hard I landed on top of the mountain!

 

[JokerCrowe]

In one Bandit hiding-hole thing, I saw a rock on the ground which looked like a switch - maybe I should say, this was like 5 hours into playing so i hadn't seen one before. Anyway the wall on the side had huge spikes so i thought "hmmm, maybe I should use this Skeever's corpse to see what happens if I press it". While I was thinking this, two bandits had seen me and started running towards me, I got so surprised that I let go of the Skeever and... SLAM!! Two bandits impaled on the wall... ^.^
So far I've only played for like 20 hours, so I haven't had that much AWESOMENESS happen, but that was deifintely one of those moments.
Needless to say, I steered clear of those switches after that..

I fast traveled to an Orc stronghold for a quest, and when I got there, they got attacked by another group of Orcs. Hot on their tail were two bears, who were in turn chased by a Giant, who had attracted the attention of a pair of dragons. It was one of the most ridiculous fights I've ever played.

Note the pile of Orcs over in the back.

I think there were one or two more dead orcs inside the wall, but that's the main event.

I was chased out of Whiterun by guards after trying to pickpocket someone, then a Blood Dragon flew out of nowhere and started burning a giant. With that giant's help it was easily despatched, but I must have caught the giant in one of my fireballs because it started chasing me. I ran all the way to a bandit stronghold and they helped me to kill the giant before attacking me. Then once I got inside I found the Lunar Forge, which was pretty cool.

 

[snagli]

Let's see...
I turned the Emperor into a sweetroll and ate him.
I Shouted a dude off of High Hrothgar, then jumped after him to see whose corpse would get down first.
I shot an arrow at a guard, but the moment it left my bow, I used the command console to make it 10 times bigger, impaling the guard with an arrow the size of a small house.

And one personal badass moment: I damaged an Ancient Dragon enough for it to crash precisely at my location. So while it was crashing, I used a lv 100 destruction spell and JUST before it hit me, it died.

I've had alot of "best moments" in Skyrim. But the moment that sticks out the most is what has become my favorite place in Skyrim.

I was looking for the Beacon of Stendarr southeast of Riften. And I found that general area where you can see Morrowind. But the valley surrounding that place in so beautiful, so quiet, golden and green. I just fell in love with that spot. Actually walked around and caught butterflies, chased a moose. I loved it.

At last, a topic about the actual game, rather than nitpicking, and glitch talks.

This has been the best part of the game for me thus far.

Major spoilers ahead!

Well, my story starts from a quest to go and defeat a dragon, I was making my way up the summit to go fight it, but then I saw a huge golden tower like none I have seen before, So I had to investigate. Beyond the tower however was a wooden incline, which leaded to a cave, and so I went in, not knowing what was in store for me. Inside the cave, it all seemed a bit quiet, no noises of enemy movement or talking. I then proceed further into the cave getting more nervous of what was round the corner, I then found huge trails of blood leading further on, and pickaxes laying in the frozen ice. I knew this didn't bode well for what was in store for me. So with sword in hand I proceed further and further in, coming to a huge wall with sounds of steam escaping from the pipes above. I then followed this wall and came to a table with a diary, and it describe a huge excavation of ancient dwarven ruins. On the table was a broken spider robot, that was powered by soul gems. I knew I would be fighting these, and the further i went in, my theory was correct. Out pop dwarven spider robots from the pipes, and they started attacking me. So i swung my sword and killed them, but that wasn't all i saw a Kaijit, who immediately started attacking me. He must have something to do with the killing somehow. I then came to a dark chamber with spinning cogs and steam valves (steampunk style), and these strange robots on balls started attacking me. I then proceed further into a large room with huge cogs and even cutlery placed on some of the tables (showing that the people who live here are smart and were well mannered). Then i came across the Falmer, short elf like people similar to the vorcha in Mass Effect 2. There was a load of them and it was clear that they built this, and this was their home, and they were defending it, so I felt awful killing them. I haven't came to the end of this dungeon yet but, it has been a very long one (it's taken me an hour and I've still haven't got to the end), and it just proves how genius the new dungeon designs are, and how much of a step up it is from Oblivion.

Meeting

Parrthurnax

for the first time in the main quest.

