I Know what you all going to say this is late for a review oh the PS3 version is rubbish well your only half right it is late for a review but i wanted to wait until the Game of the year edition came out to finish all of the game (i don't trust putting my card details on PSN even before the hack), I noticed that when the reports came in about all the game breaking bugs that i must have a rare copy as their was only one or two at any given playthrough and they always benefited me, like the early hours accidentally attacking the mammoths and discovering the flying mammoths bug which disappeared after a while or random enemies frozen to the spot which helped me farm my skills (attacking them then healing them lol) it's only when bethesda attempted to fix those bugs that i experienced a game breaking bug (the swimming glitch which was easily avoided) fortunately for me there was an easy fix, now onto the review what can i say that has not already been said this game is by far one of the best games of all time and as a collector of over 30 years that's really saying something it has an excellent story, a very beautiful world and there's a lot to do. It does have some minor problems though which does not deserve to affect the score of the game like the lack varied of voice actors which at times is funny like if you run into a character that has the same voice as your companion (Lydia for most of my game playthrough then Serana after the Dawngard DLC I ended up choosing Lydia as my characters wife seemed wrong just leaving her to guard my house after all the time that was spend fighting dragons, bandits, sabre cats, giants etc plus my adopted children needed a mother to look after them whilst i was out adventuring with my vampire companion a warrior seemed the best choice as she could put up a better fight than a regular NPC like a merchant) also like in Oblivion and Morrowind the character models have not been given the attention that was made for the scenery but are still quite good, the highlight of the game (at least for me anyway lol) is the dragon fights particularly in the beginning it's quite tense and exciting after a while though you can take them down quite easily especially if you put the time in to farm your character to a ridiculous level which is why i was glad they introduced the legendary dragons to at least give me a bit of challenge, although it didn't last long once you get a good strategy it's easy. The little things of the game impressed me also like how much detail was put into the lore of Skyrim the books in particular are detailed and some of them are very interesting, the different groups you join are varied as well depending on what kind of Person you want your character to be, I chose the hero route so it was the companions (werewolf perk at the end was a great surprise as i went into the game without any spoilers) the Mages collage (even though with my character i liked two handed combat) the restoration alteration and illusion magic skills was the reason i joined and the Dawnguard group of vampire hunters (once i got the GOTY edition), through out the game your character is revealed to be the Dragonborn someone who is destined to rid the world of dragons who absorbs their souls gifting them with the shout, which the dragon souls give you most you need to unlock by finding special walls some have dragons protecting them and even a dragon Priest (who has some grear loot one defeated), early on your character doesn't believe it and thinks it's just Nord superstition but as the story progresses and you meet the graybeards everything falls into place, there are plenty of twists and turns along the way and i recommend this game to anyone who loves RPG'S or likes going on an adventure a true Masterpiece 10 out of 10 quick tip don't choose imperial (like i did in my first playthrough) or the khajit class for your character I'd go with the Nord, Orc or Redguard class (Which I did in my other playthroughs) they have the best stats and benefits by far.
