A few of the funniest moments I've had thus far:
I'm walking out of that first big city and a Bard walks up to me on a mountain trail by the crest of a waterfall. I tell him to sing me the song of the Dragonborn. He mentions something about hearing the Dragonborn's roar and then I shout at him and push him off the edge of the waterfall to his death.
I'm up in the northernmost areas and I'm noticing that there's not only one, but TWO dragons circling overhead. I go "oh shit!" and run into the nearest house I see because I didn't have any companions to tank for me at the time. I turn around and look into the house and my eyes widen as a super powerful wizard one-hit kills me. Kind of pissed, I reload the auto save which is a split second before I die. So instead of trying to dodge his icebolt, I turn around and run out of his house--into the two dragons. But he follows me! So I run and take cover and the dragons start fighting HIM. Whistling innocently I start hanging out behind a rock, taking potshots at both him and the dragons all the while. For the record, he won. I'd have rather faced the dragons.
Gamebryo Bugs: I walked into a guy's bedroom at the Wizard College and there he was, lying down on the "bed" and spinning around in circles. When I spoke to him, he kept spinning, just curled up into a ball and casually talking. Not as amazingly hilarious as the New Vegas starting guy's head rolling around, but pretty funny nonetheless.
PS: If you feel the game is lacking a little humor, try to find a quest from an insane god. (There are a few of these.) They aren't even close to as funny as a good Fallout quest is (oh my god the last DLC was amazing for that,) but the voice acting tends to be amusing.
I really came in skeptical about Skyrim because I disliked Oblivion so much, but they put a lot of work in to make it viable. For the most part they kept the good and fixed the bad. Combat just feels right. It's no Arkham Asylum, but everything just literally feels solid, meaty, like you're actually hitting someone with a weapon instead of grazing a hitbox. I'm kind of glad it's the same engine, just tweaked. It's a great engine to mod and the stuff from Oblivion will get ported over much quicker because it's running off of the same base stuff.
