A mind blowing over the top adventure. The only downfall is once you buy it, your trading your life for it. Hours of gameplay, 150 dungeons, just an amazing adventure. And the dragon battles will keep you at the edge of your seats

The only reason I am holding off on buying this game is because I do not think the lady will enjoy the fact i traded my life for a video game. I just want to enjoy it and I can't see sinking that much time into it now. One day i will see what the fuss is about though!

The light burned my eyes this moring when I went to school because since getting Skyrim this Christmas, I dont think ive stopped playing it. The one mistake I made involving this game is I didn't get a collectors edition. Between killing dragons, fighting the Empire as a stormcloak, I have joined The Dark Brotherhood, The Companions and The Theives Guild. You could get pristige 10 lvl 80 in MW3 before you just discover all the locations. I am a lvl 27 and have become a Thane in all the holds, completed the Dark Brotherhood, Thevies Guild, Civil War, Mags College, and Dragonborn quests along with starting many others and I'm just as addicited as day one.

This game is so awesome. It blew my mind. I absolutely loved the story. It had a really nice flow. The side quests such as the Companions, or the Dark Brotherhood quests are also awesome. This game was just as good, if not better than Oblivion and Morrowind. I would recomend this game to anybody that has played either Fallout or Oblivion.

In my personal opinion, I found Skyrim to be a very average RPG game. The graphics were amazing, the story was awesome, and the characters were great, but I expect those things from every RPG game. I went into Skyrim after hearing all of my friends telling me it was the best game ever and possibly that's why I was so disappointed. I expected it to have amazing game play and be something I would enjoy playing for years, but I found the enemies far too easy. I beat the game in a matter of days. I won't sit here and tell you it's horrible but I want a challenge when I play an RPG, Skyrim let me down in that aspect. This game is great for anyone just starting out as a gamer or who isn't looking for a challenge.

This game was great, if a little life-consuming. I got pretty addicted to it. The music became a bit repetitive but that could've been because I was playing it so much. The story lines were great, the depth of detail in the game was awesome (ex: every book in the game actually contains at least a few pages of a story, journal entry, etc. that all do tie together if they're in the same series of titles). I know I could spend more hours on this game if I wanted to, and I've already spent about 100 hours playing it.

Right when I watched the trailer, I was hooked. The sounds and graphics are incredible! The story-line probably the best so far, the new features such as: Duel Wielding, Dragons, and Shouts are so cool. This game is personally one of my favorites. I got this game the day it came out, and I am still loving it.

I really really like this game but that doesen't help to cover up the horrible things like that the NPC's are stupid and brain dead. They treat you like trash even though you are the Dragonborn. The other thing I hate is that you can't kill IMPORTANT NPC's they will only sit down and rest. But there are some good parts too. I'm gonna mention some: 1. Better AI 2. Dragons are added 3. MUCH BETTER GRAPHICS 4. Alot of DLC's and updates which I like. And before I forget the music and sounds are beautiful if you use high quality speakers/headphones.

This outstanding game completely blew me away when I first played it. The sheer size of the world and the infinite amount of side quests also contribute. The game however, is not perfect. An army of bugs/glitches as well as some pretty bad dialog await you.

Skyrim is one of the greatest, and most fun games I have ever played. Even though there is no multi-player, the single-player is glorious. I have played over 200 hours of this game, and I still feel the desire to play more. There is always something new in Skyrim. every time I play I have a completely different experience with not only the world, but the player and weapons as well. There are enchantments fro your weapon and potions fro your body. The only reason I have only played 200+ hours is because of pc problems, so i am going to get it for the xbox. It is well worth buying it twice which will cost 100 dollars more or less. It's pretty strange how the hair looks though. It looks like someone put leaves on their heads. Over all this is an amazing game please play it.

This game is great for the cash strapped gamer. I was so tired of buying a new game that usually runs about $49.99 to $59.99 and have it beat in a week and a half if that long. Most game companies are developing their games around online multiplayer. Which isn't necessarily a bad thing I love call of duty but the campaign mode lacks. On this game so many options quests, side quests, guilds, jobs, college, to many to mention. The game is unique to you in how you choose to play it. I was still doing quests and just wondering around when the expansions came out which by the way are also awesome. Then there is hearth fire where you get to gather materials and build your own house. Basically if you want a game that will keep you busy for awhile this is it.

Bethesda, as a company, is the most overrated developer out there. Their games are nowhere near as big as people think, and they are all riddled with lifeless characters and game ending glitches. Skyrim is no exception. This game could have been made by a 10 year old with a decent set up and a basic understanding of mod tools. They charge too much for their DLC's too. 20$ each? Ridiculous.

This game is great but is way overhyped for the experience you get. The combat is fun but very basic and really doesn't have a lot of depth. The level up system is kind of cool but again doesn't have a lot of depth (some perk trees are almost useless). The stories are all kind of bland or too short with exception of the thieves guild which was by far the best quest line. What really makes this game shine though is how you can play this game for hours and not even realize it and your character can be whatever you choose him/her to be (granted the depth of it is more in you imagination than actual game mechanic wise). This isn't the greatest game of all time but it is still a great game overall though.

Made the mistake of trading in oblivion to get this game. Hate the way the level up works. You will have to keep killing small animals until you level up enough to do anything.

if you are reading this and are thinking about getting skyrim get it i also have a little tip for you at the begining of the games when you get to chose who you want to go with there is a stormcloak soldier and an imperial soldier go with the imperial when you walk into the keep and he will cut off the bindings but donot get the armor and the sword out of the chest take the sword off of the wall and beat the heck out of him but donot hit him when he falls down do this till you reach lv 100 one-handed then take out your flame spell and roast him then go into sneak mode and kepp sneaking up behinde him and hitting him and when your sneak gets to lv 33 you can just sit beside him and hit him every 6 seconds now for the easter eggs at the begining when the imperials are calling names right when they tell you to step forward he will say who are you as soon as he does look straight down then to your right and there will be an easter basket with a easter egg inside of it but it is abit trickey to see it then when you get in white run as soon as you go threw the gates go toyour right there is a little romm with a barrel in it jump on top of the barrel and jump threw the the gap in the wall and once you get out of the city go left until you get to the eagle statue walk up to the statue along the wall there is a little space between the rocks walk across it then there is a little crack in the rock walk threw it and youl be under the skyforge there is a chest you have to jump and open it you can find wolf armor in there

In my first review I said it's the best RPG, but now, I have some regrets. This does not mean it's not a wonderful game, but more could have been better. The detail, fantastic. Gameplay, everything was great except for some issues with the stealth. But one thing it lacks is to keep me paying attention because of it's dimwitted story. That's right, like every other game or movie you are the chosen one, or the Dragonborn, the story that has the chosen one has just gotten pathetic. Side quest stories are better, but sometimes they even lack a good story. This is highly overrated, but will let you have a fun time, 8.5/10.

I love this game the graphics are pretty boss. The main story is ok but I prefer the other factions stories. The game is fun until you are basically around the level where nothing is really a challenge any more but it is fun to make new characters and go through using different abilities.
