i searched for anything relevent to this and found nothing, so feel free to close if there already is one. personally, my favorite moment is when your walking around anvil around 9:00 pm, the city music is playing, and you walk by a khajiit who says "hey! your the one they call the divine crusader!". then i walk up to then inn, get a room, and then wait to watch the sunset. ..... either that or moment when i just get done killing 3 trolls on low health wearing nothing but sheogoraths regailia and a steel longsword. ..... or when martin says "you must get me to the temple of the one! lead on, my friend," and you click on follow me so it goes "Lead on, my friend... I'm with you." (that would make a great sad ending for a movie)

And yes i know i only used oblivion ones, whatever.

So what are some of your favorite moments - sad, happy, frightening, anything

My favourite moment was a few weeks ago when http://www.gamesas.com/bgsforums/index.php?showtopic=1039662&st=40&p=15082969&#entry15082969 happened:



I found I was so wrapped up in the character that it literally stunned me to see the guard dead at my feet, and all because of me. I could feel the horror and guilt that filled my character. That is when I knew this game had me hooked.

My favorite moment was in "Morrowind", but I'd better put this in spoilers since this is the General Discussion forum:

The levitation in "Morrowind" was also great, as were two of the tombs: Hanan's and the Viking-style boat burial.

I really liked the moment my character and Martin walked out of the chapel of Bruma and were saluted by it's citizens, it was one of the few moments wich made the Crisis feel really like a grand happening...

Also I like just being at the priory of the Nine, it's just such a peacefull home for the knightly order and the crypt of the old knights and their stories of how they failled (now I say this, and readed the one above me, it's a bit like the cave of the incarnates XD) to collect all the relics...

Other scenes is like the attack on the IC and the only one I got in Morrowind (never did the vanilla MQ)
was when Hircine in bloodmoon stood before you and the beginning and the end of the maze...

Wow, that's pretty much exactly what I was going to say. Those moments are so great, and they make the hairs on the back of my neck stand up.

I think another memorable moment is simply stepping off the boat/escaping the sewers for the first time in Morrowind/Oblivion; everything looks so nice.

I love this part too. I'm a svcker for moments like that.

I started playing the games with Daggerfall, when it was new, but I just never got into it. It was too complicated and diffuse for the kid I was then, raised as I had been on straightforward, linear RPGs like Dragon Warrior and Final Fantasy and the old SSI games-- Pool of Radiance and Curse of the Azure Bonds and those. I played Redguard all the way through, but somehow to this day don't remember hardly anything from it. But when I finally played Morrowind.....

Actually, the first really memorable moment-- the first time I realized that this was going to be a truly memorable game-- was when, fresh with the sense of honor I got from giving Fargoth's ring back, I talked to Arrille and found out that one Hrisskar Flat-Foot was having money problems. "Well sure," I thought, "I'll help the poor soul out, 'cuz that's just the sort of good guy I am!" And yeah-- anyone who's played the game knows how that one works out. But to be at such an early point in the game and already be faced with a moral dilemma that profound-- that was so deeply impressive to me.

So.... after exploring close to Seyda Neen (and being killed by mudcrabs and slaughterfish), I decided to set off a bit further afield, and started walking up the road to the west. I hadn't gone far before I saw something odd laying in the middle of the road. It looked like....... a book? Then, just as I was approaching it, I hear this scream of "Aiyeeeeeee!" somewhere up above me and look up just in time to see a guy in a fancy robe plummet to the ground and collapse, dead. THAT was one of the best moments in the game, easily. Such a thoroughly bizarre and ultimately pointless thing to have happen. It doesn't advance any quests or anything-- it just...... happens.

And then, as so many of us have no doubt done, I wandered around Seyda Neen for a while, being killed by bandits and wizards and cliff racers and ancestor ghosts, before I finally started to get a grip on what I was doing and managed to finish up all of the immediate goals around there and set off for Balmora. And after numerous adventures along the way (I feel sorry for anyone who took the silt strider straight to Balmora the first time through), I finally got there, and I so vividly remember coming around a bend in the trail and seeing it all spread out in front of me. Walking in through the gates and just wandering around in awe, looking at the buildings and the people and the river and...... that was such a huge moment.

There were a lot of memorable moments after that (naked Nords, a scamp who lives with Orcs and sells stuff, my first visit to Ald Ruhn, first sight of the Ghostfence, happening on the Cuirass of the Savior's Hide, findng the hidden section of Maravyn Tomb, fighting Umbra, going into the Cavern of the Failed Incarnates.......), but that first moment when I walked into Balmora has just stuck with me.

What a game.

Morrowind.
When Jiub asked me what my name is, and the creaking sounds of the boat.
I was addicted after that.

With or without mods? With mods it would probably be the first time i tried one of the major overhaul mods, namely MMM, i was stunned by everything that changed and was added.

Without mods, it would probably be my first Lucien Lachance visit, i was totally freaked out! I set my character to sleep for a large number of hours, so i was confused when i saw how it finished quickly and totally freaked out when Lucien started talking.

