Skyrim

What is The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim ?

Skyrim is a RPG (Role-Playing Game), belongs to the The Elder Scrolls saga which started with The Elder Scrolls: Arena in 1994, it continued with the second part, Daggerfall in 1996, through the game that many people regard as the best, Morrowind in 2002, and the fourth, Oblivion in 2006. Until Skyrim, released  on 11-11-2011. Skyrim was developed by Bethesda Softworks. The map is a fantastic open world, where you will able to do anything, with levels which can be raised with increasing experience in different skills.


What is about the story?

You'll begin in the continent of Tamriel like a prisioner at the right time, Dragons are coming back, after escaping, you will discover that you are Dovahkiin or Dragon-born, this will be the main mission. Dragons are coming back, and you have to discover why and how to destroy them. There will be a lot of (maybe "a lot of" is an understatement) secondary missions.


What can you do in Skyrim?

Everything is the correct word, investigate the map ( it will allow you to, not only discover new places, but also find new missions), hire friends to help you, craft weapons, armors, potions, amulets ... cook, enchant items, trade, invest, buy a house, gathering materials, mine, sharpening weapons, smelting ores...
From the beginning you'll be able to choose  what kind character you wanna play, fully customizable (eyes, hair, head, colours...), with several races availables (human, breton, khajiit, argonian...) each one with uniques powers and characteristics.  


How is the game? (My opinion)

The game is simply perfect. Graphics are impressive, with a lot of different scenarios, mountains, rivers, forests, marshes really well made thanks in part to the graphics. 
The user interface is done for an easy and simple use by which you will adapt to the game from the beginning. 
The combat system is very successful in part by the combat skills and its variety ( one hand swords, two hand swords, archery, mazes, axes, never without forgetting the magic), that you will be able to use at any time, only limited by your character skills, and of course your own skills. 
The artificial inteligence of the NPCs is spectacular, only limited with a really few terrain bugs, which you hardly will discover.
The skill tree is amaizing, very complete, unfortunately is almost impossible to complete it, due to the hard that is to get skill points, due to this, you have to choose your primary skills if you wanna reach the maximum level.
The main story is exciting, the more you play, the more immersed you will be. And, although you sometimes might be tired about them, you will have a lot of secondary missions to "disconnect", and believe me, you will not find any game with so many missions. You will never get bored.

If you love the RPG games, and you have not played Skyrim yet, sincerely, I don't know what are you doing that you are not playing it now (well, yes, reading this hehehe). Hurry up! Move! Buy it! Play and enjoy it! It will bring you so many hours enjoying, for sure, more than 60 hours if you mainly play the main mission, if you play all the missions... I can't say you how many hours of fun you'll play.
