    Very rich open world.
    Gameplay is rich but lacks animations.
    Some places have unique atmosphere.

    One of the best RPGs I've ever played. Game is truly open-world and it lets you explore its vast and detailed fantasy world without getting bored.

    Skyrim is the next instalment of the Elder Scrolls Saga and is a fantasy open world roleplay game, where you get to choose the direction your character and interact with a diverse environment. Progress and improve your skill with all the 18 different skill trees to match your play style, learn countless spells and collect powerful weapons and armour to improve your arsenal.
    You start off as a prisoner of the empire, about to be executed after being captured when crossing the border, you are saved however when a dragon burns the town and you flee with a stormcloak or an imperial soldier to a town of Riverwood, from here you embark on a journey to kill the dragon Alduin, the world eater, to do this you learn a vast array of shouts, spells and gather many weapons and sets of armour as you progress. Once you have completed the story there are many side quests for you to do, from joining a group of assassins to collecting artefacts of powerful deities and even becoming a vampire of a werewolf. The characters you meet when on your journey feel unique despite the limited voice actors/actresses
    Skyrim has an amazing character creator where you can choose how your character looks. You can choose from a range of different races each with their different perks, for example a Khajiit for example, a race of cat people have increased damage in fist fights because of their claws and have a night vision ability. The game is very easy to pick up, with simplistic controls and varying modes of difficulty, as you progress the enemies you encounter become stronger with you and this keeps the game challenging even if you have reached a high level.
    If you have finished with the game as a whole and have nothing else to do you can install mods made by the community, from dinosaurs to making your own city, the possibilities are endless.
    In my opinion the game still holds up well today and well worth the £19.99 ($26.30).

    This is my favorite game. I enjoy reading a lot of myths, legends, and fantasy, and this game made me feel like I was in one of my books. The only problem I have with it is that there are no combos. Not MK combos, I dislike those, but I wanted a fighting style similar to Kingdoms of Amalur. Otherwise, like I said, this is my favorite game.

    I've played the game about three times and in contrast to others I have actually finished the main storyline once. It was quite a great time, I did not have mods installed and followed the main quests mostly, doing some minor along the way. I remember that run fondly and sometimes get back to these memories.

    Now, the other times I never finished the game, and usually dropped the main storyline after I got dohahkiin powers. The first time I used mods I went all out and have played for quite some time. The last time I went back to the side quests I never knew existed and the DLCs and used just the immersive mods that improved upon the game and its world. That time I felt empty and realized the game has never been as great as the others have painted it.

    The game world does not really change, there are no groundbreaking player choices. Whether you go with Stormcloaks or Imperials is just a matter of liking racist natives or Roman LARPers better that the others. The grand battles are a let down, and the war is all talk and no game, really.

    Most of the quests are just fetch/kill/explore dungeon quests with no real essence. I really hope Bethesda steps up their game after the Microsoft buyout.

    The game is graphically pretty good, even for the parameters of 2018, and for its time, it was a reference for the genre, a masterpiece that no player forget. You never forget when you first climbed the mountain and saw the snow being projected by the wind down the hill.
    The soundtrack its impressive and you have hours of dialogue and story to listen. You almost can talk to every single person in the game that they have something to say to you.
    Game mechanics are obviously limited, compared to current titles (I do remind I'm reviewing this in 2018), and it is still possible to find bugs or side quests that do not work right. However it is very important to note that there are community-corrected mods that do not affect the achievements of the game (in any case, be aware of them before using them).

    Skyrim is a fantastic open world game that should be a reference to every open world games. The size matters but the most important thing is, without a doubt, the content. And in Skyrim at every step you find something to do. It's easily a 200 hours plus journey if you want.

    Skyrim its one of that games that any gamer must play, at least once, and that will always going to use as reference for what a open world and role playing game should be.

    Sem dúvida um dos melhores jogos que já joguei, com uma história que te prende, side quests incríveis, ótimos gráficos, trilha sonora impecável, e uma gameplay que nunca enjoa, a única coisa que deixa a desejar é o sistema de batalha, principalmente o corpo a corpo, com toda certeza conseguiu superar seu antecessor Oblivion, e ganhou mais um GOTY para Bethesda, mais que merecido.

