A Landmark in genre
Platform For Display: PC Edition: Legendary
Probably one of the best games of the last few years, a landmark in the genre. Now you may ask, is this game perfect? is it so awesome that you can't stop playing? what is so special about this game? Well it is pretty simple, no the game is not perfect, in fact it is full of bugs, it is indeed awesome, but you can and will get tired of it, you will also stare at the screen asking yourself "what the hell just happened, why did i die?" the amazing thing about this game is its imperfection, strangely enough its what makes the game shine. The game is huge and random its impossible to predict everything so it has a lot of bugs, those bugs have been ironed through a series of updates, and with community updates (we will address the community later in the review) the story is not really its forte but it is ok for an RPG, since this game gives you so much freedom it is normal that the narrative suffers a bit, it could have been a lot better, but you would completely loose the freedom feeling you have while playing, the sound in the game is good but a bit repetitive, the music is really good but again repetitive, as for the graphics, well it really depends on what computer you play it in, but seeing this game is from 2011 the graphics do not shine, and it uses directx9 which by that time was already outdated but if you have a powerful rig the graphics look good even for a 2011 game and with community support you will see stuff that can be compared to nowadays games, as for the game length around 80 hours? the main quest is not enormous but the game with the dlc and the sidequests and all the exploring is at least 80 hours, now for the last and most important feature of the game community support and mod-ability, this is where it shines, the graphics look outdated? apply an ENB created by the community and make it look awesome, finished the game? download more quest mods, want to play with other races? download them, want a house for your hero? download it, do you want to turn skyrim harsh and cold climate into a tropical island? you can do that as well! the options are endless and only the imagination is the limit, should you buy this game?

Steam is the problem
Platform For Display: PC Edition: Legendary
I've heard Steam is the problem so much, but it isn't a problem with my setup, other than kicking you off the game cold every 20 hours or so. Just Quicksave (F5) often. The game is beautiful and somewhat buggy, as befits Bethesda Softworks games. If you've played Oblivion, you're used to that, but Skyrim has about half as many bugs and is about 4 times as beautiful. Use the lowest or next to lowest video settings if you don't have a new, uberfast video card. Otherwise the action won't be acceptable. [Puzzle Rant:] My biggest problem with Skyrim is the puzzles, (about every quest has 1 or 2 puzzles), the puzzles are too often extremely difficult and cannot be solved without googling and reading online extensively. Yes, at first the puzzles are solvable by searching and researching for 10 to 20 minutes and re-observing everything extensively. But then some of them get way, way harder, and no amount of searching or intuition can help at all. This is aggravating. Note to developers, I've played a LOT of puzzle games and if you insist on putting puzzles in a game that make it impossible to finish quests without consulting Google, you are breaking the rules to let the clever cheaters advance faster than the smart and observant people. You might as well include a step by step manual with the game. But then, I guess they are really selling more games to the clever cheaters. And if you're smart and not a cheater, only do half the quests and still be working on the game 2 or 3 years from now. [Rant over.] The game has thousands of quests and one thing leads to another to send you into a frenzy of activity. Also this game offers a chance to be for one political group and against them at the same time, over and over. It's hard to be loyal to anything, which makes it more interesting and complicated. There is a lot of philosophy and justice/injustice built in with the option of doing the wrong thing or acting petulant with the character, again much more interesting than even Oblivion. You can hire mercenaries to come with you on quests, and you get many other characters who you beat in a fistfight or get awarded for service who will go with you on quests. So the game has a gang style feel which is more interesting. You can even adopt one of the adorable children who are in every city, acting like 6 to 10 year old children. Also you can buy a dog! That's fun, but be careful and don't kill him or your horse with careless attacks. There are a lot of parallels with Oblivion, but Skyrim is really far superior as a game. I held off buying this game for awhile because of the Steam rants. I was wrong, get it, if you loved Oblivion, you're really going to love Skyrim. 5 star rating not because it's the perfect game, but because it deserves them. ... show more

