Just joined, so this wow moment didn't happen recently.
Early in my game, I was traveling west across the the great plains between Whiterun and Rorichstead, to let the Al'kiri know where the women they were looking for was. I was zigging north and zagging south, marking each landmark on my map to return to later, when two skeletons came barreling at me over a small rise in the land.
My first arrow crumbled the nearest skeleton, but my second whistled between the ribs of the next(literally made a whistley noise-wow moment#1). So I drew my blade and fell the creature with two slashes. Thinking the coast was clear, I sheathed my dull iron sword and relieved the skeletal beings of the change they carried with them in their past lives. Then a third ghoul come over the rise, in the middle of bringing a battleaxe to my face. I FUS'd him and unleashed my sword a second time, felling the skeleton as I withdrew it.
Only as I returned the blade to it's scabbard did I wonder what skeletons where doing in the middle of the plains of Whiterun hold. My questions were answered soon, for I found a dead mage, along with his spell tomes which he no doubt used to summon the skeletons. Twas my second wow moment, finding an answer for something that would have otherwise been strange. I gathered up his belongings, including the tome, a steel dagger, and his robes that I planned to disenchant for the abilities they bestowed.
I think it's awesome how random events in Skyrim immediatley convert themselves into organic stories.

A moment of awesome for my partner mostly. I was playing as my Dark Elf, Celty, and was kicking the ass of an Ancient Dragon. Or trying to. I was dying and spamming Fast Heal. He was only a sliver away from death but he kept YOLing me.
Then Jordis the Sword Maiden appears out of nowhere and kills the bitch.
Yep.

my current favorite WOW!!! moment... came out of Blackreach at Raldbthar and across the river is a dragon mound... and Alduin(sp?) is buzzing around it and saying things. I tried to get down there, and get intercepted by an ice wraith, that wasn't the wow! it was running up to the mound because I didn't see another dragon buzzing around.
As I got to the dragon mound I see a spike sticking up out of it and I start to cross the mound to check it out.
AS I do that... out pops Viinturuth... a named dragon... I was back pedalling out of there and sprinting as he tried to chomp me, but I got away and prepped to take him out.
I was laughing so hard seeing the dragon pop out and attack. I'm still chuckling as I sit hear typing this.

To me this is a wow moment. So my husband has been bugging me, ranting about the time I spend on Skyrim. He spent 45 minutes making his Orc... then started yelling profanities as he was trying to get out of Helgen. I know it probably sounds silly but it's teh funniest thing to me to listen to someone get so caught up in the game that they forgot their wife and six month old are sitting right there. He keeps going "Did you see that! Look at that Dragon!"
On a side note I have the walkthrough for when we get stuck on the puzzles (I know its sad but when I stayed up until four one night trying to get through a dwarven mine thing I said enough is enough.) He has been reading it for three days planning this orc. And he looked at me with this serious face and goes "What's a Drauger?" So I told him. "What's a dragoon?" "You mean a DRAGON?" "Oh...."

Doing wow moments are we? Well...
When I fought my first dragon I was absolutely pumped and exited. I could've been on the edge of my seat excitement. And then the finishing cinematic came. I was absoloutly gobsmacked and amazed....
Then I paused the video....

Got any SKOOOMA!?
My favorite WOW moment was when I saw a spider piss off a giant. The giant wasn't taking pl*ps from that spider, so he smashed it with his club thingy and the spider sky rocketed into the air. Like, he shot up past the clouds and off the map!
I literally shouted, "WHOAAAA!" Then I could not stop laughing.

MINOR SPOILER
My "WOW" moments have been
1. Returning the Skeleton Key to Nocturnal at the conclusion of the Thieves Guild critical quest line, that whole quest and cut scene with the Goddess herself was incredible.
2. The second dragon battle I found myself in (Named dragon, fought with the owner of the Inn in Riverwood, main questline.) it came swooping down over the edge of the cliff, I injured it and it crash landed right over my head, taking out 3 or 4 hunters who joined the fight. It was unreal, my heart was racing after the wing nearly took my head off.