    I've had a love hate relationship with Skyrim over the years. When I first played it in 2017 on my old xbox it was pretty much the only game played that whole year and it quickly became one of my favorite games of all time, however its been almost five years since the first time I completed the game and in that time I've had the luxury of playing breath of the wild that pretty muchI've had a love hate relationship with Skyrim over the years. When I first played it in 2017 on my old xbox it was pretty much the only game played that whole year and it quickly became one of my favorite games of all time, however its been almost five years since the first time I completed the game and in that time I've had the luxury of playing breath of the wild that pretty much outshines this game in one category, actually being completed. I think this game suffers the most from the amount of time that Bethesda was given. Five years was not enough time to make a game of this caliber. If you were to take off the rose tined glasses of the past you would see that a lot of the core mechanics of a typical elder scrolls game have been watered down a substantial amount. Factions no longer have ranks which removes the sense of progression in their questlines. Towns like Whiterun, Windhelm, Raven rock, Solitude, Markarth, and Riften all look visually distinct from each other, though the fact they are mostly referred to as cities is laughable considering their scale. The rest of the towns are completely identical to each other with Winterhold being the most disappointing to me. While I think that the magic and range combat is a step up from oblivion the melee combat is sloppy and unrefined, it feels like you're on ice skates. Now the biggest issue with this game. Bethesda always got away with Buggy **** like this game and I'm glad that it blew up in their face with Fallout 76. If you see this review, please don't get the impression that I hate this game. I think that all Bethesda games before fallout 4 are far much better than the garbage open world games that Ubisoft releases every year, this game included. The open world itself is amazingly detailed with each area of the game being far more interesting than the procedurally generated forests of the previous game. The music is on point as ever and the story while not as good as oblivion is presented far better and of course the side quests remain as the greatest element of the Elder Scrolls games. Therefore its one of the better open world games I've played and (Hot take) I find to be more enjoyable than the Witcher 3 >:) .
    4/6 not as good as breath of the wild :P

Чтобы её насладиться вдоволь надо очень много времени, чего я ни сделал. Как раз из-за проблемы времени. Я знал, что если зайду в нее, то играть надо долго и проводить там минимум по 7 часов в день. Я так сделать не мог, ни в то время как купил ее, ни сейчас. Зато я наиграл 7 часов, знаю что это то же самое, что и вообще не поиграть. Но из увиденного мною, я могу сконструировать свой отзыв. Возможно не сильно объективный, но все же постараться можно. Игра такого масштаба требует чтобы в нее наиграли достойно, после чего сказали какая она крутая или нет. Я наиграл мало, но точно могу сказать, что она крутая.

    Bethesda всегда радовала своих фанатов играми с открытым и довольно проработанным миром, чего только стоит серия Fallout, которую я просто обожаю. Вести полноценную и долгую речь о пятой части TES я не могу, и даже не потому что мало наиграл, я не все испытал (в некотором понимании это из-за времени, да согласен). Различного рода мелочи, развлечения, случайны прохожие. Вот эти элементы мне понравились больше всего, ими я даже успел насладиться в некотором роде. Мне очень понравилось, что можно зайти в таверну и заказать выпивку и музыку, переночевать там. А с новым днем отправиться в новое путешествие, покоряться новым приключением. И ведь действительно, ты ни когда не знаешь что тебя ждет, мир очень огромен.

    Масштабы игрового мира поражают, как только ты начинаешь его исследовать. Даже не в том суть, что его очень трудно обойти весь. Гораздо интереснее будет сталкиваться с абсолютно рандомными ситуациями (это кстати можно увидеть в Ведьмаке, я думаю этот элемент всем понравился). Эти ситуации тебе создают дополнительные приключения, возможность выбора последствий от ситуации. Кстати выбор тоже может в корне повлиять на будущее. Кажется мелочи, но задумываешься. Про сюжет, прокачку, навыки, магию и что-то в этом духе, я не уверен что правильно смогу изложить свои мысли, поэтому не буду. Но по правде говоря, это та игра в которую нужно действительно играть, попробовать каждому самому и выражать свои эмоции от игры.

    До конца надеюсь, что это объективная оценка. Исходя из-за неполного обзора по всем фронтам, я думаю данная оценка заслуженна. Как я говорил выше, играть нужно по-любому. Может даже мне в будущем что-то щелкнет, и я захочу провести в ней месяцок, другой.

    A game I've sunk countless hours into and still continue to do so.

    It was a true marvel when it released back in 2011 and now thanks to mods it still holds up as one of the most recommended Open World Western RPGs. Skyrim is beautiful and big province of Tamriel and after so many years I still find something new. You can choose how you want to play. Be it as an archer, mage, swordsman

    While the main story is hardly as epic as Oblivion's, it's the various side quests that make up for it.
    I'd say this is the best game to introduce someone to PC gaming, even after so many years simply because of its enormous modding community.

