Ahhh, Skyrim... One of two reasons I've not been very active this weekend (The other being staying at my girlfriends) this is quite frankly the best RPG I have played in a long long time. The graphics are beautiful, the landscape is vast and diverse and the enemies are interesting to fight. But we all know which enemy has stolen the lime-light with this game. Dragons.
Bethesda really wanted the in-game fear of dragons that eminates from the NPC's (Whose AI are superb I might add) to be felt by the player. So what do they do? They randomly script their appearances. What does this mean? Well normally in a game, most large boss-like characters are scripted to appear in a certain place at a certain time when the player is a certain level. In Skyrim the dragon's aren't like that. They appear anywhere at any time no matter what your level is, and I assure you, it's terrifying.
Tie this in with a brilliant soundtrack and a great arsenal of weapons, spells and shouts (a special form of magic useable by any character) you get some brilliant battles. I strongly suggest and recommend this game to any RPG fans with a 360, PS3 or decent PC ^_^

I'd look more into it, I'm using a 360 for now until I get a PC Next year, but I'm assuming it'll have high specifications with the quality of the graphics and stuff, a friend of mine downloaded it yesterday but he never told me the specs  |

Oh yeah, me, my sis, and my mom have been fighting over it since the moment we got it home! I adore the TES series! Glad to see someone else likes it!

Enlighten me oh wise Neku, as I don't play RPGs often. (Kingdom Hearts doesn't count)
I'm more of a fighting game kind of guy (MVC, Mortal Kombat, Etc.)

What about Street Fighter? Any Street Fighter. Devil May Cry series is also a good mass beat up game.

Well, you can download them from the Elder Scrolls official website for free. Or you can go to www.oldgames.sk and download a shiton more games - all completely legal. If the game has been licensed somewhere, they link you to a webpage where you can purchase a full version. The games they host are called "abandonware" which means they are no longer licensed and are thus in the public domain... and nigh-impossible to get. |

My family got Skyrim on the first day and I've been staying up for most of the night in order to play it. It's so much fun that I've even put playing my pre-ordered copy of Assassin's Creed on hold. XD I don't even know if Uncharted 3 will be able to break the little spell Skyrim has cast over me.