Let's see:

3. Looking at a clear night sky ( in Morrowind, Oblivion, and Shivering Isles)

when i first got the game i didnt actually play it i just messed around

so i stumbled across shady sam decided to kill him then the guards where chasing me so i hijacked a horse and road it clear to kvatch seeing the oblivion gate i wonderd what the hell is that thing so i ran through it not actually going in so i ended up inside of kvatch where i was brutally murderd be scamps

the end

another moment happened when i told glather that the people where spying on him i said i wouldnt kill them so he went on a killing spree but i stole the key and dropped mehrunes razor on the ground so he picked it up since i was a high level when i got it it was very powerful and ultimately he ended up killing most of skingrad

Stepping out of the Census and Excise office in Seyda Neen and thinking to msyelf "This Fargoth guy is dumb, I wish I could kill him". Only to do that very thing about 30 seconds later. My second favorite moment was being quickly dispatched by the guards after refusing to go to jail. "This is awesome, there's freedom and meaningful choices/consequences" what I still consider the greatest RPG to date was cemented in my psyche as not just the pinnacle of the genre, but the very crux of gaming as a whole.

The quieter moments always get me. The whole beginning of Morrowind was excellent. Being awoken from a strange dream by Jiub on creaky, leaky old boat only to face an even stranger reality. Getting ushered through the Census and Excise office out into the beautifully dreary village of Seyda Neen. That was great.

My favorite moment though, has to be my EPIC journey to Balmora. Well....it seemed epic at the time. :hehe: My first real adventure in Morrowind! It was a simple enough task; deliver a package to a man in Balmora. But I just couldn't resist straying from the path here and there! Maybe getting a little sidetracked. Maybe getting a little lost. Maybe getting into a bit of trouble.

*le sigh* I don't think I'll ever get to play another game like Morrowind ever again. The times were good while they lasted, though.

Since I've yet to start Morrowind (have it, installed it, but only watched the intro so far)...

1. Pumping my fist after completing The Ultimate Heist (and probably a few other sneak quests). Good thing I did that on a day off, because the rush would've kept me up for a while.
2. Replaying Whodunit? for sheer fun. Because it's so fun to switch up the order each try.
3. Finding Kvatch for the first time and getting OWNED.
4. BURNING DOGS! Because that was too absurd for words. As befits the Madgod.

When the tutorial is done so I can go on my adventures

hahah that moment perhaps has the most....sentimental value of all the moments

responses in red

Both the Cavern of the Incarnate and the final dialogue with Dagoth Ur in Morrowind. Anyone who's played knows what I mean. I can't explain it in a post.

getting done with a quest out in the mountains and when turning to find my way home I see the IC miles away as the sun is comes up...

i sort of liked the moment in KotN where your floating up above the imperial city.... first time it happened to me i was like "hmm, a loading screen? WTF?! ooohhh....nice view." :blink:

Oh, yes! That actually was quite an impressive moment.
And when I defeated Umaril the first time and went to the "spiritual plane" or whatever to call it. When that bastard-sorcerer-king finally died and I started falling I was like "WTF!?", but I somehow managed to think fast enough to pick up his sword which was falling beside me. And since I didn't even think about picking it up after the first time I killed him, that felt quite cool to me.

There's usually a new/favorite moment every time I play. I gamed last nite for about 4 hours, for instance. Favorite moment last nite? I was in some Ayleid ruin, in a huge room up above a group of mages. They kept throwing poison and weakness to poison spells at me, but kept hitting the balcony's guardrail. I was also able to dodge their spells when they finally did manage to get one past the rail. All I had were a bunch of ordinary iron arrows, and I kept plucking them down at the mages. :hubbahubba:

I usually do bow/arrow fights in 3rd person mode, just cuz it's more challenging. Because of this, I usually miss more than I hit my enemies. But for some reason, I kept hitting these mages half the time.


"You'll never take me...OOOOF!!!!!"

Felt like a hero as I managed to take two of THEM down before running out of arrows.

The first time I went beyond the Ghostfence in Morrowind and got totally lost in the Ash Storms, and kept running into or barely avoiding all sorts of nasties. I had not yet learned to bring levitation gear
Also, the tribal cavern you have to run thru for the first Ashlander tribe's quest. Spooky place, very atmospheric.

Entering the home at Applewatch to find the Black Hand surrounding the mutilated corpse of Lucien Lachance. It upset me and I had so much pity for Lucien. That was very well done.

Morrowind, the first time I entered the cities of vivec and Balmora. That was when I was hooked.

My favourite moment was when i entered the Kaves of the Khartag Point ( SPOILER: when you get that corpus...). I was so scared, the only thing i wanted to do was to get OUT. I didn't even look for things to loot (and there were pretty good things in there). I mean what a relief when i was outside, I litteraly sighed and seid to me: Thank god that this is over!