Extremely challenging and frustrating
Platform For Display: PC Edition: Legendary
Incredibly challenging even on the easiest difficulty setting, with jiggly camera and mouse controls that make even clicking on an inventory item hit-or-miss, difficult to use menus and non-intuitive interfaces, not to mention nearly total absence of a demo or introduction area, this game basically throws a player into the deep end and you're left floundering trying to figure out everything out on your own. Beyond that, the game glitched and froze during my first hour of playing. I couldn't figure out what had happened, couldn't get it unfrozen, and the game eventually shut itself down somehow, before I could get to the task manager to force-quit it. I can't possibly imagine how this game could have won any awards, much less Game of the Year. Sure the graphics are absolutely gorgeous, and the sound is great, but when it comes to gameplay, this game is nearly unplayable. For starters, it's a huge challenge to even control your character, and if you can't do that, how are you supposed to accomplish anything? The camera and mouse are both so wobbly, that doing things like looking at an item and getting the mouse cursor just right to get the option to pick it up is an exercise in frustration. I never could figure out what the icons in the top slider-bar thing at the top of the screen were, because when I tried to move my mouse cursor up there to hover on them, it just makes my character look up. I guess I am really stupid not to have intuitively known what they are. I thought this would be a fun, entertaining adventure-fantasy game, and I had heard such good things about it. It's practically a cultural phenomenon! There must be something seriously wrong with me, I guess, because all I accomplished in this game was repeatedly dying (even on the easiest setting) while using items when I didn't want to use them because the interface sucks, and not being able to find my way around because the map is incomprehensible. I am a very poor video game player, I admit that, but I would have thought the easiest difficulty setting would at least allow me to fumble my way through and enjoy the adventure. This game seriously could have used a tutorial option! I did not enjoy my attempts at playing this game at all. I wish I could get my money back. ... show more

The best game I have ever played
Platform For Display: PC Edition: Legendary
Transferring from Xbox360 skyrim to maxed out HD texture pack skyrim on the PC is a mega change. The graphics are beautiful!!! The Xbox 360 graphics look garbage when compared to PC. Maybe I enjoy it so much because I'm so familiar with it. Once you get into, you won't be able to stop. DLCS: I gotta be honest. I have only played 2 out of 3 DLCS. I have so many quests to do that I haven't gotten around to playing the DragonBorn quests. From what I read of it, it looks awesome. So, for the other DLCS! Hearth fire: Amazing DLC!!! Some people may say it is poor, but I like it. I love the fact that you can build your own house, get married, or have kids. I had a "problem" with my wife so I downloaded a divorce mod. (That problem is my wife Senna. I got rid of her priest robes and gave her some other clothes. Now whenever I load into my house, she's in her underwear! Lol) I like it, and for the price it's a steal. Dawnguard: Now I haven't played much of this one either, but I joined up with the Dawnguard because I absolutely hate vampires. The quests are fairly easy, just don't get the vampire virus. (Sanguine virus or something like that) It's pretty fun. Update: I have finished he Dawnguard expansion pack. I have my game modded and I found everything from this expansion easy. I had no troubles beating the quests. The loot you acquire from this is mediocre. So I just gave it to my follower. There are several side quests for this that I haven't gotten around to, but I'm sure they're fun. DragonBorn: DragonBorn DLC is a pretty neat experience. You get to travel to soletheim, a land that originally belonged to Morrowdor. I just recently finished he main quests, and agin I found it pretty boring. It's a lot more exciting if you don't have op stuff. Conclusion: Get it. For twenty bucks, it's a deal!! I'll update if something is wrong with the game. ... show more

A truly amazing game
Platform For Display: PC Edition: Legendary
I want to start off by saying that Skyrim is one of the best games ever made. If you are unfamiliar with the Elder Scrolls series, then I will do my best to introduce you to the concepts. Imagine a huge open world filled with mountains, open plains, castles, abandoned forts, immense cave systems, and populated settlements dotted around the landscape. Now fill that world with dragons, civil war, and tons of monsters. That is what you get out of Skyrim. There are literally millions of quests to complete thanks to the new radiant quest system (albeit most of these radiant quests are more like jobs given to the player from different factions you have the option to join, which include things like killing this monster, clearing this dungeon, or threatening this person). You play as the dragonborn, the only one with the ability to permanently kill dragons by absorbing their soul, you must confront Alduin, a dragon whose appearance signals the "start of the end times" or end of the world. This version comes with all three DLC packs that are available for Skyrim, and they include: Dawnguard: adds two new factions to join, the Dawnguard (vampire hunters) and the Volkihar Vampires. You can choose to join either faction within the game. There is a ton of content to this DLC, but the gist is that the vampires want to blot out the sun so that they can wander during the daytime and no longer feel threatened. You can choose to help, or hinder them. Hearthfire: Adds a mechanic where the player can buy a plot of land and build their own home. Not much more than that other than a few new characters and items to go along with the houses. Dragonborn: Adds a whole new island, Solstheim, to the game. The player encounters the first dragonborn and battles him for control of an ancient power. The ancient dragonborn, Miraak, is in league with a deadric lord (evil gods that play in the affairs of mortals) whose plane of oblivion (the land of the deadra) the player can explore also. Also, if you get this game on PC, you have a slew of free content created by players like me and you provided through the Steam Workshop. There is also a site called nexusmods.com where there are even more and typically higher quality, though this site requires a paid membership to download anything over 2Mb, so use at your own discretion. Steam also allows a free download of the creation kit, a tool you can use to make your own mods and is the same tool the developers used to make the game itself. So, my recommendation is the get this game (come on just do it already, you know you want to) and reserve a lot of your time for it because you are up for one hell of a ride. ... show more

