How do you backstab a Dragon?
I know it's probably just me, but I love all the new stuff I discover when I actually play an Argo and swim around under water in the lakes, rivers and dwemer ruins. I have found so many unknown things.

I also love the kill-cam when a Khajit character scratches his opponent to death (okay claws :))

Shooting someone in the head, just to hear them say "Is someone there?"
:p

Or one-shotting a bandit just as they say one of their classic lines, like "never should've come here!", and proceed to drop dead. :)

Lol! I think my favorite thing they do though is when you're in the middle of a execution and right before or as they're dying they say something like "I think your bleeding!" :D

Every time that happens, I reply with "Ha! I think you're dead!".

Bad to the Dragonbone.
I'm probably one of the few left that still enjoys Lydia saying "I'm sworn to carry your burdens ..."

Kill cams of stealth kills, whether by arrow or dagger.

For that matter, ANY time I one-shot stealth kill.

Opening that boss chest at the end of a dungeon ...

Killing Nazeem.

Killing Heimskr.

Killing.

Breaking into houses and robbing them blind.

Taking a dragon's soul.

Crafting potions.

Unlocking the last Word of Unrelenting Force.

Killing Nazeem. Yes, I mentioned it twice.

Gathering ingredients.

Playing Skyrim.

Discovering new things. . .
I ran into the Aspiring Mage for the first time a couple weeks ago. I've only ever seen the headless horseman once (probably because I tend to have my characters sleep at night).

Creating new characters. . .
I know it's bad but I have real trouble sticking with a single character for more than a couple weeks. But I always look forward to creating a new one.

Not vanilla, but between the mods "Climates of Tamriel" and "Real Shelter" I find standing under an awning and watching the rain to be relaxing. Ultimately, the landscape and skies (granted they are enhanced with mods) do not get old for myself.

Barely Escaping a really tough fight.

Clearing a Dungeon or Fortress without ever truly being seen.

Everything about Neloth.

All of the Deadric quests.

Exploring randomly and realizing that you haven't been in an area before, even after hundreds of hours playing.

Wearing the wooden mask. It still gets me, each time. What an awesome thing to put into the game, and it isn't even associated with any quest. I ran right by that little area multiple times before I finally walked in a saw it.

Getting the Nightingale armor. Best looking vanilla armor IMO. It just screams, "I'm terrifying!"

I also love being a brand new character, going through embershard mine. It's always such a good feeling to have that clean slate.

TheNatural - If you don't mind me asking, which wooden mask are you talking about? I'd like to check that out. :)

Check out Labrynthian - it's part of the Masks quest. Tip: It's not in the dungeon you go to the College or in the other Burial site either. Look for a skeleton and a note.

Embershard is indeed a really good cave to have right at the beginning. It's not too challenging in size or difficulty, but it presents a cross-section of a great deal of what appears in larger dungeons -- traps, ambush opportunities, hidden boxes, alternative routes . . . I like it a lot too. Also all the iron doesn't hurt.

I love how I am still discovering things to this day, despite the game being out for almost three years now.

Today, for example, I only just discovered there is a hidden chest in Bleak Falls Barrow, in the antechamber leading to the Frostbite Spider lair. I also realised today that if you beat Hadvar (and I assume this works with Ralof, too) back to Riverwood, and initiate dialogue with Alvor (or Gerdur, I presume), you open up completely new dialogue options. I'd never before realised those two little things.

Aside from the hiddens gems you can find after several hundred hours of playthrough, there are other things that, for me, never get old.

  • Slowly taking in your surrounding from the Throat of World. Spotting Whiterun far below, with the tundra spreading out into the horizon. Turning eastwards, and on a clear day, being able to spot Windhelm. The views in this game never cease to make me take a few minutes to just stop and stare.
  • The chill when a Wispmother appears. I find those buggers creepy as heck, and they still make me shudder when they appear.
  • How many little ruins, abandoned towers, outposts (etc) there are dotted around Skyrim. You'll be strolling through the untamed wilds and happen upon a collapsed and ruined structure or tower, and you'll wonder what it once was, and why was it abandoned. I always find my mind wandering and thinking up stories behind the little ruins, picturing them in their hayday before their decline.
  • Something simple like hanging back in a city or village, and listening to the sounds of life and activity, watching the villagers go about their day, toiling in the fields, trading trinkets at the markets.
  • Emerging from a nordic ruin, exhausted and exhilarated after a tough battle, and seeing the sun and the beauty of Skyrim. Hearing a distant dog bark and the unmistakable clang of a near by blacksmith, and realising that while you were doing battle with the powerful undead and exploring secrets no Nord has seen for centuries, life went on as ever, ignorant and unaware of your little adventure.

I made an argo character just so I could figure out what was at Pilgrim's trench. This was before I knew how to use console commands and I never come across waterbreathing equipment or spells.

Getting a kill-cam as a warewolf ripping a bandit to shreds as they say "Ayiiiiieeeeeeee!"
