My best "wow" moment was either when I got killed by a giant for the first time, or when I was killed by kicking a ribcage...

Yes, the old "death by touching an old bone with your foot". I've been there. It wasn't the bandit that did me in, it was the skull on the floor...

Today my character took a lovely nap at the Sleeping Giant Inn and woke to find Faendal's dead body on the floor of her room. I know he dies all the time but in my room? A warning from Sven? Maybe Camilla didn't like me taking him with me on my adventures? Who knows? But it was kind of 'wow, strange'.

My wow moments usually come from scenery. I'm always in awe of the world they created. I will often stop on the way to somewhere, or intentionally 'take the long way' just to enjoy the scenery.

I have a bounty of 11045 in the Reach now, which made me go wow. That's a big deal for me. I've never, ever gone above 1000 before, and I always reload after getting a bounty of 1000 anyway. It was interesting having the Thalmor escorting the prisoner and the Imperial Patrol decide to attack me on sight.

It isn't the Markarth guards glitch, I just decided my character would kill all the guards in Markarth rather than go to prison. She doesn't have the advantage of knowing how No One Escapes Cidna Mine ends with escaping like I do. I guess she's never going back to Markarth ever.
 
Sorry this is gonna be long but I got 3...
My first wow (The first time I started playing the game I was soooo nervous EXCITED!!) was in the begining after Alduin flew off the tower and before I stood up from the chopping block a fire ball landed on me and I died. I thought, "Damnit! Now I'm gonna have to return this Damn game!" I didn't. Thank God for Auto Save!
The next wasn't much of wow but a "wth.. really?" I was doing the main quest and had Cisero as a follower and in the Sky Haven Temple I was conversing with Delphine about not trusting the Greybeards. Cisero, standing in the background muttering every so often to himself, busted out in his one legged chicken dance while she talked. I kinda sat in my chair thinking, wow... what the hell?
Finally, I had my Thane from Markarth as a follwer when I went to Solitude to get supplies from the Blacksmith. While I was talking to the guy, my so called Thane takes his Ebony Battleaxe I gave him and cuts down the Blacksmith in front of my eyes! The guards rush in to attack us. When the guards were lying dead and all was quiet, my thane grabs my attention, where I can't look away except push my exit button, and says "I can't believe I got away with that." I was astonished! I parked his butt there and left! He was still there, many many moons later, when I came back after failed attempts to get another follower.
 
I, too, am often found in awe of the scenery in Skyrim. I played it a few nights ago for the first time in several weeks and just stared at my tv screen for about ten minutes as Skyrim's version of the aurora borealis flashed above my character.

My other "wow" moment is epic kill cam shots. Last night I played angry lol. I was angry about something before I even started playing and went to a draugr tomb. I then proceeded to smash and decapitate most of them with the kill cam shots showing up every other kill. Note: Do not run around in a crypt with "Bludgeoned To Death" by Suicide Silence playing in the room. The draugrs did not fair as well as I think they hoped..

My third "wow" moment is the relevancy of dialogue in relation to either what my character does, is, or has been doing. I went through the Bards College and stole a bunch of books and after I walked outside, a guard said "Keep your hands to yourself." I wasn't even sneaking around anymore!

Fourth "wow" moment and then I'm done for now lol; seeing Hircine represented by the white stag and hearing his voice was just so cool! I didn't really involve myself with the daedric quests on my first playthrough so to meet all these gods now and earn their favor is pretty neat.

Okay, I'm done lol.

Doing the draugr thing with Farkas the other night and he was off to the side tying up a couple draugr so I decided to push ahead to the group that was coming towards us and start thinning them out. As I was walking by Farkas, he was about twenty feet away, I noticed the draugr he was tangling with was giving him a hard time. I had just pulled out my bow as a group was still a ways off but bearing down. So in one motion I pulled and swung my bow in his direction aiming for the draugr. Just hoping for a hit to give Farkas an opening so I wouldn't have to switch gears or have a couple draugr hanging on my back. At the end of my arc, I released while the bow was still in motion. The arrow landed right in the left eye socket of the draugr that was tearing up Farkas. It made a strange 'POP' I've never heard before or since and threw the draugr back about 10ft in the air. If I didn't know better I would swear the draugr had a 'wtf' look on his face when the arrow hit, but I can't prove that. It happened so fast. Those are the moments I wish for instant replay. :)

1107pm on 10th of Morning Star I witnessed not one, but two goats walking downstream, underwater.

also, what is happening with Alduin there behind Rorikstad? He's circling and hovering over a burial mound with lots of lights coming out of it, but nothing really happening. then I shot an arrow at Alduin, he flew away. Now I'm down the valley and I can see him flying around back over it... or may be it's the one he just woke up? That was pretty wow.

How do you backstab a Dragon?
Actually ran across a group of 4 hunters bathing in the hotsprings when I went through last morning. All friendly and in bathing suits, just floating there, enjoying the early day. It was so awesome. Wish I could have joined them.

Chasing a chicken across the plains of Whiterun cause I was bored. I stopped and aimed my bow and the chicken was tearing it up across the field and dived into a bush and I released the arrow and got it through the head. :)

I just finished the first encounter with Alduin on the throat of the world after you learn the dragonrend shout and I didn't even die once.. on Expert level GO ME!:)

Also.. LOVE Ancestral Glade with all the moths, so pretty:) Until the vampires and gargoyle came and ruined it with all their dead bodies laying everywhere :cowboy:

I loathe Ancestor Glade. It always glitches for me with the gate coming down and no exit so Serana has to face everything by itself. Found a way through the wall where the graphics are f***ed, but it cuts in to my RP.

polan can into space?
I was wandering around until I came across an island with a green dragon flying around it. After I killed another dragon that sneaked up on me, I decided to hang around on this island and the green dragon didn't even slightly care. It just flew around me in a big circle looking at me. As I put my weapons away, I noticed it would kill random enemies hanging around, but not me. I took the chance to spawn a bunch of animals, and the dragon, Sven and I killed them all together. :p

The magic was lost when the dragon attacked us straight after.

Riding to some place on Shadowmere, a wolf decides to attack. Couldn't be bothered getting off and dealing with it so I continue, and splash across a stream. Suddenly the wolf's health bar disappears and I look back to see the wolf has been totally mobbed by a bunch of crabs.. :D
