    Let's start with the graphics -- compared to oblivion, there's not much of an upgrade.
    The gameplay of oblivion and skyrim was basically the same.

Overhyped and too bugy. Combat is too funny, it's basically    Let's start with the graphics -- compared to oblivion, there's not much of an upgrade.

    The only good side of this game is the music. Even up to this game, I can still remember the lyrics of "the dragon born comes".

There are many ways to play and re-play this game. Lots of choices from what direction you take in the game, to building custom houses, and looting everything to to craft so many different things. The game is older though so there are a fair number of bugs that can be encountered but it was my second rpg and a fav for a lond time. Also- the music is wonderful.

    Takeaways
    Pros: lots of customization and types of quests, options options options, great music.
    Cons: older game so is falling behind in the graphics area, can be buggy especially at high player levels.    … Expand

    Look you want to know why Skyrim is so good even in 2020? It's simple. It was a solid game back when it was released, and because Bethesda at the time had a big brain, and said "Hey what if we make a game, and make it so moddable the fans can turn it into other games entirely?"
    That's why. It's got so much you can do to mod it and change it that its entirely still worth playing in 2020.

In my opinion, the simplicity of the interface makes it feel more shallow compared to Oblivion, where the journal style inventory felt more lore appropriate and had more character.

    I have owned this title on both xbox and now steam, and every one in a while I will boot it up again to check out mods, but for all this game does right, it still won't ever replace TES IV in my mind.

    This might be one the most re-playable games of all time, with the help of mods you will always find something new to do, some place you never explored before and a NPC you never talked to before.
    The graphics for the time in my opinion were jaw dropping, not because of textures but because of the beautiful scenery found in this game, i still find this game graphically impressive to this day, even though the texture and models are outdated.
    Although i love Oblivion, i think this game is an improvement on almost all levels (the character building was a bit better in oblivion), the gameplay is tighter and gives you more freedom with stuff like dual wielding spells and weapons, the NPCs are more interesting and aren't as buggy and the main plot is definitely more compelling and engaging.
    Skyrim gives you freedom to play as whatever you want and that is what gives it it's replay value, you can customize your character to be what you want, and if the addition of mods, the possibilities are almost endless.
    This game will go down as one of the best game of all time and is a must play for anyone.

    Best of 2011 year. But Oblivion is still better for me :(
    So, let's begin. First of all, this game is really beautiful with mods. Classic TES story line. Interesting Daedric princes quests (Sheogorath and Azura are my favorites). Not bad Winterhold college quests. But Dark Brotherhood worse than in Oblivion in my opinion. Thieves Guild unremarkable). Amazing Dawnguard and Dragonborn dlc.    Best of 2011 year.

Not bad Winterhold college quests. But Dark Brotherhood worse than in Oblivion in my opinion. Thieves Guild unremarkable). Amazing Dawnguard and Dragonborn dlc. Fortunately for us, Skyrim has amazing ost! Thanks Jeremy Soule for it)
    My favorite rpg after Witcher 3, ofc.
    Eventually 8/10, cuz extra quests worse than other TES games and middling characters.    … Expand

    Absolute classic of a game, never fails to entertain...

    The immersive and impressive world of Skyrim is a shining example for every RPG out there, how it should be done. Mountains, Caves, Towns, Taverns, Cities, Lakes, Islands -everything in this game is explorable and has its unique touch of atmosphere mixed with secrecy. Graphics are stunning for a game thats been released in 2011    Absolute classic of a game, never fails to entertain...

    The immersive and impressive world of Skyrim is a shining example for every RPG out there, how it should be done. Mountains, Caves, Towns, Taverns, Cities, Lakes, Islands -everything in this game is explorable and has its unique touch of atmosphere mixed with secrecy. Graphics are stunning for a game thats been released in 2011 especially when you mod it to the maximum.

    Encounters with NPC´s feel lively and dialogues are well written, even tho the dialogue options are minimalistic most of the time, which can give you a feeling of restriction. The main-story is good, not great but definitely good, but the quests and storylines I enjoyed most were from the DLC`s. You feel important within those stories. You are a small piece of a bigger issue, trying to accomplish your goals, the outcome depends on your actions and it feels like you are climbing the ranks with every small step you take.

    The many different playstyles Skyrim offers vary from being a farmer living in peace and silence, over a wizard/necromancer with magic spells to a warrior who kills his enemies with sheer force or stealthy with intelligence and perfidiousness. Fighting can feel kind of dull in this game, but the many options how you level your character gives you a huge variety of different playstyles and you can just mix it up a lot.

    The game is kind of buggy sometimes- NPC´s running in walls, objects flying around, getting stuck and so on... Nonetheless even tho it has it´s issues it´s a great game. Overall this is a must-play game for every RPG/Fantasy-Fan and i would definitely recommend to play it!

    Я знаю, як багато в неї фанатів, що люди буквально жили і живуть в ній, що в ній ціла купа модифікацій, але як на мене вона "пуста". Перш за все сюжет - проходняк. Геймплей примітивний, від чого баталії не викликають емоцій. Вбивати на кожному кроці дракона з лука, така собі атмосфера. Той самий Облівіон мені сподобався більше, хоч і там лишаються бездушні згенеровані локації.Я знаю, як багато в неї фанатів, що люди буквально жили і живуть в ній, що в ній ціла купа модифікацій, але як на мене вона "пуста".

    Although the main quest is hot garbage, the World and guild quests are great. Skyrim is also a great game for role playing because of the quantity and overall quality of its side content. The world is dense and full of stories to find explained through environmental details rather than dialog. Or maybe you just want to mod the game until it runs at 2 fps. (like me)

    And as you spend some of your last seconds of breathing air from this corporeal earth thinking back on what should be an insignificant, irrelevant comment about a video game on Steam, you will be thinking about one of two things. You could think about how you heeded the advice of this seemingly inconsequential review and played the game, of course probably having several hours of endless fun screwing around as a medieval badass, meeting interesting characters, and enjoying a video game to the greatest extent one could possibly enjoy it.

    Or you could regret not heeding the advice of this seemingly inconsequential review, and not play the game. And as you lie there, inert, coming to terms with your imminent and inevitable death, you can't help but wonder what could've been. If you had just spent the measly $20 to buy this game and perhaps just tried it. Perhaps it would've been a mediocre experience. But on the other hand, it could've been an immensely enjoyable experience.

    And as your sight begins to fail, the room grows darker and darker, your organs begin to fail one by one, and death's icy hand reaches out to pull you down into the void, your last thought will be the realization that you would never know.

    Unfortunately, Skyrim trips and falls on its own (most probably, to make the cool-sounding deadline of 11-11-11) and just before it reaches perfection as the ultimate specimen of its genre, it self-destructs in a crucial aspect of game design: the interface and the peripheral components (inventory, journal, map, etc)... but that is not to say that Skyrim is anything but a truly majestic, epic RPG that will suck you right in its cosmos.
