The Bottom Line:

"Masterpiece"

Where do I start... This game is absolutely amazing.

Just so everyone knows this review is based off of the 1.5 patch and lots of awesome skyrim nexus mods like Deadly Dragons, Wars in Skyrim, HD skyrim, and tons... I mean tons... more that are to die for.

Here goes the list:

GRAPHICS: I've fully modded this game with every HD mod there is on Skyrim nexus and this game is amazingly awesome looking. I was even mesmerized with only Vanilla Skyrim but now... this world is gorgeous. The details in peoples clothes, the terrain, mountains, down to the misc. object on a desk is full of detail and never ugly.

GAMEPLAY: Extremely fun and addictive in the leveling up system. I was first skeptical with the whole "use this weapon or spell to level it up specifically" but it is an amazing system that allows you to become whoever you want to play with. Dont like spells? then just bash people in the head and you can level up differently. The only thing that is kinda repetitive is the swings of swords. You eventually see the same moves over and over but it is still somewhat satisfying when you do them. Patch 1.6 is supposed to have more moves (cant wait)

SOUND/MUSIC: The music is very memorable just like Morrowind. I can hum the main song all the time and thats a good thing. The atmosphere sound is great and specific mods can even make it better!

LOOT: Not the best loot system (like diablo) but it makes you want to look for that item that is better than what you have now. Since I have full Dragon armor (skyrim mod, but have to work for it) it really feels like I've worked hard for what I was getting and it is very satisfying. TONS of weapons, armor, misc items to create!

STORY: Story is actually very awesome but the only reason I give it a 9.5 out of 10 is the ending. It is not as satisfying as the game itself, but it doesnt make the game horrible. All in all, the voice acting and the side quests are absolutely amazing and will keep you going for hours.

ALL IN ALL: 9.5. Amazing game, amazing mods, amazing music/sound, fun gameplay, but disappointing end-ish game story.

I recommend this to every person out there that wants a great game