Enjoyable but uneven
Platform For Display: PC Edition: Legendary
I'll report up front that this was my first experience with an Elder Scroll game, so I was completely unfamiliar with the lore established through the first four installments. I'll even confess that I was a noob with RPGs in general, my history limited to Ultima Online in the stone age of 2D and a brief stint at World of Warcraft eons ago. I wanted a well-rounded single-player role-playing game which didn't need a persistent internet connection or a monthly subscription to enjoy; Skyrim seemed to fit the bill. Internet is a prerequisite and so is Steam in order to install the game. I tolerated it as, after that, a connection isn't required to play the game. I found the set-up scenes just enough to get a vague idea as to the 'sides', and the first quest (to get the hell out of Dodge -er- *Helgen* before becoming prisoner flambé) almost enough to get a grasp of the mouse and keyboard controls before being thrown into the world. Having a rollerball mouse made fine-tune movement a bit of a challenge for some time; I often found myself looking at the sky or getting a birds-eye view of my frantic running in circles as a wolf chewed on my arm. Training my fingers to the WASD way took a while longer. So, the game. I'm enjoying it overall. As this is the Legendary Edition with all three of the expansion packs, or DLC, there are dragons and werewolves and vampires. There’s crafting, smithing, and cooking to go along with the killing and looting. Hunters can prey upon the wildlife; gatherers can pluck the wings off of butterflies. Homebodies can have buildable houses, marriageable NPCs, and adoptable children who never grow up. Head out on the road and get distracted by all of the black icons on your compass bar (indicating an undiscovered location). Get sucked into caves and emerge after pitched battles with vicious living trees into lakes filled with slaughterfish. Trek across country and find booby-trapped dwemer ruins, head to the coast to the sight of shipwrecks; flee to the city to find little boys praying over mutilated corpses. This is Forrest Gump’s box of poisoned chocolates. It’s awesome. The graphics at first blush look amazing, with lovely color, depth and grandeur. The skies at night when the moon(s) are out are particularly breathtaking. Most of the world does seem to be grey much of the time, whether due to snow or drizzle, but I suppose it suits the region and makes the areas with greenery all the more welcome to view. Some textures could use improvement but I haven't bothered getting the official high-def pack or any mods. The sound, whether providing world atmospherics or situational cues, has enough variety to avoid monotony. The voice acting on the other hand, could use a lot more variety. Distinctive voices crop up on several characters all over the world which gives the impression only five people did all of the NPCs. NPC dialog loops are pretty limited as well, to the point where I go out of my way to avoid getting close to certain characters. I still don't know the name of that kid in Whiterun, but I sure do know he works for Belethor at the General Goods Store. I also know that the problem with Skyrim these days is that everyone is obsessed with death. That priest of Talos won't be shouting his annoying sermons in Whiterun anymore though; and if I didn't unload a ton of loot in Riften so often, that rude Grelka would be next. Some quests can seem repetitive; bandits, necromancers, or draugr, the main issue for me is whether or not I can avoid being dog-piled to death during a dungeon crawl. I will admit I was as staggered as my character was the first time one of the undead 'shouted' at me; and I was feeling a bit smug at that point that I had an advantage. Not so much. The AI for followers and enemies can be frustrating and laughable. Yes, Foresworn, the buddy you were just talking to must have been felled by the wind. Sure, Bandit Chief, that arrow I lodged into your eye socket is just a product of your imagination; now go back to your chair so I can take out your other eye. Please, Lydia, stop getting in the way of my arrows, stepping on every floor trap switch, or charging into battle when I'm trying to stay hidden. Not saying 'ow' at every turn in your snotty voice would also be welcome. To be fair, Lydia really doesn't match my play-style, which is sneak and snipe. I also like to climb mountains to get to my goal; Lydia (or any follower really) doesn't jump upwards and I get a few hours of peace before she catches up to me. I know I can dismiss Lydia, but I'll admit that, as decoy, she has her uses in some fights. Still, I infinitely prefer Serana, despite her habit of necro-ing the recently deceased before I get the chance to loot, as she's not only a powerful magic-user (an area I'm lacking) but favors ranged attacks and doesn't insist on putting herself in front of me and my drawn bow. Her voice is also more pleasant. Then there are the bugs and quirks. I hadn't played above a few hours when I saw the first mammoth drop from the sky. Since then, elk have been raptured, bears have been abducted then dumped back to Skyrim (they bounced too). Fast travel to cities seems to be an open invitation to vampires to slaughter innocent (and critical) NPCs before being put down. Fighting while mounted on a horse is a hopeless enterprise. I've also experienced the silent crash-to-desktop three times in the month I've played this game. Reloading and approaching an area from a different angle seems to work for some locations, but I haven't been able to get to Redwater Den yet. Lydia vanished during a giant-mammoth-dragon battle. I'm pretty sure she hadn't been launched into space by a giant club (I've both seen it and experienced it; it's pretty hilarious). About a game-week later, I shot at a figure approaching me out in the wilds with weapon drawn; turned out it was Lydia. D@mn it. One of the quests (Blood on the Ice) needed several reloads to advance properly; I hope no others are similarly borked. And, the quests. I'd dearly love the option to drop quests, or at least hide them, in my journal when I have no intention of completing them (no, sorry, I'm not going to cause a shipwreck) but which are foisted upon me simply because I was accosted by some stranger, looted an object from a chest, or read a book. Completely avoiding the Thieves Guild or the Dark Brotherhood, if one wants, seems nearly impossible. And at times I'd like more conversational options with quest-givers, such as telling narrow-minded obsessives like Isran or Delphine to shove it. All in all, I do enjoy playing Skyrim. There is enough evidence to indicate that a lot of attention went into the look and feel of the world; the world itself is packed with new things at every turn. I can’t blind myself that there are flaws and faults, some potentially game-breaking. But it is satisfying when I craft my own armor, or make ever more-powerful enchantments and potions, or manage to find another piece of a quest puzzle. And I still get a rush when I’m creeping through the underbrush toward yet another undiscovered ruin, fort, cave, or camp and then hear the sound, see the name, and watch the icon turn white. I now have a new location on my map. And I smile as I begin to evaluate who or what might be occupying said location, calculating what the body count will be (including wondering if my own will be one of them), and guessing what sort of loot I might acquire if I manage to make it through as I maneuver myself to a good position and ready my weapons to begin the attack. And then I save my game before I take the first shot, because I’m a sissy. ... show more

