I literally just stopped playing and came to share my story.
As a preface, I just started this playthrough, and it's my first time trying master from the beginning. I was doing one of the Interesting NPCs quests, I walked out of whiterun, and headed on the road south, as I passed the western watchtower, I hear the unmistakable sound of a dragon. Boom. Blood dragon swoops down and blasts four of the guards, nearly engulfing me in the flames as well. So I'm dodging, ducking, dipping, diving, and dodging my way through this fight, and when I had the dragon at ~20%, the ground started to rumble, I whip around, and lo-and behold, I see two mammoths and a giant running my way.
At first I try to ignore them, as they are helping me to fight the dragon, but right when the dragon came to the ground for the final time, I fired what would have been the final arrow, the giant did a sidestep right into the arrow's path. The dragon died, and by ths time there was only one guard left, my follower, and I, facing two mammoths and a giant at nearly full health. So I did what any noble warrior would do. I ran. I ran as fast I could, I was out of potions, I hadn't bolstered restoration at all, and I was just not going to be able to finish these folks off.
So I'm running as fast as my legs will carry me, even exhausting my last few stamina potions, the mammoths move surprisingly quickly and I'm just barely gaining ground on them when... a courier comes and stops me dead in my tracks. I get through the dialogue with just enough time to see a giant's club swinging towards my face. My body flew about as high as I've ever seen it, and it was spinning in such a way that I could see my characters face, it was the biggest FML expression possible.
Then I quit and came here.
