Skyrim is this huge, massive map that is fit to accommodate cities, hamlets, dungeons, fortresses, ruins, caves, lairs, snowy mountains and what not. Its this fantastic world that draws you in completely and soaks up 100's of hours of gaming. The main quests and side quests are well balanced and the story line is very unique.
Just as expected Bethesda ups the amp with an awesome perks and skill tree that pushes you to upgrade higher and higher. Thieves Guild, Mages College in Winterhold, Dark Brotherhood, Daedric Quests, Companion Guild and the Civil War Rebellion are some of the various groups you can join and pursue their quests in this big, big world of Skyrim. Graphically the game is lush and the soundtrack is amazing. Obviously with such a huge game, there are going to be glitches and sort but its peanuts compared to the mammoth package of awesomeness this game packs in.
As Dragonborn you play the main quest and try to find the history of the dragons, their arrival and how to defeat them and this takes place over 19 missions and ultimate finale boss fight. Once you level up faster the game tends to get easy. Plus you can have a companion accompany you on your quests all the time once you purchase a house in some city and do some quests for the king. The cities of Skyrim are living breathing cities bustling with life & activities. Various types of weapons, armors, potions, runes, gems and artifacts send you hunting into the depths of Skyrim's treacherous landscape as you scour through ruins, dungeons & caves looking for it.
Upgrade systems in terms of enchanting weapons & making potions through alchemy are well sorted out. I had the most fun joining various guilds and doing these unique missions. Every Guild story can be some lesser game's main story line. They are so well made & crafted that it becomes actual fun just to uncover the story. Without a doubt one of the most deepest, detailed & well planned game I have ever played.
Much better than Oblivion on every count, Skyrim is one adventure RPG fans shouldn't miss out on.
