Seriously, remove that spoiler.
... glad you were surprised as some of us have not watched it yet.
I would say the saddest thing that happened to my character was having a dragon kill my wife when I was attacked at my home between quests and adventuring! He made a nice suit of armor that I put on a mannequin as a memorial..... :*(
Only thing I can think of off the top of my head was an incident a long time ago involving a dragon attack on Riverwood. It was a lengthy fight, and at some point the blacksmith's wife was killed in the crossfire and I didn't notice until after the dragon was finally killed next to the mill. I absorbed its soul and pushed through the gathering crowd that was gawking at the skeleton so I could be on my way. And there in the middle of the street was Alvor's wife's body and her daughter standing over it, having a breakdown. Was entirely unprepared for that.
My very first character was married to Jordis, and she went with me everywhere. She had been with me through a lot of level advancements, and I had gotten used to her being with me.
Once, we were hit by a ton of Falmer in some ruins somewhere underground, and when the dust settled I saw her body off to the side. I was really sad. I considered reloading my save but decided that this was one step in the saga of my character. I paid her the proper homage and went off deeper into the depths of the ruins.
I thought about her for a while too.
There was another time in I think maybe Markarth, I saw this girl asking her mom what dad was like, and the mom told her that she had her father's eyes. I wish I could remember where I saw that, it was realyl touching.
You're a good man, my friend. I humbly apologize if I was coming off too brash.
Frostflow Lighthouse,killed a lot of Falmer after going through it.
No, I never get emotionally attached to NPC's. I actually have a nasty habit of either not using them......or killing them.
Kodlak is the closest I've ever come to feeling a feeling about any NPC.
Can you spoiler tag what you originally posted? I'm curious what's so sad and dee pressing
Running into Hearthfire orphans after having the maximum number of adopted kids...
That would be super sad Ratwar, I never adopt kids because I am never home and when I do rarely make a visit home I forget to pick up a toy/dress for them.... I am a horrid Skyrim parent
I was about to say I never really felt sadness/depression while playing this game, but you're right about that one. Everytime I see Lucia, a little part of me dies.
But other than that, nothing. I do feel guilt/regret sometimes though. Like whenever a follower annoys me one time too many, I slaughter him in cold blood. Guilt, because I'm a murderer. Regret because I remembered I had an entire weeks worth of loot on him.
Balgruuf after taking Whiterun for the Stormcloaks.. actually, Whiterun in general after taking it for the SCs..
During a DB quest where I had to kill a certain married couple... I killed the wife, then reanimated her corpse and she fought and killed her own husband for me. She then stagged towards me moaning, before collapsing in a heap of dust. That was kind of horrible...
anytime i accidentally kill a bunny. That noise is terrifying.
I found these to be the most poignant:
