Product Information
The next installment in the critically acclaimed Elder Scrolls series is finally here: The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim. Skyrim is the homeland of the Nords, a fierce and proud warrior people who are used to the bitter cold and mountanous terrain that mark the lands of Skyrim. Wracked by civil war, and threatened by the return of the legendary dragons, Skyrim faces its darkest hour. You must make sense of this maelstrom, explore the frozen tundra and bring hope to the people. The Elder Scrolls told of their return. The Empire of Tamriel is on the edge. The High King of Skyrim has been murdered. Alliances form as claims to the throne are made. In the midst of this conflict, a far more dangerous, ancient evil is awakened. Dragons, long lost to the passages of the Elder Scrolls, have returned to Tamriel. The future of Skyrim, even the Empire itself, hangs in the balance as they wait for the prophesized Dragonborn to come; a hero born with the power of The Voice, and the only one who can stand amongst the dragons.
Mesmerizing and Captivating Open World Experience, Completely Immersive! I'm Hooked!!!!
Ive always been a fan of retro games and only got my 1st Xbox in 2010 at the young tender age of 34! I recall playing The original Elder Scrolls and starting to enjoy it, but found that the xbox just couldnt handle the game, too big, too laggy and poor graphics!
The concept however was what grabbed my attention, since I was once a huge D&D fan back in the day! That was then, this is now and I was immediately blown away by the opening scene!
Not so much the character rendering but by the background scenery. I thought Assasin's Creed and Dishonoured(and I thoroughly enjoyed Dishonoured) were very good with there open world scenery but The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim takes the biscuit! I would put it on par with Konami's "MGS V The Phantom Pain" if not dare I say - better?!
The Game starts you off right in the thick of it where youre about to be executed, however a certain scaled creature interrupts this near death experience and you make your escape quickly learning to adapt so as to survive! before you know whats hit you, you are fully immersed within the Realm of Skyrim within the first half hour.
Although a fairly slow introduction is made, if youre a big fan of open world and the likes of Skyrim, MGSV, Dishonoured etc. or any game for that matter where the story and the plot are what draws you in then I cannot recommend this game enough! WARNING: you might lose quite a bit of sleep though while playing it, I just couldnt put my Controller down as I mastered my next new trick, slight of hand or gained another character's trust or levelled up on my Magical powers! I chose High Elf...Naturally, Whatever character you choose you are guaranteed to have an absolute blast with this game! Another Thumbs Up to Bethesda for this Epic Fantasy Release!!! Highly Recommended!!!! I'd Give Ten Stars but Ebay only allows 5!
I wasn't sure how an RPG would work with a gamepad, and wasn't too fussed with the controls for Fable and the like, so I waited until I found this cheaply.
I played it straight for about two weeks and loved every aspect. The combat/magic is excellent, the story is loooong and compelling, and I can't wait until I've forgotten most of it to start it again hehe. (You can choose to re-start your skills and keep going forever too)
I recommend this to all RPG fans and action gamers alike.
