Your Coolest Skyrim Moments

[SniptheShadow]

List your coolest moments playing Skyrim here if ya want.




So far for me was last night:

I was doing my best to climb a mountain the hard way. You can kinda go up by going sideways and into nooks and crannies between rocks and gradually jump your way up mountains. Keep in mind I'm still at low levels with this specific character.

Well, after a bit of frustration and a good dose of stubborn, bull-headed persistance, I make it up to the snowy heights. I let out a big sigh, bite my lip and get to exploring. I move up another boulder, wedge my way around a narrow corner and a Dragon is sleeping right in front of me.

"Holy S%@#!!!"

Ten seconds later I'm on fire and falling allllll the way back down the mountain.

What a rush!!!

And then I laughed at myself and finally turned off the game and went to bed.




So...any other cool Skyrim moments? And please, remember to put a ***Spoilers*** if need be.


Thanks everyone.

Watching A Giant Fight a Dragon and Win...than proceeding to finish off the giant looting his stuff and taking the dragon soul

Also laughing at dragons when they attack me when I'm in a city or at the mages college only to be promptly destoryed by a barrage of magic or arrows.

I'll avoid giving out any plot details, but if you want to go into Skyrim totally isolated, then

*very very minor spoilers*

I was doing a infiltration-style quest that basically requires you to pick limited gear that's smuggled in ahead of you - then you go in unarmed and unarmored. I wasn't sure exactly how much you could bring with you, so I chose only the essentials (best sword, handful of potions, lockpicks, assorted miscellaneous stuff) and left the armor, bow, and other heavy stuff at home. After all, I wasn't planning to start a war. Mission goes off without a hitch, I scavenge a few things along the way from the few enemies I ended up killing, and it's back to town to report my success and get my gear back.

Except a dragon attacked the town. So I couldn't talk to the NPC to get my gear back because they were shooting at it with their bow. I had to fight that thing in a mix of scavenged light armor and clothing with no ranged weapons to get my equipment back. >_<

Best Skyrim moment so far? Watching this video!

I do not have Skyrim yet, but will shortly. The tipping point of getting it for the holidays versus getting it this weekend was that video

[Eladiun]

Opening the package and slipping it in when I get it on Friday.

[Failedlegend]

Oh and BUCKETHEAD!!!!

[Grosbeak07]

I was trying to get the attention of the Dark Brotherhood... Which I did.

So I went to sleep in a town on one side of the map, and work up in the middle of nowhere on the other side of the world!

Did the little scene with the DB and then stepped out into the world, where a Dragon promptly saw me and killed me.

I blamed Karma.

[Cupcake]

None. have no interest in playing it.

[fuzzy1guy]

The second time i found a dragon, when i was just running around the world.

It was a hard fight and i get him down to a good 10% left and he lands not too far away.

I jumped up on a rock right in front of him to drop some fire in his face... And he bent over and snapped his jaws over my head.. Shook me around like a cat with a mouse. And flung me off the mountian where i fell forever and then splattered on some rocks a long way down.

The movie camera death thing followed me all the way down too.

It took me a half hour to stop laughing. I had no idea they could do that!


Skyrim is just so awesome. If they ever make a MMO sized version of one of their games. It will just completely stomp everything else out there.

[Grosbeak07]

None. have no interest in playing it.

Your loss.

Only got a bit of play in so far, but the head on the chopping block 1st person and the scene that follows is fantastic. Everything I expected.

Just don't EVER play oblivion in again...I put it in to compare and it looks horrendous now :P

That's what she said.

*cough*

Not so much a "funny" moment but an exercise in stupidity...

I happened across that dragon shrine that also houses Krosis (level 50 dragon priest) and I was level 30 or so at the time. Anyway, I was focused on the dragon initially and didn't notice Krosis. About 3/4 through killing the dragon, I ran out of arrows. Still manage to kill the dragon but now notice Krosis blasting me -- I panic. I think he hits me with an ice spell of some sort between his fireball spam...I am suddenly moving VERY slow.

Krosis is wailing on me and I am praying the slow effect goes away. I am chugging pots and crawling agonizingly slow towards the edge of the mountain to make an escape...it's been a while since I saved & I really don't want to die.

It's taking forever, I've gone through all 30+ of my healing pots. I'm down to half health...I get a good idea and open the menu. I equip the Etherial(?) Shout (brief non-damagable state) and spam that whenever I can. I continue my desperately slow walk to the edge. At this point I'm eating any random food that happens to be in my inventory for a little extra health.

I make the edge with a sliver of health! I break line of sight and slide down the mountain a bit. I enter sneak so I know when I am safe. I am STILL moving slow. Maybe I am bugged? **** Bethsoft.

Suddenly an idea hits me. I hit CAPs Lock. Sure enough I can move normally again... In my panic, I must have hit it without knowing.

Last time I make that mistake.

[fuzzy1guy]

fast travel to some random town low on supplies and heavy with loot. OH theres a dragon right in front of me... uh oh. run into the inn thinking it'll go away in a few since i'm not ready to fight it.

Wait awhile.

Go check out the door and see if its gone. NOPE! Not gone. In fact, it called a friend. Now theres two dragons sitting outside blasting random townspeople.

That's a good place to stop for the night. Idk what i'm going to do.

Hmm, discovering there is a console command to change your character's appearance was pretty darn cool; I was in such a hurry to get in the game I didn't spend enough time at character creation and wound up regretting it. I try not to use console commands in games unless its for something cosmetic or to work around a bug.

For interested parties, it's "~" then "showracemenu". This brings up the character creation screen. Press "~" again to change your appearance. Pro Tip: don't change your race; it will totally screw up your perks, skills and Magicka, Health and Stamina values. Also, racial resistances won't work until you actually load the save game where you made the changes from the main menu. I had to completely restart the game.

As far as in game stuff goes (spoiler alert):

Olaf One-Eye quest, where you walk into a huge chamber lined with thrones occupied by draugr and help the murdered bard fight them, culminating in fighting the draugr of Olaf himself. One of the coolest quests I've done in that game...or any game.

The random dragon attacks, especially watching one savage Morthal and Winterhold are always cool too.

I just found the Krosis/dragon encounter. I wasn't expecting Krosis to be there. I'm fighting the dragon and I'm noticing this fight on my lvl33 Orc Paladin is harder than usual. I take a step back as spin around as the dragon takes flight and see a levitating, glowing Mage blasting me! I panic and quickly peruse my inventory to make sure I have enough healing potions and magician pots to keep myself alive. I switch to my shocking ebony battleaxe and jump towards Krosis after drinking a resist fire potion. I swing and swing and he backs off, then suddenly he drops from my sight! The fool falls from the ledge! Now the battle goes as I planned as I can put all my efforts into the dragon fight.

After killing the dragon, absorbing his soul and then getting my new Thu'um, I walk back to the edge of the cliff to find where Krosis fell. I see him, slide down the cliff and commence to pwning him. He has got to be the toughest caster I've fought yet in the game. The encounter was fun and thrilling and unexpected!
