Awesome / Beyond Skyrim

• It is hard not to be in awe that first time you walk across the Pale Pass border and see Cyrodiil stretched out in front of you, while the track "Maker of Worlds" plays in the background and hints at the vastness of the new land you have just walked into. And, as the tantalizing glimpse of the Imperial City in the distance reminds you, it is merely the first step in a much bigger journey.
• The fact that several NPCs, like the border officer Centos Durius and the Thalmor agents in Bruma, do indeed recognize your character as the Dragonborn (and even have alternative dialogue if you have not gained that title yet). Such a level of reactivity is altogether very rare in vanilla Skyrim, and it feels very gratifying to actually experience your character getting quite a bit more of the recognition and respect that is usually in extremely short supply.