This game is one of the best Elder Scrolls game they have out there, if not the best! Skyrim brings you to the land of the nords, The Home of Tiber Septem! and brings you into conflicts that no other Elder Scrolls games have had Yet. Be a Mighty Warrior! A Sneaky assassin, A Curious mage! You can choose up 10 playable races! Starting from the Mighty Nords, All the way to the Sneaky Wood elves. Skyrims Gameplay is one of best so far in any Elder Scrolls game and It should be a great add to any gaming LIbrary. Why you should buy this game. For one, To enjoy the story and enjoy an open world just waiting to be Discovered. Skyrim has many treasures in it, But there are also monsters and even the Mighty Dragons! Game Play is simple and to the point and even the Talent trees are good. Everything about this game screams greatness! What I didn't like: The only thing I really didn't like about the game was some of the A.I. Obviously there are bugs, But luckily! You can install mods on the game to fix those problems. Speaking of the mods, Skyrim has many great mods you can download and quite frankly they make the game alot more fun too. But Overall, Skyrim is a great game and deserves a spot on anyones shelf or game Library. Skyrim isn't like Call of Duty or World of Warcraft, It's a single player game and a very fun one at that. If you have played the elder scrolls games such morrowind or Oblivian, You will obviously compare this game to them.. All accept this game does it better then Both. ... show more

Better graphics, but far worse game play experience.
Platform For Display: PC Edition: Legendary
The graphics are better than Elder Scrolls IV, Oblivion, but other than that the game is not nearly as much fun to play. You must have your hands linked to whatever you're going to use, so if you want to cast a spell, you have to go in to the tab menu, select the spell, and select which hand it will be used in. Whatever you had in that hand before is now unavailable until you go back into the menu and re-equip it. The menus are no longer intuitive. Your quest menu, for instance, no longer allows you to follow up on completed quests, which makes it impossible to find where you were when you got a piece of information or found something quest-related to another quest because you can no longer access the majority of information about the quest you were on when you found it. Interestingly enough, after playing Oblivion with every possible character/race/class combination from start to finish, it becomes obvious that many of the quests and maps are nothing more than rehashes of other locations and adventures that you completed in Oblivion. ... show more
