    I tell it simple, Bethesda created great world, with awesome quests and good lore. I spent hundreds hours in game, but real joy is modding. Thanks them you can improve your gameplay thousands times.

Moreover it should be good quality, big mod not just armor or patch (yes, skyrim is still bugged and modders created patch to fix it) because fixing game is developer job. If paid mods will be very good quality, big and very compatible, i am not against but if paid mods will be expensive and silly (like armor or something similar), this will be end of good product.… Expand

    Really enjoyable game, being able roam the expansive beautiful lands playing it anyway you want is great escapism. It doesn't need an enticing story line when the game is so free to play how you want. Not polished enough for 10.

    Incredible! Just incredible! The world is huge and the questline is easy to get lost in. Just delve into the world of Skyrim and begin your journey as the Dragonborn. I recommend this to anyone, even kids. Skyrim will not dissipoint.

    This game has been my go-to escape for years. Its graphics, score, game play -- even some of its amusing glitches -- make Skyrim nearly peerless, even after years on the market. What an amazing, enjoyable effort it is.

    A game much deserving of its universal appraise. Skyrim's huge, beautiful world and set of amazingly written characters will leave you amazed. Very few games can match this masterpiece, I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys to play games. Its endless set of quests and intense story will make it extremely hard to put down.

The quests and the story itself are rather poor and uncreative (compared to the fantastic, crazy and well thought-out quests of Oblivion or Morrowind),

    Skyrim focuses mostly on exploration, and is the strongest point of the game. Discovering new ruins and caves and such is satisfying, as most of these places have an interesting reward upon clearing them, most notably Words of Power, which can be later turned into Shouts with dragon souls.

    Shouts are an interesting gimmick of this game, they are basically an extra spell that you can use from time to time, only that the effects can be potentially devastating: summon storms, summon a dragon to aid you, breathe fire and frost, disarm everyone in a radius, push everyone in a radius, and more.

    The sound track is pretty amazing, again Jeremy Soule does an incredible job at conveing the themes of Skyrim.

    The combat is bland to be honest, it's all about spamming left click until inflated health bars die out, The greatest addition is dual wielding weapons, or combing weapons with spells which give an extra layer of depth into the combat. It is serviceable and it's miles better than Oblivion or Morrowind, which i guess is ok.

    Like I said before, quests are boring and uncreative, and present you with no choice. You have no impact on the world. You can finish the main story and guards will still tell you that they received an arrow to the knee and taunt you and such. The factions are boring and unbelievable. Again you can be the leader of the Dark Brotherhood, of the Collage of Winterhold, of the Thieves Guild, and of the Companions. The travesty continues where you can become an Archmage without developing your magic skills at all, which sounds incredibly dumb. What's with Bethesda's fetish of you becoming the leader anyway? The Civil War questline is a carbon copy for both sides and it boils down to capturing settlements and engaging in some large scale battles. Nothing else, no espionage missions, you can't loose the civil war either (god forbid people fail at stuff these days), no trying to perhaps find a peaceful solution to the civil war. Nothing. I however appreciate the fact that both sides are not representations of good or evil, each side has reasons to why the player can be compelled to side with, or not, which is pretty much the only case where you'll find such a decision to make.

    The Skill system is a joke as it doesn't promote variety at all. What it promotes is homogenisation. Let me explain briefly. In Skyrim, you can max out all your skills at some point. How is this fun or interesting? Because there is no level cap, you are basicially unlimited and thus your choices on where to spend perk points are watered down. The only meaningful choices are where to start pending points first.

    Eh, but I am criticizing this game too much. To be honest, it does perfectly what it sets to achieve, and that is to create a compelling sandbox world where you can go anywhere and explore at your own leisure. It's a sort of playground for modders and such. In fact, Skyrim excels with mods, as they greatly expand the potential of this game and is able of fixing many of it's shortcomings.

    It's a good game, but not the RPG I expected from previous titles.
    For TES VI, I can only hope Bethesda learns from this and FO4 and give more love to the roleplaying side of the game.    … Expand

    Firstly the graphics of this game is absolutely gorgeous, even without the special edition. It is absolutely amazing to look at, and because of the open world you are able to immerse yourself in this incredible environment. The amount of quests also helps ensure that you will always have something to do while exploring this vast environment, and you are always able to find new areas to explore.
    The combat is also vastly improved than in previous elder scroll games. It looks a lot more entertaining and being able to equip on both hands really make the combat more diverse and a lot more fun.
    Also because I am reviewing the PC version, the accessibility to mods really enhance the experience. Being able to engineer the game more to your liking thanks to installing a couple of mods is a must for PC players and helps enhance the gaming experience.
    That being said, Skyrim does have some flaws, most notably with the storytelling. The main quests are quite simply very lacklustre. One pressing issue is that nothing feels important in the main quest line. There is no sense of urgency, no sense that anyone really cares about what you are doing which makes it hard to distinguish the main quest from some minor quests. The characters are also forgettable. I have spent a lot of time in this game and there is no character that caught my attention or that I can even remember. Your character is also given no backstory whatsoever. I think they want players to imagine their own backstory. But it would have been nice to have some quests that actually relate to finding out more about who your character is and have options to decide who your character really is. The dialogue options is also abysmal. There are no real consequences to saying one thing as opposed to the other even if they would usually elicit significantly different responses.
    Overall, this game feels a lot more like an action adventure game than a role playing game, which I suppose shouldn't be too big of an issue. But I feel like RPGs have more depth and make for a more enjoyable and immersive experience. Thus Skyrim was a little disappointing for me as I don't believe it was as good as previous Elder Scroll games. But don't get me wrong, this game is still very enjoyable and a beautiful game.    … Expand

    An incredible open world adventure filled with tons of quests to do and areas to explore. While the graphics aren't anything special, in my opinion they look better than most claim them to be. This game is the very definition of how to "lose yourself".

