The most heart touching moments in Skyrim

[Ragicka]

I was passing through Riverwood when we came under a dragon attack. After the dust had settled, Alvor and his wife lay dead on the ground. Their daughter, Dorthe, just stood there in shock repeating "I can't believe this is happening!". I tried to see if she was ok. "I don't want to talk about it." she cried and ran away.

The dragonborn was prepared for anything; arrows, swords, spells. But nothing ever cut through to the heart straight and true as the tears of a heartbroken little girl. So I reload a previous save and re-do the scenario. I think I ended up reloading a couple more times because Alvor and Sigrid just had to be heroes.

Until finally, as the dragon lay dead before us, I anxiously look for casualties. Sigrid and Dorthe run up to join the crowd. But where's Alvor? Then I see him on the other side and with a broad grin, he sings out; "Sigrid! Love of my life! ..."

It was a classic hollywood moment.

Narfi sad.

Narfi never get to say goodbye.

 

Then you find out later the DB wants you to off this poor schmuck?

Geez, I forgot about Narfi. Talking to him and finishing his questline nearly brought a manly tear to the Dovahkiin's eye. On my first playthrough I joined the Dark Brotherhood and killed him before talking to him, so I figured his sister had run away and contracted his assassination, making it just a bit worse to be his killer. Unless that's not really her in the river...

Probably the moment that I asked Borgakh the Steel Heart if she was interested in me and that she said:

"You are strong and clever. I would be proud to face the challenges of life with you if you feel the same way."

There's something about that line that just made me feel more appreciative to have someone like her around in Skyrim.

But you can't marry Muiri so it's not worth it in the end. :P

 

I was already married to Ysolda, and why would I want to marry a nutjob who ordered a hit on a grieving woman who never harmed her?

[hardarg]

Revenge, my friend. Muiri was betrayed by her so called lover, and abandoned by her friend.

Fulfilling Katria's dream. :)

Because I think with my dick instead of my head sometimes.

It's okay, Kayyyleb. My Khajiit assassin was delighted to have such a wicked woman for a wife. And I don't even have a dick to blame (though he has).
She's perfect for a dominating, manipulative, abusive Dark Brotherhood assassin. She's always gonna be hating herself and doubting her decision, so she's vulnerable. And she'll always look at him, her "hero", with devotion because he knows her secret and still "loves" her, or at least won't tell anyone about it.

As for the topic, I don't remember any heart-warming moments. :/

I don't have a special heart warming moment for myself, but I have two cases which were crowning moments of heartwarming for my character - while they were actually slightly disturbing for myself.

 

The first happened right after my thief had bought Honeyside and moved the kids there. (They had lived at Windstad Manor before and, hand on heart, a swamp infested with draugr, bandits and giant spiders might not be the best place to raise a child - besides Lucia thought the ruins nearby were scary.) When he returned to Riften a few days later to check on how they had settled in, all they would talk about was how nice Mr. Brynjolf was, that he had given them presents and promised to teach them cool tricks. I think, my thief only then realized just how well Bryn is informed about the going-ons in Riften. After the first moment of puzzlement had passed however, my thief was extremely touched by the thought that his second in command was keeping an eye on his kids for him. So, henceforward my thief would go adventuring without a worry in his heart, because he knew that with loyal Iona keeping his kids out of trouble and Bryn making sure they didn't stay too far away from it, those two little rascals were probably the best looked after children in all of Skyrim and no harm could ever come to them. (And all the while I shuddered at the thought that Bryn was turning those darling children into little pickpockets ...)

 

The second moment happened only a few weeks later, when my thief returned to Riften after doing some jobs out of town. As soon as he walked through the main gate, Lucia ran up to him with a delighted "Here, Papa! Look what I have found!" and gave him a shiny silver ingot. My thief did not ask where she had found that precious item, he did not ask just how far she stretched the meaning of "found" and he did not ask Madessi if the jeweler was by chance missing something - he just felt overwhelmed with fatherly pride that his little girl had such a talent for the family profession - and made a mental note to change the lock of that drawer in which he keeps his copy of "The Lusty Argonian Maid" and the skooma samples.

I have to be entirely honest. It'd have to be the Rirns' story in Raven Rock, maybe even Bralsa's.

 

Just the way he said, it touched my heart moreso then anything else in the game. How he feels regret for leaving his fellow guard behind to die, and then getting discharged. And having the Counsilor take pity on him and allow him to stay.

I just wanna hug the guy. The way he says, "Azura's wisdom to you, friend" feels so genuine. I kinda feel the same way about Bralsa.
