Skyrim was probably the most hype I had ever been for a release of a video game, which is pretty amazing, considering I'd never even touched and barely heard about the Elder Scrolls before.
I've re-played Skyrim so many times that its crazy, the only other game that has even come close is Dark Souls, which I consider to be my favorite game despite coming back to Skyrim more often. I've played as mages, thieves, warriors, rangers, nightblades, and spellswords in Skyrim. Its the versatility of building your own class that makes Skyrim so great. You just don't see that in many other games.
Exploring the plains outside of Whiterun with the iconic Dragonborn armor and seeing the pre-historic-like Mammoths and Sabretooth cats. Right up with that is my first encounter with the Falmer. It was in some random cave close to Winterhold or Windhelm, I don't even remember. Scared the **** out of me. Does anyone else think they look like those weird mutant people from the movie Pandorum?