The world is large and very apt for long hours of exploration, there are many fascinating locations and areas to explore. There are many side quests and even little world building bits scattered around the world, really making it feel large and alive. The main quests is interesting and really makes you feel like the dragon-born, taking you all across Skyrim while you meet many interesting characters and fight dangerous enemies. The graphics are decent and the game runs fine on most computers, there are some bugs but that should be expected with a Bethesda RPG (though it is disappointing). The gameplay is generally fun, though it can be underdeveloped and slow, I enjoyed using the bow and there is a varied selection to choose from. The RPG elements are well implemented, though they can be a little shallow. There are many different paths you can take for your character, you can choose to be an assasin (like me), a mage, or a warrior and be highly specified, or you can just do everything and be a jack of all trades. Overall Skyrim is a very fun and enjoyable game, though it has many bugs, but these can be overlooked for the engaging quests, great gameplay, and engrossing world.… Expand

    If you do not use mods, this review might not be helpful for you.
    Right off the bat why I do not give this game a perfect score The main quest line is just sad and in my opinion unnecessary, the game lacks variety since all you'll be fighting is animals, dragons, people or undead people. If you were expecting a D&D-esque roster of creatures, critters and monsters you'd be sadly mistaken.    If you do not use mods, this review might not be helpful for you.

    Still I enjoy playing the game and would recommend it to others, though not all. On a technical note you could say my score for the game is overly charitable but my given score is influenced by how easy it is to mod the game and how much more playability and enjoyability these mods add. If you're comfortable using or even willing to try mods, and otherwise like open world games with high fantasy settings, then Skyrim is definitely worth trying.    … Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. The critics have seriously overrated this game. There is not way Skyrim is a perfect 10. And I will explain why:

    Pros:
    -Great graphics with a beautiful landscape and nicely decorated and nicely designed dungeons and ancient cities
    -Great mechanic for crime; One hold's bounty won't affect how another hold treats you
    -Great Blocking mechanics, shield bashing is pretty much life in Skyrim's combat
    -Good selection of creatures and enemies
    -Great replay value
    -Great skill system
    Cons: (Watch out kiddos, this is gonna sting if it's your first TES game)
    -Overpowered shouting mechanic, where literally the first shout makes you a god in combat
    -Shouting cooldowns are on a wicked cooldown considering you are supposed to be kin to a dragon
    -The Armor cap pretty much makes heavy armor obsolete unless you just like the looks of being a plated warrior. Leather should NEVER be as protective as DAEDRIC armor
    -Dual Wielding has no point. You don't attack fast enough or deal enough damage to really make up for the damage you take without being able to block.
    -The combat mechanics are broken. When you are on legendary difficulty the worst part isn't fighting, it's watching your stamina because once you get dry on stamina, you are defenseless. And you will be shield bashing or using your weapon to bunt them a LOT. Which eats stamina FAST.
    -Accidents just cannot be forgiven either. Too many times have I accidentally shouted or swung my weapon and an idiot guard or peasant walked right in front of me at the last second only to catch my warhammer or my longsword to the back of their head and they want to call me responsible for it.
    -Dragons almost never land on ground without Dragonrend-- There IS a method of using frost spells, but if you aren't a mage, you won't be able to use this at all.
    -The main story is ridiculously short. I think it's only like 12 missions or something like that. I finish it in about 3-4 hours if I focused on nothing else.
    -The world isn't even that big either. If you want a large map to play on, try TES's Arena. You will spend literal days on that in exploring ALONE. You can run/sprint from Riften all the way to Solitude in about an hour. (Not including if combat comes around, that might take another 30min)
    -Literal no challenge. No repair fee, No exploring really necessary...
    -The wars between the Stormcloaks and Imperials was really short. You only had 2 major city takeovers and what was worse is that you couldn't actually see the cities crumble. You would think catapults would just lay waste to the city, but all you see is the damage scripted to happen. and it just got weak. You will quickly find yourself asking isn't there more to the wars than 2 city takeovers and a handful of fortress takeovers?

    Overall Skyrim just doesn't come to par with Bethesda's other works. This is a dumbed down, kiddo version of what could've been a good game. But you would think that a game where you were considered a dragon, you would be able to shout as much as the dragons do, and not like a living draugr would be a fun experience, but I just get bored with it eventually.    … Expand

    The. Best. Game. In. The. World. Nearly everything about this game is perfect, whether it be the killer story, incredible world, or enjoyable gameplay. Of course, it's Bethesda, so of course the AI is a little buggy, and some quests are messed up, but it still doesn't change the absolute perfectness of this game.

    The quintessential experience for immersion in a fairy tale. A world that continues to give and to grow even after hours and hours of playing. The plot is well developed and has multiple engaging threads. There is the feeling of freedom as you choose to change the fate of a nation, or simply gather herbs.

    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.

    Skyrim is definitely one of the best games of 2011, but if the DLC holds out, it might just be one of the best games of 2012 as well.

    Skyrim is the best open world RPG you can get. A true evolution of genre is not flawless but still it is the game you love to live in. [Christmas 2011]
