I still haven't been to blackreach and I also have seen zero pictures of it. I'm very tempted to go.

The Sleeping Tree sap tree. I think it's weird to have the tree without any quest tied around it. At least I haven't had a quest tied to it. I like collecting the sap though--kinda' like honey.

That tree does have a small quest but I have a feeling more stuff will happen about it later on in DLCs.

As for me.. Most interesting thing I have ever found? Hard to say but I do have one I can say.. Some how, Ulfric Stormcloak was at the Imperial place in Solitude and started fighting with the Imperial leader. Idk how but he was there... AND I never started the Civil War at all! Not even joined a side!

A mammoth fell on top of me once. Didnt see that coming. Another time a dragon skeleton appeard out of the sky, fell on me and dragged me off the bridge to winterhold college. One of the two.

The skeleton with a cloak somewhere outside of Whiterun near some unmarked ruins.


Also running into Deepens-His-Cups after Sams quest. That was cool.

Sure was. I actually gave him what he asked for :)
The frozen mammoth is kind of cool.

I happened upon a sort of circle of stones with a dead woman in the center and a necromancer with her. The whole area was very serene and peaceful like. I don't know why but this little encounter just really stands out to me.

I have encountered some imperials, full in imperial armors. They're slayed citizen in the mid of the night. And when I approached them, they said I'm in the 'off-limit' area. Then they asked me to pays, and when I said 'I don't have money rightnow' they was tried to kill me rightaway!
I tried to searched this on the wiki, but never found this. Their location is in the plain just west of Whiterun, near Shrine of Zenithar. And when I searched them with different character, I'm never found them. Even in the same place.

That's a random encounter. Had it twice. Are criminals, disguised as imperials, to persuade you to pay up. Just kill 'm.

I once had two dragon encounters at once, was pretty interesting. Most of my interesting stuff comes from mods though.

I've always found those unmarked nordic ruins to be eerie. Especially the ones with un-openable grates on the ground with bottomless chasms underneath. ...I don't have access to the PC version of the gmae, so I can't see what's down there... Is there anything down there?

Nothing. There are a few, that seems like were going to be a dungeon, but the devs left them the way they are, my best guess is they decided not to make another dungeon.. There are some mods, that actually changed some of them added more dungeons on those locations.

The most interesting would have to be, as I was approaching a giant's camp, one of the mammoth's headed straight for the sky! I thought a UFO was around, but it hovered for a second, then dropped back to the ground as though nothng had happened. Perhaps its anus was covered with too much fur for the alien probe machine and they returned it?

It was definitely a "WTF" moment, that's for sure.

There's so many wonderful little things to find in the Wilderness. One that sticks in my mind is the skeleton clutching a flag at the top of a small island off the northern coast.. A climbing trip that went wrong?

A Gaurdsman who took an arrow to the knee. I found his story to be cool, and we bonded as brothers.

The fact that the waters of Skyrim seem to be lowering due to melting. Rock formations appearing where ice and snow were covering landscape in previous versions. Even a seemingly deteorization of the Mages College foundations in the surrounding landscape. :wacko:
What? Your landscape is changing?

On a wall in a fort (forget which one but I think it was north of Whiterun) there was a bear's head mounted on the wall with a cheese wheel in its mouth.

The circle of mushrooms west of Whiterun. DIdn't step in the middle of it, guess I've read too much Lewis Carroll.

If you travel along the northern coast from Dawnstar to Winterhold you'll find some interesting things.

I like how I found the little tent with two bedrolls, some wine, foods, clothes and flowers when I had sent my character on a honeymoon with her husband. Just had to spend an hour in there ;)

Oh, and I met the hunters on hot spring vacation just the other day. Too bad my character can't sit or lie down in the water like that.

Was wondering around during a snow storm on a mountain found this stone alter
Spoiler
it had bones and loot scattered around the area and on the alter with the loot was a book, as soon as I picked up a peice of treasure the bones animated and attacked me. The book was The Doors of Oblivion. The book was sort of an eerie read and finding it in the middle of no where was also, not to mention the undead.
I found a skeleton lying on a stone slab table in a mountain pass. Well, you could take the skull, but it was called 'adventurers skull'. I thought that was interesting. I meant to look it up on a wiki but never did.

These two sound very similar to something I found. I had previous knowledge of it, so I felt eager to get there when I recognised the surroundings. On the way up I fought two dragons at once. Pretty easy because they kept getting in the way of each other. Anyway, a skeleton was laying on a stone table, other skeletons were around which came to life and shortly after were in pieces on the ground. The skeleton laying on the table was glitched. I searched it to find a book, but can't remember what book. I kept closing and searching it over and over and the book was duplicating each time. I took one and just left it.

I have encountered some imperials, full in imperial armors. They're slayed citizen in the mid of the night. And when I approached them, they said I'm in the 'off-limit' area. Then they asked me to pays, and when I said 'I don't have money rightnow' they was tried to kill me rightaway!

I'm sure nearby you would've found some dead "naked" bodies of Imperials. I've not come across this encounter, but I know the bodies wouldn't have been far away