 

[Ledan]

Decided to move from being a destruction mage to shield and axe type of charater.
Fought toe-to-toe with 2 giants and killed them both! I evaded their instadeath attack by staying on their left, was a lot of fun after feeling cheap cause i only used the impact perk spam as a mage.

 

[WhatHityou]

I was killed by weee little forest animals, those being several bunnies a fox and three elk. As a decked out heavy plate bezzerker on adept difficulty. This was because I came around a elder spriggan.

Apparently it's "call to arms" spell makes the animals of the forest deal a significantly larger amount of damage and give them more hp. Id like to point out though that those bunnies were hitting for the same amount of damage a frost bear was hitting for and had more hp.

My pride went from "I'm a total baddass" to "Man how do I get out of city alive?" in 30 seconds.

Wabbajack, by any chance?

 

[Insanity72]

Then i came across the dweemer, short elf like people similar to the vorcha in Mass Effect 2. There was a load of them and it was clear that they built this, and this was their home, and they were defending it

Those aren't Dwemer, they are Falmer, the snow elves. Dwemer are a race of elves who have gone extinct and are never featured in any of the Elders Scrolls game. All that's left of them is there city's, architecture and the machines they built to guard them.

 

[Polite Sage]

Doing the Forsworn Conspiracy in Markath and in the end they want to throw me into jail. I say "Fuck no.", turn into a werewolf and go on a little rampage and escape the city. As I struggle my way outside the city walls, a Blood Dragon lands. Also, some local wildlife joins up.
The fight then turns into Guards vs. Me vs. Blood Dragon vs. Mud Crabs clusterfuck.

 

[Neekoolawous]

Discovering Blackreach for the first time. Yeah, words cannot describe how much I loved that place. Needless to say I have develloped a passion for crimson nirnroots and geode ore veins. Plus, Dwarven Centurions are one of the most satisfying enemies to take down.

You should be able to rave down there.

You were in alftand, which is part of the main quest. And those vorcha like mer were falmer, not dwemer, who were driven underground by the dwemer.

This post will most likely contain spoilers.



Hmm... my best moment has to be entering Sovngarde for the first time and seeing loads of characters only yet spoken of and references to Morrowind. And also the fact that the Great Hall is obviously a reference to Valhalla and seeing as I'm Swedish and this is part of my religious heritage I'm a big nerd when it comes to.

Biggest WTF Moment: Accidentally becoming a vampire and discovering that the cure to not become one took less than 20 minutes to complete.

You should totally "Fus Ro Da" the artificial sun (or whatever it is, I call it that) in there, just a hint.

Loads of moments...

Spoiler

While doing the Dark Brotherhood quest where Im disguised as the Gourmet, I approached the building dressed normally and got quizzed briefly about my clothes. Reloaded my save (had just saved it a second earlier) and put on the Chef clothes I had nicked. This time the guy said, "Oh, your clothes, I should have guessed.".
Little touches like that are ace.

The other one, lifted from my FB status this morning;

Exited the Sanctuary at Dawnstar, feeling quite pro. That was till I got ambushed by a blood dragon, a normal dragon, a frost troll, a passing giant, 2 bandits and 3 of the walrus thingies. The battle has lasted about 1/2 hour so far, only taken one dragon down and the walrus things, the blood dragon has taken care of the 2 bandits so its now done to me, the blood dragon and the giant. I have no potions left and both enemies are focussing on me at the moment.

A third one, was fighting a dragon on top of a mountain when a bear decided to attack me from behind. Panicking, I shouted the bear off the mountain and had a brief pang of sympathy as the bear flew off the peak and plummeted to the ground way below, paws flailing everywhere.

Oh, and one more for good measure;

Spoiler

Killing the emperor, both the fake one and the real one. Both missions were amazing fun and reminded me of that mission from Oblivion where you have to kill the guests in the locked house.

 

[ACman]

Walked into a room with four witches and a Hagraven. Pegged the Hagraven then switched to arrow-time and one-shotted the four witches poinsoned my bow and pegged the hagraven again as she teleported out.

I've never liked bullet time in games but using a bow it actually make sense.

Oh I see, thanks for correcting me.
