Dragons,Werewolves,Vampires,Zombie-ish creatures,public executions,drinking contests against demi-gods,dogs that follow you faithfully and act as front line skirmishers for you this game has just about everything an RPG lover could want so far and I’m only on level 26.This is a great game.

Skyrim is without a doubt the best RPG I’ve played in a long time. I’ve noticed a few minor flaws, but overall the game is just…amazing! I highly recommend this game to anyone looking for a challenging but fun gaming experience. Plus the fact that is has dragons doesn’t hurt. lol

Having now gotten into the game a bit deeper I am still extremely impressed by all of it. The sheer volume of information available to you is staggering. There are books to read everywhere that have histories and stories and the wide range of activities you can become adept at from alchemy to ore smelting and weapon creation is amazing. I am over 20 hours into it and just beginning to scratch the surface. I may have to spend a day or two just learning the techniques of alchemy, and weapon crafting alone. I can’t believe the incredible work that must have gone into making this game as good as it is. All I can say is WOW!

This game is deceptively huge,when I 1st looked at the map that came with it I thought it was about the same size as “The Shimmering Isles” expansion pack for Oblivion but it’s waaaay bigger.A friend of mine bought the tell all guide for it and it’s 670-ish pages long!!!I spent easily over 1000 hours total on Oblivion and it’s extras and I think that this 1 will take more time than that if they plan on having any expansions.The magic sub-menu thing is a pain in the butt however as long as I’m in there I usually use an item or 2,no reason to double-dip if you can help it.True gaming gold for me was when I acquired the werewolf ability(in order to stop the vampirism) or when I was casually strolling along killing the local wildlife when I was jumped by 3 hired thugs that had a note in their pocket with my name on it saying the Dark Brotherhood had a contract out on me.That last 1 is kinda funny because in Oblivion I got to run the Brotherhood,now I get to be on the receiving end of their “tender mercies” lol.I agree this game is a 5 out of 5 even with the tiny flaws.I officially hung up my Blk-ops zombie killing guns yesterday and will be spending all my gaming time in/on Skyrim.

The magic thing is a bit odd, I am playing as a female, High Elf warrior right now, but even she uses magic a bit and having to use that favorites idea is a hassle I agree. I wrote this right after the first day of playing and it is meant as a first impression article. But all in all I think the game is totally awesome and i am already have that issue with getting addicted, lol.

I don’t know if its a 5 of 5, but it is a damned fine game. the inventory system is cumbersome and you have to go into a sub menu to access your magic which seems like a design flaw to me. the forced third person on your horse along with the inability to use weapons or magic while mounted is also frustrating. there are more tiny flaws but I don’t want to seem like I’m complaining, the game is wonderfun.

The first time I went one on one with a dragon out in the wilderness… gaming gold.
