I want to hear peoplscriptinges funny stories from any of the elder scrolls games. I will start! One time I was playing Oblivion, and I was on dive rock with the adoring fan. I told him to go home, and he friggin killed himself XD.

The first time I ever stepped out the sewers in Oblivion.

Not only did it make my day, it made my life.

I loved that. Just knowing you could go anywhere... Oblivion had done beautiful views in it. Wish skyrim had some more beautiful landscapes sometimes.

hehe, the first time i stepped into an Oblivion Gate, i was actually quite frightened, and after the Kvatch Gate i never stepped in any gates other than the ones i had to go in for the rest of that game

i know i know ...

i can admit i felt somewhat frightened too. I had never played any game like Oblivion, so it was all new to me...that first playthrough was really something else. All the twists and turns, oblivion gates and whatnot, it was somewhat overwhelming. But awesome of course ^_^

most of my ''wow'' moments were in Oblivion, i never really enjoyed Morrowind, and Skyrim was .. meh

well the first time i played skyrim, the whole dragon thing was awesome, but i lost that feeling much quicker then oblivion.

Skyrim was exactly that....meh

The first time I saw the Telvanni towers
The X days until Oblivion videos aired, the anticipation was insane
When we got the first screenshot of a khajiit in Skyrim
Anytime I sit down and read one of the in-game books

Oh yes, they definitely got the looks of the different races to look astonishing. I couldn't believe the detail of the different races. I am talking about skyrim, obviously.

every time i hear Oblivions exploration music.... ANY OF IT !!

Entering Blackreach for the first time, and then Sovngarde at the end.

The sky in sovngarde was beautiful...

i actually thought Sovngarde was a bit Dissapointing
but Blackreach was good, i explored it for quite a while


now, TES moments that made my day ...
Finishing Oblivions main quest ... while sad, it was very satisfying

Martin was a great man, would have been a good leader.

Many, many...

The first time I played Daggerfall, had never seen anything like that before (nor since, really). I was on a friend's computer, taking his character out and around in the world that just went on and on forever.

When I first started Morrowind, I was so used to games that looked big but really tunnelled you into cramped environments, like Fable. Exploring around Seyda Neen, I got to the edge of the rocky land that encapsulates Fayoda Mamea, and figured, "oh, this must be the edge of the world." But then I found a pass, and again, just kept going and going.

Getting out of the imperial sewers, I already had a pretty good idea of what to expect (endless world pattern?), but I was still blown away by that reveal. I just couldn't get over the draw depth and how you can see the White-Gold tower from pretty much everywhere in the province. I miss flying, though.

A few other notes, from across the board:
Daggerfall pub music
The Painted World
Tribunal's varied and massive underground
Books, books, books
Fighting Vivec as a werewolf

I remember when first played Morrowind I couldn't figure out how to hit with weapons, so I just quit for like half a year. Then I got interested in it again cause of some friends and found out on the wiki how to hit. So when I finally killed my first enemy I felt like a boss.

My first Daedric weapon. It was an arrow and I was melee but I still felt boss.

When I defeated the Gray Prince with my fists and magics.

The first oblivion gate, but they got boring after the seven thousandth time.

Using the skeleton key to unlock Aela the Huntress`s chastity belt. Hehehe...

And who can forget the giant slaughterfish fight!?!

Fort Grief. Aleron was moaning over and over about just how horrible it was that we were going to die at the hands of skilled murderers.

And there I was, grinning like a Cheshire Cat at the notion these cold-hearted mercenaries let me come onto the island fully armed.

Oh, yes: we played.

Definitely in Morrowind, when you and Dagoth Ur exchange questions and answers before your battle. But the line that gets me every time?

"What a fool you are. I'm a god! How can you kill a god? What a grand and intoxicating innocence!"

Grand and intoxicating, indeed.

He got so intoxicated that he died.

Dagoth Ur was one of the few things that didn't turn me away from Morrowind. But a moment that made me almost jump with joy was beheading that [&@%!] Elenwen and running Ondolemar through while the entirety of Understone Keep did nothing to stop me. Even Ondolemar's men just looked the other way and whistled.

I agree. I think Oblivion had a better landscape, and Cheydinhal in my opinion, is the most beautiful town in all of Tamriel.

I think I preferred Skingrad.
I have one. The first time I played Skyrim on PC. That was 2 days ago

I'm a big lore nerd, especially the obscure stuff, so all the references to things like painted cows and kalpas in Skyrim gave me nerd joy.

The sightless pit, just beautiful.
Blackreach of course, was really quite spectacular.
Speaking with Paarthurnax, not that he had all that much to say, but just the feeling that this creature was truly ancient and knowledgable always gets me, which is why I adored the chance you got to speak to Sovereign in ME1, and the Leviathan in ME3, and also the reason why I regret every dragon kill I make.
Jumping from bards leap and being rewarded for it by talking to a ghost who didn't make it.
