My Favorite Moment in Skyrim

I bounced into Morthal first time on a playthrough with Janessa in tow as my assistant. I was far enough along in the game that dragons were attacking the towns. One showed up about 10 seconds into the discussion on the Jarl's doorstep about the problems in Morthal. A dragon started circling overhead.

 

Here's what happened. One event right after the other:

1) Dragon roared. *ROOOOOOAAAAAAAR*

2) Dragon landed. *BOOM* (earth shakes)

3) Janessa yelled "Nerevar guide me!"

4) A courageous, yet deranged, chicken right beside me screamed "BUCKOCK!!!!"

 

I nearly fell out of my chair. Needless to say that due to my AFK, my character became a dragon popsicle. I hope it was tasty.

One of my first "wow, that was cool" moments was on my way East from Whiterun. I was getting close to Valtheim Towers, and saw the bandit up on the tower bridge standing guard. I snuck in to around 300 yards and from my hiding place behind a rock took out my trusty Ebony Bow enchanted with fire. I one-shotted him off the bridge and watched him falling, still on fire, to the river below - trailing flames the whole way.

I was in the woods up near the Red Road Pass giant's camp when a gang of bandits came running up. I braced for combat, but they weren't after me - they charged straight into the camp and took on the giant. He expressed his views on this quite forcibly; I think at least one of the bandits might have had time to realise they'd made a grave tactical error before the giant assisted him into the upper atmosphere.

I was chasing a bunny for my main occupation in Skyrim (bunny slaughtering)...i was so focused on chasing that bunny that i ran right in the middle of Karthspire Camp (heavy populated Forsworn camp) with my lvl 65 thief/merchant Kajiit. I think 3 of them died probably killing eachother in a fight based on wich one should kill me.

Okay, this made me laugh. Talk about an "ohhhhhhh.... fuuuuuuuuuuu..... dge" moment.

 

The first time I saw a randomly appearing dragon, it was attacking one of the giant camps near Whiterun. Talk about grave tactical error. I guess when you're a dragon it just never enters your mind that you might actually lose. It was dead before it even had a chance for the thought to occur.

Strangely enough I ran across some list of Skyrim variables. Number of bunnies killed is actually tracked.

I was recently hunting and gathering in one my favorite spots (the hot springs area), when I chanced upon a giant camp that I hadn't visited in my current playthrough. I scouted it out from the rocks above. Giant ... check. Mammoth ... check. Second mammoth ... check. Opening my inventory I rummaged around. "Bow of Souls" ... check. Two grand soul gems ... check. One greater soul gem ... check.

 

It was a no-brainer situation. With a little stealth, and my newly constructed and upgraded Dwarven bow, I could take on these guys. Little did I know.

 

Two shots from my bow and the giant is almost down. He was my first target, because he's more maneuverable than the mammoths. I pull out my "Bow of Souls", the only magical weapon I have, and take aim, only to hear a snarl behind me. It was a wolf. I could tell from the sound. "Eyes on the prey", I reminded myself. I'm wearing a full set of leather armor, upgraded to Epic level. A wolf isn't going kill me, and I have two mammoths bearing down on my position. I have to take out the giant.

 

Suddenly I'm surrounded by wolves, and my health drops to just under half before I can get off that shot. You see, I have a mod that occasionally spawns packs of wolves. In a sudden "Oh, shiiiii ..." moment, I make a decision. Jump down the cliff into the giant camp. I might die down there. I WILL die up here. I hit the ground running, trying to aim between the two charging mammoths and run right into another giant leading his own two mammoths. He immediately goes aggro on me, so now I have two thoroughly annoyed giants, four thoroughly annoyed mammoths, and six hungry wolves who all want a piece of me. There aren't enough pieces to go around.

 

I make a quick inventory check. Invisibility Potion ... no check. I used that in Mistwatch about twenty minutes earlier and don't have another. Time to run ... just as I see a randomly-spawned dragon swooping out of the sky toward me. He strafed me, dropping my health to just a hair's breadth from zero. I gobble down all my health potions. I don't use health potions, so I generally don't keep them around. I'm up to a quarter health and I'm suddenly surrounded by the wolf pack.

 

My last thoughts, as I watched the dragon take aim at one of the giants, were "I hope he fries all their butts", and "Today is a good day to die". Which I did.

i had the mod which gives wabbajack new powers. i toggled TGM and went to test the mod in a fort. there was complete mayhem. a dragon was spawned and i changed a guy into a dragon with some giants, m'aiq, cicero a pack of wolves and a chicken running around. i further used the wabbajack. some gold were splashing in place, a werewolf attacked the giant and was shot towards the dragon. which didnt take it easy and landed resulting in two dead giants and a dead blood dragon.