Immediately close this page and run to play it. Many people say that it will never be too late to play it, some still make various add-ons for it, but this is not entirely objectively. I agree with all hands and feet that this is a great game masterpiece... but of its time. It was created in 2011 and improved in 2016. Somewhere then I played it. But no matter how much you put on a makeup, no matter how much you paint the walls and improve the graphics with "special editions" - this is still the skeleton from 2011. Sooner or later it will have to be released, because there will be something to compare with, no matter how cool the story, mechanics and atmosphere are. So don't waste that time.
    A huge open world, a huge variety of long and short adventures. There are so many nooks and crannies and atmospheric places and events that even after a month of intense play and searching with a magnifying glass, you still have something to do. A good system for skills with upgrade by using them... Since Skyrim was created, I haven't met as good game as that one of this genre and scope. Perhaps the third Witcher, but it's "a slightly different industry".
    The only thing I can scold Skyrim for is a lot of nasty bugs, which, I think, were later fixed.

    One of the best RPG games I've ever played. Sure, it's not perfect, e.g. the quests are sometimes repetitive and the main storyline isn't all that great, but the open world, freedom of choice and art style are excellent. I get why some people dislike Bethesda's style, but for me, it's something special.

    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.

    The witcher 3 did surpass Skyrim in my eyes, though the fact that i'm a huge witcher fan boy and i still love them equally should shed some light on how amazing Skyrim is...

    A great game to lose yourself into, one of my favorites, a lot of good open world things like side quests and gameplay variety, skills and exploring and top notch and some of the best gaming has to offer.

    Suffers from:
    - bugs
    - bad combat
    - dumbed down RPG
    - bad story
    - forgettable characters

My main gripe with the game is how you interact with the NPCs, and the story in general. This game takes itself way too seriously, would it have killed to have *one* intentionally funny moment in the game? Or have a character tell some sort of joke? In contrast, Oblivion knew when to be serious and where not to be, you can still take it seriously in the serious moments, and laugh in the silly ones, the Sheogorath quests are a good example of comedy in Oblivion done right. Sheogorath in Skyrim isn't as mischievous as he was in Oblivion, and it still somehow feels like there's tension as if you're doing the Alduin questline. Now to the NPC interactions, Bethesda really went crazy with the essential NPCs, even the random beggar on the street is essential, even if he's not related to the main quest line at all. Why would Delphine or Jarl Balgruf be essential? They're just middleman characters who don't do things themselves, they have you or another smart character do it for them. The fact that you couldn't just progress through the story without these annoying characters being in the way is really contradictory to the freedom the game advertises. But it's still a good game regardless. Expand

    This review contains spoilers, click expand to view. Don't really understand all hype around Skyrim.

    I remember the times of Daggerfall, Morrowind. And when the Oblivion was released it was already a disaster and downfall. Skyrim is not an exception. There is a huge list of stupidity happening in this game:
    - you are FORCED to travel around different shop owners to sell your merchandise. If you do not do it, you will be always overweighted;
    - all the caves are almost the same. You follow the route, fight the zombies, come to the final boss, pull the lever and appear near the entrance. Taps are visible, money not a big deal there, also learn new words. Ok. Same BS as in Oblivion except for shouts;
    - physical issues. It's just a disaster. Objects fly around, sometimes you need NoClip cheat to fly through the door. Thousands of threads on forums about that issue and NOTHING done to fix it in patches;

    The story is boring. The game is just boring. Morrowind was the whole new world. In Oblivion you at least could upgrade your athletics and acrobatics. Here you can crawl mountains without training anything, here you are slow. You should be a werewolf to run faster. Falling almost never causes any damage.

    Just one huge waste of time. I didn't even finish. Deleted and watched the rest on youtube. Recommend you doing the same to save your time.

Visuals are good (actually they were awesome but I first played it 3 or 4 years after its release), story is deep, complex and immersive plus being almost endless. The game allows you to make your own choices about a lot of things, making each game yous start really diiferent than the last. Customization is really cool: you can change your outfit, the way you resolve quests, people you consider as friends or not, where to live, how to decorate, adopting a child or not, getting married, becoming a werewolf or vampire,... The map is huge with varied environments. The 'Dawnguard' and 'Dragonborn' add-on's do bring even more discoveries and atmospheres.

