Skyrim is absolutely the BEST RPG ever made.
One of the best things about Skyrim is that you can never do a mistake in that huge world, you can join different factions like Thieves guild, Dark brotherhood, College of winterhold and the companions. And the best thing is your character. You can start of as a, Nord warrior and when you get tired of that, you can change armor, swap weapons, buy some spell tomes and learn new spells and put the difficulty a few steps down and your ready to go and live the world in a different way.
personaly ,i recomend it on XBOX or PS3 because i think it's a much easyer way to explore the world and the fact that it's so easy to to be dragged in to the world of cheating and modding. Modding can be okay if you choose the quest and player home mods or any not cheating mod.
