Time Spent:

The Bottom Line:

"Immersive"

So there is this game called "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" and if you haven't heard of it. Then where have you been? I'll make this short and sweet because what I will say is just what everyone else is saying. -giggles-


Graphics:
Amazing, every detail has been well placed. Each mountain and town feels different and has a different style. Character models are -much- better than Oblivion. Character creation is amazing, it's great to create a character that is obviously unique to the world around them.

Gameplay/Content:
You can travel -Anywhere-! Seriously! It was so cool to be able to climb these largely scaled mountains. It's quite refreshing to be able to make your own style of gameplay in Skyrim. Sling spells at people, swing an axe or a sword; or do a mix of all of them. There is quite a lot to do in Skyrim. It's immense, a bit daunting from the scale of things to do but it makes up for it in fun. NPCs are actually a joy to talk to and see what they say as well as how they react to what you do. I.E.: If you wield magic some npcs will take notice and comment on it. It's really cool feeling like they -actually- acknowledge you. It was especially interesting to hear some comments and allusions to Oblivion and Morrowind.

Overall:
It's worth getting, if not now then later. Because this game will keep a person busy for a long time. I'm about 40-50 hours in and there is -still- a lot for me to do. I'd highly recommend this to anyone. Even if they are new to the Elder Scrolls, they will wish they had been in it before. This game is refreshing and enjoyable. Be who you want, do things how you want, and carve your name in the history of Skyrim.