    The fact that there are so many gratifying ways to progress all along the game just makes me crazy. Side quests interact with the main one (even in a bad way when you realize you killed someone being necessary later). Modding is insane: thanks to NexusMod you can make the game revive when you thought it was dead. The bestiary is awesome and detailed, even if draugr's are way too repetitive in dungeons. Dubbing and acting is awesome for each necessary character. Soundrtrack is oviously incredible, immersive and powerful. Interface and HUD are ugly but you can easily change it on PC.

    Ah Skyrim...

    At üstünde çorak topraklarında dolaştırdın beni, gece ormanda gezerken vampirleri yolladın üzerime, kalenin en tepesine çıkıp manzarayı izlerken müziğinle mest ettin, yoldan geçerken adamlara selam verip almayı sen öğrettin..

    Ah Skyrim...

    At üstünde çorak topraklarında dolaştırdın beni, gece ormanda gezerken vampirleri yolladın üzerime, kalenin en tepesine çıkıp manzarayı izlerken müziğinle mest ettin, yoldan geçerken adamlara selam verip almayı sen öğrettin.. İlk defa bir oyunda, bir dünyanın içine bu kadar girdim.

    Seni seviyorum...

    Açık dünya, uçsuz bucaksız topraklar.. Bu toprakları gezerken başıma gelebilecek türlü türlü olaylar. Bi' tarafa döner mamutlara rastlarım, bi' tarafta kurtlar saldırır, kaçarken yolda biri gelir yardım ister, kıramaz yardım ederim. Uzaktan bir mağara ilişir gözlerime, içeri girer, göz atarım. Bir kale var puslu dağlar arasında, içeri girer halkla muhabbet ederim. Bu RPG değil dostum, bu gerçek yaşam!

    Skyrim...

    Kale duvarları içinde gezerken insanlarla muhabbet ettim, yeri geldi yardım ettim yeri geldi yardım aldım, yeri geldi kandırdım yeri geldi kandırıldım, yeri geldi pazarda gördüğüm kızla evlendim. Açık konuşalım, bazıları uyurken evlerinden eşya çalıp kuytu köşelerde sattım. Yeri geldi haklı buldum isyana destek verdim, yeri geldi rüşvet verip hapislerden çıktım. Senden tek beklentim RPG iken, sen bana 1 ve 0'larla gerçek yaşamı sundun.

    Hikayen muazzam. Senden çok derin, ağzımı açık bırakacak bi' hikaye istememiştim. Sen bana destan sundun, mitleri yaşattın. Eski çağların kaybolan defterlerine bi' yerlerde isim yazdırdın. Kahraman yaptın beni, durduk yere Fus Ro Dah! diye bağırdım olur olmaz yerlerde.

    Grafiğin pek iyi değildi, ama olsundu. Her ne kadar Special Edition adı altında 'yenilendi!' diyerek başka bir sürüm çıkarıp pek bir fark yaratmasan da, oluru bu dedim. Zaten yeterdi. Eski çağı en ince pixeline kadar yaşamasam da benim için problem yoktu.

    Dedin ki istersen yer altından gel, bir kuyruğun olsun, suda nefes alırsın. Dedin ki, istersen ormanlardan gel, on ikiden vurursun attığını, kolay kolay da hasta olmazsın. Dedin ki, istersen insanların içinden çık gel, al eline kılıcını kalkanını, insanlığın gururu ol!

    Bazen oturdum, uzandım topraklarında.. Attım kılıcı kalkanı bir tarafa. Etrafımda kimse yok. Sadece uzaklardan gelen müzikler ve akan nehirin sesi, bir de börtü böcekler; kalkmadım saatlerce, yıldızlarını izledim. Rüzgarda hışırdayan yapraklar bir şeyler anlattı bana, onları dinledim.

    Üç yüz saate yakın bir süre geçirdim topraklarında. Bir üç yüz saat daha geçirmek için yeni bir çağrı bekliyorum senden. Altıncı kez buluşmak istersen, ben hep buralarda olacağım...

    Having played this game on various platforms and versions for well over 1000 hours, I can say two main things about Skyrim:

    1- If you're new to the RPG genre (Not like those new games that is categorized as "RPG" just because they have a skill tree. Yes, I'm looking at you Witcher and Assassins Creed. ) and want to delve into a whole new world, then this game is definitely for you. It's
    Having played this game on various platforms and versions for well over 1000 hours, I can say two main things about Skyrim:

    1- If you're new to the RPG genre (Not like those new games that is categorized as "RPG" just because they have a skill tree. Yes, I'm looking at you Witcher and Assassins Creed. ) and want to delve into a whole new world, then this game is definitely for you. It's casual enough for everyone to understand the world and story, and it doesn't have a complex mechanical structure like those old cRPGs. It's much more focused on action elements while still providing tons of roleplaying chances in an amazing setting. However, if you've played games like The Witcher 3 and expect those kinds of things, don't. In terms of story and storytelling, this game is nothing like The Witcher 3. Both main and side stories are clunky and you won't even care about them except for a few questline.

