The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Fantasy and freedom

I will begin by highlighting the points that I did not like the game. I think the vast majority of its features are excellent, however there are some missions that have a very simple and boring plot.

This applies to the missions of the Legion and Nordic. They are boring missions that force you to go from one point to another clearing enemy camps. A poor argument compared to the quality of the game. The unions are too short and make me some classes are a bit unbalanced. An archer must lamear sometimes hard to survive, while a warrior with shield and weapon to a hand reaches a point where it is difficult to knock down.

In this version of PC admit I have not had hardly any error or bug while playing. People may say that the game has many bugs, but I say it has almost none.

Now focusing on the positives, the game has a juagabilidad more than excellent. If we add a decent story over a soundtrack excellent, plus a few graphics to match a title like that, plus an outstanding technology for what this game is huge, the note would end at 9.7.

The mapping is immense, also a very important aspect is that the dungeons are not repeated. 5 people worked exclusively in the design of the dungeons, creating more than 5000 different parts. This way when entering a dungeon will see a mixture of a selection of these parts. The combinations are almost endless and will never have the feeling that we are repeating a dungeon, I repeat, NEVER.

Explore brings significant benefits, and choose which missions you do first not at all negatively impact the game.

The excellent sound. Excellent sound track and translated and dubbed into Castilian TOTALLY.

Very good graphics. And random epic battles with dragons in the open.

An extremely good gameplay. Fixed many bugs in the approach of the predecessor of this game. In all respects the truth. Class system, talents, combat, leveling and leveling of creatures ... Exploration, equipment, lighting, battle system. Quite a few things that affect our fun while we play.

Duration and level of difficulty: Both decent and adapted to each player.

This game will mesmerise you, and suck you right in. Get it.

The hype didn't disappoint. Being a gamer new to The Elder Scrolls franchise and Skyrim being my first foray into the world, I say this is what you really call a game.

The graphics are top-notch, and if you are still yearning for even more impressive jaw-dropping visuals, there is a huge library of mods out there to cater to your needs, from gameplay to the UI and music. It's that accessible. Your game will always be fresh, thanks to a huge and incredibly great modding community.

Skyrim's story is fairly easy to grasp, you are a Dragonborn whose purpose is to rid the world of dragons (durr) that have returned, fortelling a prophecy of the end of the world basically. Tons of side quests and missions that easily gives breaks on the main story. And they are good side quests in themselves.

The soundtrack is a standout, get it if you can. It's as epic as they come.

Get this game, and transport yourself into another world. It's an incredible game, something I have not experienced and it really blew me as far as Fus Ro Dah!!! can.

Skyrim Review

Being a long time customer of the Elder Scrolls series, Skyrim was also a must-buy game. Thus, after spending 100+ hours into Skyrim, I have come to share with you my experiences. Skyrim is a very open-world and in-depth game. Much lore can be learned from reading the books that are scattered around the world and by talking to the NPCs. This installment in the Elder Scroll series however, is much more "linear" than the previous ones. I'm using the word "linear" very cautiously, as Skyrim is by no means a on-the-rails game. It's very open ended and you could play for hundreds of hours without touching the main storylines. However, there is a strong incentive for the player to go through the main storyline, as it gives the player more powers or would otherwise be known as Shouts. Aside from the main storyline, you'll be dragged into a war-ridden world, where two factions are fighting: the Imperial Army and the Stormcloak rebels. Both fighting for "justice", you'll have to choose between the two. This side-story alone can take up a good 20-30 hours (with brief periods of exploration). The visuals in Skyrim are also a wonder to behold. The vanilla Skyrim has great graphics, even on some of the lower settings, it still is a solid looking game. The best part of Skyrim however, as silly as it may sound, was the soundtrack. The soundtrack was one of the best I've heard since Portal's ending theme. I have spent a good 10 minutes sitting on the main menu, listening to the main theme song. If you ever get time, please consider listening to the Sons of Skyrim (the main menu soundtrack). This is undoubtedly one of the greatest games released this year. It did not disappoint and lived up to expectations. Overall, this is definitely worth a good bang for your buck.

A masterpiece that can keep you entertained for a VERY long time

Like Oblivion before it Skyrim is an everlasting gameplay experience that will always give you something to do and a place to go, its dynamic quest system is really smart and the story is good enough to give you a reason to play and get involved in the world around you.

You have so much freedom in how you build your character, that while you can spend months playing just your first character you could then do it 10 times over again with a new character based on a different build. Say go archer, then meele, then spell caster, then summoner.

Nothing has you locked down in this game and your free to experience it the way you want and for that I think this game rates at the top of its kind.

This genre is not for everybody, but for those that it is it will become one of your most favorite games. The cost to time ratio just destroys pretty much any other game you can get making it a very worth while investment.

Lets not forget the huge community backing so you can expect so much player created content, mods and fixes to make it even better.

Loving this game.

I've bought a bunch of great games lately - mostly on account first anticipating and now owning a new graphics card - and this one is the one i've far and away played the most. It's beautiful, it's so open and possibility laden. Feel like i've barely even scratched the surface of the main quest and yet i'm already i'm up to something 16-17 hours play time. It's just so more-ish. Play for what you think will be an hour, and an hour comes and goes and you find there's just this one more thing you want to do here, or that to collect there, or a skill which is on the cusp of upgrading to the next level which will open up a whole pile of other things over there... That would actually be my only warning/complaint, which is a funny kind of one - if you start it be prepared to lose a lot of time. Very addictive.
