There are some moments that really make this game even more worthwhile. One example was when I joined the Imperial Legion and was charged with clearing an old fort of bandits. Fair enough, I kill the bandits (and rather disturbingly getting the decapitation kill-cam for all of them), except for the leader who is holed up in a tower firing arrows at me. So I make my way up the tower and decide to Fus!Ro! him and then attack him while he was stunned. What I did not expect was catching him in the feet with the Shout and watching him getting blasted off the tower, down the cliff and hitting every rock on the way down.....
Or even better, in the same playthrough, I was on my way to one of the Dwarven ruins as part of the Mage's College questline (yes, I am a Nordic, ebony armor wearing warrior with little magic beyond heal and the flames spells, what of it?), and I decide to travel to Kynesgrove as it was the closest settlement to the village. Only what happens? The town is attacked by not one, but two dragons, an Elder and a blood dragon. Naturally, part of me is going "CrapCrapCrapCrapCrapCrapCrapCrap!" but another part of me is going "Oh this is nice, I'll get enough dragon bones and scales to finish that Legendary level dragon armor for Aela". I get off my horse and fight one of the dragons as it faceplants into the ground and just as I'm about to kill it, my horse does the deed instead.... And prompted gets killed by the other dragon as it burns the horse to a crisp.
Incidently, Goats + The Seven Thousand Steps journey + Fire Breath = Lots of laughs as you watch the goat gets blasted off the cliff (I like to think they all end up hitting Temba Wide-Arms)
