I know others have said my examples before.. but...
I remember the first time I played this game..
After traveling from Riverwood to Whiterun, I decided to do a little bit of exploring around the lands to the west of Whiterun... A bit deserted with nothing really there... After a little while, I saw something large in the distance. IRL I was like "Oh, cool! A mammoth!" as I enthusiastically ran my level-2 character towards it.. Then, all of a sudden, (which scared me almost to death because I was really in the moment), the giant chased after me, and hit me high, high up into the air...where I could see everything... Whiterun, the mountains, the nearby tower... all of it.............before dying. =w=
Love that glitch.
-One night, I was in Windhelm. I usually do fast travel since I am one to get lost for a hour otherwise, yet this time, I decided to go on a little adventure.. And as the loading screen from walking outside Windhelm closed... I stared in complete awe at the beautiful sky above.
Dark mountains, reticent within fog along the background.... An aurora below the cast of a large moon... the beautiful array of calm colors as they snake through the darkness of the sky, the edges dwinding, fading off to reveal blazing stars...
I wish I had taken a screenshot, I had tried but I think this was on my desktop, where snapshots disappear into Oblivion. (...the place, not the game, haha).. but yea.. could you imagine what it would feel like to have actually been there when things like that happen? --the chill of the night air of winter.. the breeze shifting through you hair.... surely, you would forget all worries.. even if you were poisoned or about to die from lack of blood...
The sky is what truly sets this game above the rest.
