Holding onto the memories.

I'll never forget the first time I killed a frost troll. It was such a fierce battle that the bards shall sing about it for ages.

I hit it first and it hit me back and it hit me so hard that it took away around 75% of my health. So I back off, cast a healing spell, get close to the beast and when it rises its claw to hit me again I step back, it swings at the air and I hit it, but I barely hurt it. It took me several hits to bring the troll's health close to 25% and then... it healed itself. I realized this wasn't going anywhere so I repeated the hit-n-run tactic but this time when it prepared to heal itself again I shouted a fus roh dah at it and stunned it. After a few more minutes it was dead.

This lasted so long that I went up two levels during this fight alone (I kid you not).

  • I'll always remember the EPIC battle I had with a Blood Dragon at The Collage of Winterhold. Me Onmund and Arniel Gane v Dragon. Onmund just started punching it and died I cast a few FireBolt spells and killed it. It was epic because it was snowing and I kept hiding behind the Pillars while Dragon attacked

Mine was the same as the OP's actually, as I had only previously witnessed snow on Oblivion Skyrim's was breathtaking.

my most memorable moment was when i just slew the bandit chief (and this character was not made for combat, that made this moment awsome on its own) when i noticed everything glowed a soft yellowish gold color, then i looked up at the most beautiful sight in skyrim, a gold aurora on a clear, dark night

Spoiler
the first time in blackreach was amazing too, so was sovengarde and meeting my lord sheogorath (again)m oh how i missed his speeches about cheese

Another for me was a night I spent just exploring around Whiterun. It was way later into the game and I've been in that area hundreds of time but this night sticks out more than others. First I met a ghost looking for their lost love, then I met a man brining a painted cow to the giants for trade or something like that. After that I ran into somebody important that was being brought to the Whiterun jail for stealing from his people, I attacked and he ran off. It may not sound all that great but everything just felt right, it's was a beautiful night full of all sorts of odd things. You know what I mean, it was just one of those times you never forget.

Battles and quests so glorious i wrote about them. moments so sad i needed a few flagons of mead to get over it. watching my Argonian become stronger and how in sync i became with my followers. and after the GOTY of Skyrim comes out i will retire this character. he will rest inside his sword until he's needed again.

Blackreach.

I think I remember shouting "hello" at the TV just to see if it would echo...

The first time seeing Azuras statue from a distance was breathtaking for me and I think I even shed a tear I was so overwhelmed.

Oh Lady Azura, how you deserve to be praised by a statue such as this!

It was stunning! The way Azura's form slowly came into focus as the player runs through the inclement weather. The sheer size of the monument just made the whole sight even more tremendous. 10/10 for the area from me.