My fav "wow" moment was while i was attacking Whitrun with the Storm Cloaks, catapults fliying, fire everywhere, soldiers fighting, and on top of all the destruction, a dragon gets in on it, attacking the city as well!
Some seriously awesome wow-moments. A very good read. I feel like I should contribute, so here is my first 'wow' moment of the game.
Had a sort of chain of events that really did it for me. I was walking somewhere between riften and whiterun when a dragon suddenly appeared in the sky! When I drew my bow to fire at the dragon I noticed something behind the dragon.. a second dragon... "You gotta be kidding me" I said, and figured that with all the trouble I had just killing one dragon this was gonna be next to impossible. I started running towards a few stones on the ground to have a place to seek cover for the flames / ice breath as I had no resistance to anyting at all. When I finally got there what happens..? Yes.. a third dragon suddenly rushed to join the fight from a nearby alter. After being roasted a couple of times I figured that this was a fight I could not win, so I ran. Like the wind. Screaming like a little girl for my mommy. After dodging flames for a few hundred meters I ran into a giant camp by accident. Then I got an idea.. "what if I can get the giants to fight the dragons..?". I thought of the time I got instantly killed by a giant and sent flying through the air just an hour or two before. With nothing to lose I went as close to the giants as I dared. The plan proves effective as a dragon lands only a few meters from the two giants. After they get engulfed in flames from the blood dragon the giants turn to fight the giant lizzard instead of me. Luckily, the giants took almost no damage from the firebreath and immediatedly starts pounding away at the dragon. They did massive damage to the dragon and almost at the same time as it died, the two remaining dragons lands on each side of the giants. Me, hiding behind a nearby rock desperately trying to change my soiled underwear, could only listen and watch as the carnage played out before my eyes. Then out of nowhere a mammoth joins the fight! The two dragons seemed to instantly switch target to the mammoth as it was almost instantly roasted becomming the first casualty from the "giant team". At this point I had no idea who would emerge victorious from the fight, so I started helping the giants by firing my worthless iron arrows at the giant lizzards. This went on for a while and near the end of the fight there was 1 dragon with roughly 25% hp. One giant with roughly 50% hp and me with 50% hp and zero potions. Finally the dragon fall victim to the deathblow of the remaining giant and even tho I feel like hugging the giant and kissing him sceaming "We won!" he has other ideas. I am forced to kill him by kiting him arround a rock for a few minutes and finally the dramatic music fades. I was still alive! Before me was 3 dead dragons whos souls I started absorbing, two giants and a mammoth.
"and I'm only lvl 12.." I thought.. "I'm gonna like this game".

Bring me my broadsword, and clear understanding.
Almost each daily visit to Skyrim has a wow moment, but the first, and it will be a long lasting satisfying memory, is the sight of that frost troll on the way up to High Hrothgar laying dead a long way down after I'd shouted the b****** off the mountain.

PC - Main quest line. Without giving a spoiler, near the end, the building, fighting the dragon. Area was cool.
2nd moment. Quest for whiterun, help the tree, area were you get the sap.
PS3 - Playing at buddies. Game goes crazy. Holding the controller on top of my open hand touching nothing. Game equips a bow a fires.
Win

Lets see my wow moment was when i first saw Whiterun and all the farms around it and the skies being so beautifully clear and when i walked the path to whiterun i saw a few imperials escorting a stormcloak soldier and i was wondering should i free him? i started thinking about what i saw in helgen the torture room... the dead stormcloak soldiers in cages and just when i wanted to press the button to unsheathe my blade i thougjt no i couldn't kill these innocent soldiers who were just answering their call of duty.
it's none of my business i will stay out of this war no matter what. and after walking the path some more i saw a giant on a field and i thought wow thnx skyrim god!! something to release my frustration upon!! and after i killed it with my bow and sword i got invited to join the companions in whiterun...
wow...

I once attacked a random Imperial camp, led them to a Stormcloak camp, a giant randomly saw us all, and a dragon attacked all at once. Needless to say, it was epic. In the civil war questline, (imperials) I ran up to a huge group of stormcloaks (It was during one of the Fort quests) and started wailing on them. The final one tried to crawl away, and I grabbed his shoulder and pulled him into my sword.
