The elder scrolls: skyrim... whoa... i don't know where to start... This game, it's so amazing, from beginning to end... So far my review, huh, some idiot fanboy who doesn't know what to say! Well, Skyrim is one of those few games that grabs you by the balls in the first 10 minutes of playtime and doesn't loosen that grip in the hundred's of hours you play. You start of as a prisoner, and you're about to get decapitated. Of course this doesn't happen all to smooth, else you would be done playing after 10 minutes. No, there's a quick interruption. And what kind of interruption? A dragon, that is. Sir, yes sir, a dragon. What a splendid beginning. As expected the dragon causes havoc all around Helgen, the town where you were about to be executed. You see the other prisoners run away while the Imperials are dealing with the dragon and you decide that it wouldn't be a bad idea to follow them. Well, at least it's a better idea then getting crushed by a giant dragon. So after a quick tutorial in a tiny dungeon, your free to go. And that is where your journey across the holy land of Skyrim truly begins. You can choose to follow your new comrade to his hometown and get some food and quests for money, or just walk straight forward and explore all of Skyrim all by yourself. Yes, i know, it's epic. After a few missions someone asks you to go to the greybeards, some kind of elder mages, because it turns out that you are the dragonborn, the first in centuries that is capable of learning the ancient language of the dragons, and can therefor perform "Shouts"; ancient dragon words that do damage. Collateral damage, that is. Of course, i didn't "finish" the game yet myself, so i don't really know what is yet to come. But what I can tell you is that the game is worth every penny and it's an epic experience that'll keep you excited from beginning to... eternity. Buy this. I'm serious, that wasn't a question, it was a command.
