Sad : yeah the lighthouse was horrible, but nothing to losing the stray dog and vigilance.

Happiest : I didn't know if it was in, and all but forgotten, but when I was off just exploring/collecting ingredients, the screen message that came up, [dramatic noise] 'Labyrinthian discovered'. That definitely put a smile on my face.

Happiest moment: Wearing my Daedric armour for the first time after putting in a fair amount of effort finding out how to do it (bear in mind this was all new and exciting territory for me, never having done RPG's before)

Saddest moment :
Spoiler
Killing Paarthurnax. :( Yes I know it was the right thing to do and that he was allied to Alduin, but he had also been helpful to me and went down without much of a fight, almost resigned to his own death. A bittersweet moment

Well when I got Ice Form, that was the best shout so I was very happy about that.
Saddest moment though... Hmmm... Ain't got one. Apart from the usual cynicism.

Saddest. When I took Whiterun and the Jarl who gave me Lydia, etc was defeated and he turned around and said, "I expected better of you."

Happiest? I really can`t think of a happiest. There aren`t enough consequences of your actions in this game to make you feel `happy` about anything. I mean, I don`t go around perpetually sad, I just can`t think of anything that makes me `happy`.

Maybe the closest to `happy` in this game I can come to is when I thought Lydia had died in this big battle, but 5 minutes later she came running up to me :)

Happiest: When i came home from gamestop and first started wondering around the beautiful world. I was awe struck.

Sad: Well my Khajit became really good friends with Ulfered the Unbroken and shared a tight bond that all started from a bar fight. They spent 50 hours together adventuring and exploring. Then one we had to go on a sucide mission and she didn't make it out alive. MY khajit took it very hard. He took her armor and main weapon and set up a little memorial at her house. Losing vigliance was hard too. My Khajit has had it a rough life.

Happiest -- finding Eldergleam Sanctuary for the first time (the most beautiful place in the game in my opinion)


Saddest -- defeating the Jarl of Whiterun -- his 'I expected better of you' made me feel like a traitor

Happiest- like 3 am the night I got Skyrim, when Farkas (I think) turned into a werewolf and I flipped a sh*t because I had no idea they were in the game

Saddest- SPOILER ALERT- I CAN'T USE THE SPOILER BUTTON ON MY PHONE, YOU ARE WARNED. When I was face to face with the real emporer, and he was ready to accept his death, stating I was an unstoppable force. And he just let it happen. I didn't want to kill the guy, but I was in too deep to walk away from the greatest thing to happen to the DB. Oh and when Astrid betrayed me. I loved her, but figured she was the one who set me up, because she was quite jealous.

Similar here. I met Uthgerd very early on in the game. She was the first follower I was able to recruit. She was with me for over 100 hours in the game and for most of it she kicked ass. Sadly though the game levelled beyond her abilities and I had to let her go. I actually felt pretty bad about it. (Ridiculous I know :blush:) She still turned up to my wedding though.

As for happiest moment...Not really sure. I'm probably at my happiest when wandering the wilderness taking screenshots of all the beautiful vistas. Not sure that qualifies as a ''happiest moment'' though.

SPOILER ALERT!

Happiest moment was being put in charge of the last Dark Brotherhood Sanctuary in Tamriel.

Saddest moment would be Lydia dying ... I died a little on the inside that day. RIP Lydia. You were a faithful housecarl, even if you never could keep up when we were exploring.

Saddest: Taking over Whiterun.

Happiest: Finally finding Sam G. for the first time on level 50-something. On my later characters I found him before I hit level 20. Seriously?
