I have been let down so many times in this year of gaming 2011. So many over hyped titles, so many disappointments. I never lost hope in my beloved gaming. Being an older gamer, my taste has become finer and my passion is as stone. So few games out there that really hit at the heart for me, Skyrim is one those few.
So many good things about this game, much improved from Oblivion. The one I love the most is the fact that you are no longer tied to skills you chose before. You may honestly choose to be ANY type of hero/villain you want to be AND change your mind at any point in the game. Gold.
Exploring has not lost its luster, if anything, it has gained some. When I explore without a companion (mercenaries for hire, or house calls), I really feel the world is genuine and dangerous. The change in settings is wonderful, and the varied gameplay just from your surroundings is a diamond in the rough, so much replay ability!
The story, the characters, the side quests, the settings, the game-play, all deserve extreme high praises. The magic is improved upon greatly, and THE DRAGONS! Every fight is heart pumping and you can make it all your own! The new "kill" animations are a "killer" way to finish a dragon fight. The dragons are also random, I was walking out of my dorm area at the College of Winterhold and one landed right in front of my face and we battled to the death!!...I won first try!
You cannot get your Skyrim experience through my words! You must rent, and give it a go! Skyrim will not be for all, but it will stun Elder Scrolls fans and sign on many new ones to the fight for good and honor!
The title of my review is my first characters name. I am an Argonian Assassin. My loyalty lies with no one, yet, and the bow and dagger are my weapons of choice. Stealth and Illusion are my game, but if you interrupt me I will burn you with flame. Be proud of your creation, it is one of the best experiences in the game. You are dragon born, you are Dovahkiin.
