I took Jenassa into the Bannered Mare and upon entering, she immediately found a spot by the fire, whipped out her tankard and started partying. It was so like her. ^.^
I was also attacked by a pack of five ice wolves, all at once, on Expert difficulty, down the path from Whiterun to Windhelm. Lydia and Jenassa valiantly fought them off and then a passing adventurer joined in the fight and it all turned into this huge, epic battle with fireballs and fur flying everywhere. Who'd have thunk that wolves could be that exciting?
Earlier, I fought my very first dragon on a level three character, after switching up the difficulty and downloading a mod that gave dragons more health. It was a harrowing experience. I could barely get a hit on the dragon without dying myself. I ended up hiding inside the tower for most of the fight, letting the Whiterun guards and Irileth do most of the dirty work, occasionally poking my head out to see what was going on. At one point, the dragon landed right beneath one of the tower's windows and stayed there. I tried casting Flames at it through the window and was surprised to discover that my plan actually worked. Inch by inch, I roasted the dragon, hurriedly backing off when the beast noticed me and shot his own firebreath through the window. Irileth scored the final hit on him and when I saw his body go limp through my window I was like "YEEEEEEEEEAH!" I honestly didn't think that I'd be able to do it, that I wouldn't be able to kill the one dragon that was needed to progress the plot. It was a fight that I mostly spent hiding, but somehow it still ended up being an epic one.

If I hadn't already finished my coffee, I would've spewed it all over the computer upon reading that. XD
I nearly fell off my chair laughing when it happened. I so wish I had a video of it but the memory still brings a smile to my face.

Lolanother epic moment was when I went to a dragon mound and then called odhaviing to fight him. I then noticed another dragon flying around. SO there were 3 dragons and it was night and I couldn't differ between odhaviing and the others. Then when the saw the third dragon, i started shooting with my daedric arrows trying to shoot it down but it didnt even get hit! And during that, odhaviing killed the dragon somewhere and i couldn't find it's remains, so I wasted my arrows
another was after i levelled up alot i went to do the diplomatic immunity quest and i was seriously pwning those elves, It was really funny since they are all like 'ELven Supremacy' and they were all dying so easily!

I've run into Imperial soldiers escorting prisoners many times and I never payed much attention to them until today. My assumption had been that the Imperials were taking the prisoner to the nearest fort or camp to hold him as a POW, but the truth is far more disturbing. I was hiking through the mountains when I came upon three Imperials walking away from a prisoner's corpse. When I asked them about it they told me to "Back off, this is Imperial business". I guess a nation doesn't become as powerful as the Empire without acting ruthlessly.

...is not Sjadbek, he just runs him.
Hence my Stormcloak-aligned characters always free the prisoner.

Anyway, I had a wow moment today when I was wanting to see the Skyrim/Cyrodiil border after having seen the Skyrim/Morrowind one east of Riften. I happened to need to go to Falkreath anyway, so I decided to take the short trip. I was expecting to be repelled shortly before actually reaching the border marker like with the Morrowind border, so I was actually a bit surprised when that didn't happen.
I was already past the border, technically in Cyrodiil, when the "You cannot go that way" message popped up. You can enter Cyrodiil in Skyrim, albeit barely, without cheating.
I proceeded to spend the next minute or so crossing the border over and over.

Not the Dragonborn - A very naughty boy!
I was at High Hrothgar, then I decided to attack one of the meditating Greybeards (this actually works for levelling up sneak,if you didn't already know that). It all went smoothly for about 10 minutes,then he suddenly responded and started to attack, so I ran to the courtyard,but he froze me right on the edge of High Hrothgar,so I ended up falling down the entire mountain encased in ice. And I was still alive at the bottom too. Pretty funny/awesome moment for me.

I stumbled upon a five-on-five battle between a group of Imperials and Stormcloaks just outside of Riften, due to the "Skyrim Live" mod. To see them all going at it was among the most epic things I've seen. The Stormcloaks lost two of their number, but bravely pushed through, brutally taking down the Imperials one by one. Their final target was a big Nord in heavy armor who got riddled with half a dozen arrows before he went down. The only thing that would have made it better was if the "Crimson Tide - Blood" mod worked on NPC battles.

My Wow moment currently was when I was fighting a dragon that was guarding a Word Wall. I'd managed to get its health down enough to where it retreated. A few minutes and some creative mountain climbing later, I came upon it attacking a troll. It was grounded but took flight when I shot it with an arrow. It flew around for a few minutes before turning on me and diving head first and crash landing in front the Wall, making a deep ditch in the snowy ground and spewing tons of dirt everywhere. I didn't even know such was possible.
i was at the stormcloak camp in solitude and i killed all the soldiers. when i found out i couldnt kill the general (this is when i just started playing the game) i shouted him off the cliff with unrelenting force into the river. i laughed so much after that. now i love killing people of buildings and and cliffs.
