Nothing more entertaining than a good ol' fashioned dragon spawn imo.

Unless your in a spot where the dragon won't stop flying and come down because theres no nearby "drop spot", instead you're left with an airborne pratt constantly breathing frost/fire.

Last night on Legendary this Frost Dragon really irritated me, when I used Dragonrend, it flew miles away from me and my follower, on foot it took ages to locate the dragon, and then guess what, it flies all the way back to the spot I orignally wanted to fight it at (Word Wall) which really annoyed me!

Was so glad when I hooked up with my 3 Blade recruits who were also at the spot chucking magic. We just gladly hammered it from all sides.

I like the bandits pretending to be imperial soldiers. When they ask for money and you give it to them, the leader says "heh, now scram off! I mean....have a nice day citizen..."

Always makes me laugh!

LMAO that happened to me a few days ago at Darkwater Crossing, though the Bandit was an orc and he said he was in the legion and wanted 100 gold (My Orc truly in the Imperial Legion) so the response was "I'm in the Legion, and you're DEFINATELY not someone I recognize!"

He was like "Well I guess you'll have to hand over your dead corpse aswell then!"

I had an odd encounter just outside Hillgrund's tomb. Just cleared the dungeon and parted with Golldir, and a dragon landed in front of me and just died. Didn't see anything hit him, he just threw his head back and disintegrated in front of me without anyone striking a blow.

As I recall, everytime this happens I burst out. It isn't a real "event", but it takes the cake.

..I still think it has something to do with the Blood Dragon that often neglects giving you his soul. Just the game's way of saying, "Sorry, here you go!"

Edit: And I'd like add, what makes it so memorable is the impact as he hits the ground and makes the sound of death. Too funny!

I can see that using Dragonrend. That's one of the reasons why I never use it, another is that I prefer a straight up fight. IMO, Dragonrend takes all the fun out of dragon battles. I actually think it's pretty stupid to have a Shout that completely nullifies what makes a dragon a dragon. May as well go kill mammoths at that point.

Most memorable encounter I had once was at the lookout above riverwood, I had just met the frightened woman in rags, did the conversation and she walked off the same direction just as the bandits attacked, I downed the first were she then looted his body, equipped the great sword and one shot ted the chief before slaughtering the archer, , me I just stood there watching, then cheering you go girl, ,

A vampire and his death hounds attacked Katla's Farm today. I used repel undead on the death hounds and they scattered, and the horses and goats started chasing them around the farm. Not every day you see death hounds being stomped to death by farm animals! Unfortunately, my own horse was killed in the chaos so i reloaded.

just today I had a new one for me I was coming back to whiterun from Treva's watch on a random Companion quest when as I left Helgen which is my normal route I saw 3 Stromcloaks which my orc hates as I got close to them they all drew weapons and shouted their normal battle shout stupidness when I realized they were attacking 3 Thalmors instead of Imperials lets just say Glusrkub gro-Shuzham was more then glad to make sure none of the other 6 participants walked out alive hehe

The old orc seeking a glorious death.

Depending on the character, I may or may not oblige him. But fighting the old-timer is personally preferred to leaving him standing there waist deep in dead sabercats.

I also like the woman fleeing the bandit camp. I always go storming up the hill to teach those bandits a lesson.

The boy sent to get back the lost pit-wolves is also a favorite.