    2- If you're an oldschool RPG fan who've played and liked games like Baldur's Gate, Planescape, Icewind Dale or even Dragon Age: Origins and Mass Effect, this game might not be for you. It's still a good game that you may enjoy, but don't expect anything like the games I've just mentioned. Combat is very action oriented with no room for tactics and all. Dialogue options can vary, but they're definitely not rich, it's mostly your typical "yes, no" type of options. (There's not even sarcastic yes.) However, if you're into tabletop roleplaying games like Dungeons and Dragons, the game gives you a HUGE chance to roleplay, even in vanilla.

    There are some good amount of class and profession variations that you can do to roleplay. You want to be a merchant who only trades by wandering town to town? You can do it. You want to be a fierce warrior who earns his living by killing monsters and bandits? Sure, go ahead. You want to be an evil elf with a secret lair who secretly kills nords because of an old trauma? Hell yeah you can do that. You want to be a loving family dad while being a town guard? You might need a few console commands but yes, you can also do that. I've played this game with anything from "imma go murder every single man in this land" to "I'm just a peaceful dude who lives in a shack and sells rabbit meat" and I can easily say that every playthrough has its own delight.

    Although, if you want to experience this game to the fullest, you definitely should install mods. Nearly all Bethesda games have an awesome engine in terms of mod support, so there are thousands of awesome mods for all your tastes that you can download for free and you don't even need a good PC to use most of them.

    Overall, awesome game with a lot of opportunity for roleplaying, albeit with a mediocre gameplay/story.

    8/10 in Vanilla.
    11/10 with mods.

The mod capability they give to players is not from the goodness of their hearts but from their laziness. Outsourcing basically your quality assurance to players.

    So judging the game as developed by bethesda, i cant just give it the 10 i experienced.

    The true test of a bethesda game was fallout 76. Where there is no active modding community and it shows how crappy the game really is.

    Serious now: Skyrim is, actually, the best game ever made. You MIGHT think that his younger and retarded brother is better (you know, that fake Skyrim, made by a Poland game company), but you are wrong. In Skyrim you don't play with a generic medieval hero who is a ' badass **** cool witcher', YOU ARE the character. You answer the questions, you do your decisions based on what you think that is right.

    This game is, from what i know, the best "Lol do whatever you want just make sure you will have fun okay?" and that is amazing. I could talk about this game forever, just play it okay?

    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. As the neurons in your brain permeate this thought throughout your head, you will die.

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

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!

    The story is great, branches off into multiple areas, leading you to new locations cleverly, and although at times it can feel a bit samey, you have to remember, it is vast, you can literally spend hours just wandering about.

    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)

    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".

    The base game is amazing, but the mods really improve it a lot, a LOT.
    Skyrim is a one-time experience, and it is a great one. they really **** that up with the paid mod stuff, but i think thats in the past now that they took it back

    This is my favourite game ever. It was the first game I ever played nonstop when it first came out. I just couldn’t get enough. The music, the environments, the quests, I just loved it.

    This is a great game, a great RPG, but I feel like it's a tad overrated. It might be technically superior to Oblivion and past TES titles, but I don't like the menu interface and GUI in general. I understand they went with the design so it would work/look as best as it could on multiple platforms, but that doesn't make it any better for me, the player.

I understand they went with the design so it would work/look as best as it could on multiple platforms, but that doesn't make it any better for me, the player. 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.

    Gameplay Enjoyability (0 - worst, 10 - best)

    Story - 8
    Lore - 10
    Character Creation - 9 (vanilla skyrim CC isn't as in-depth as Oblivion's)
    Looting/equipment finding - 10
    Questing/variety - 7 (the quests didn't draw me in the way they did in Oblivion)
    Combat - 8
    Side quests/activities - 10 (admittedly, building your own house via dlc is pretty fun I found)
    Music/soundtrack - 10 (the dovakiin theme song from PR/commercials was genius)
    Visuals - 7 (vanilla)

    Skyrim is one of the best RPG of all time it has all the elements of an rpg game whether its quests, survival or story it has acheived its milestone creating an example for modern rpgs, there are some glitches here and there but it wont be noticed because the player will start to live as the character.

    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]
