I have too many to list a favorite...
Lydia and I got in trouble at Markarth (bug) and were fleeing because they wouldn't just take me to jail, so the whole city wanted our heads. In all the turmoil and flying arrows I had lost Lydia. The guards outside the city were all over me and I didn't want a bigger bounty, and staying to fight would risk Lydia so I was taking arrows in the back and my only option was to run. So I kept running for quite some time because they like to follow a long ways. I happen upon a Foresworn camp and it's on. These guys were pretty tough too, but I managed to take them all down. I look up and there is one just standing there, a female with a huge rack. I thought maybe she's a quest giver or something so I raised my shield and slowly approached her. She just stood there and as I got about 2 feet away I notice a figure running up right behind her out of the foggy background, and the foresworn screams "Are you ready to die?" and half a second later a sword pops out of her chest and she archs her back in pain! It was Lydia who came up behind her and impaled her!
My character is a werewolf who resists all the urges to change, and when Lydia was killed by some vampires my character was pretty upset. That night he got drunk on about 15 bottles of mead and decided to go hunt some wildlife in beast form. Along the road by the river he ran into a saber cat, then a pack of bears and ripped them apart. Then a small pack of vampires showed up just traveling on the road! What delight! They tried some silly spell casting on me but barely got their taunts out before I was eating their face. It was pretty awesome to get revenge in beast form on the very kind that took his first love.
Fus Da Rah'd 2 frost trolls off of this mountain with the steepest slope I've seen. It was epic because I was facing an elder dragon up there by this word wall and this stupid troll starts flanking me while I had low HP and I just turned and shouted at him and blew him off the face of the earth, lol. Then I fought the dragon and killed him while the other frost troll was trying to reach me. I just finish the dragon, raise my shield to block the troll and I circle around a bit to get the best view of the world, my shout is recharged and I blast him down to meet his friend, LOL.
When I forged my first glass weapons, then enchanted them. I felt SO badass. I hadn't really used dual power attacks yet and I got that dual wielding perk at the same time I got the glass weapons so that was a huge combat upgrade for my character. I was slicing and dicing anything to death with one power attack for the most part. I finally felt like a tank where I had enough HP and good armor to dual wield like a man.
