    Just overall the best game I've ever played, they've truly outdone themselves on this game. It is art and will always be known as one of the greatest rpgs ever created during this era of games. I can see my self easily putting 200-300 hours in Skyrim over the next few years until TES 6 is released.

    A little over hyped and over rated. It’s an RPG you can win without leveling up. The customization is tired. The random quest generation is weak and repetitive, the story and interesting characters are both non-existent. The game is gorgeous and interesting to explore but bland in the end.

    Even after nearly 10 years, Bethesdas super addictive 5th installment to their popular franchise still hold's up. Pack with hours of 1000's of quests to do, this is a game that never gets stale or dull. Even if you don't care for the story line.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is Bethesda at their absolute best, and it's just such a shame to see how far they have fallen since the release of Skyrim, when they were so beloved by the gaming community. Skyrim is polished, fun, captivating, emotional and, perhaps most importantly, extremely atmospheric. Back in the day, this was the ultimate open-world experience and would've easily earned a 10/10 for me. Because I generally try to judge games by the standards of the time, I have to give Skyrim a 10/10. And while some of the graphics, animations and overall gameplay are a bit dated -- what else is to be expected? -- it still, after all this time, has to be considered as one of the greatest open-world experiences out there. And that says alot. Expand

    I still remember the first time I had Skyrim in my hands, it was 2014 and I was playing Resident Evil 6 and my mother came home from work with Skyrim, I stopped playing and started to look at the cover but on that At that time I was still very excited about RE 6 and ended up not playing Skyrim on the same day, however when I did I discovered one of the best worlds ever created in a game.I still remember the first time I had Skyrim in my hands, it was 2014 and I was playing Resident Evil 6 and my mother came home from work with Skyrim, I stopped playing and started to look at the cover but on that At that time I was still very excited about RE 6 and ended up not playing Skyrim on the same day, however when I did I discovered one of the best worlds ever created in a game.

    Skyrim is easily one of, if not my favorite game of all time, I love the universe created here, the immersion provided by this game was unbelievable, I had never experienced anything like this (at the time I played it I was 13 and I remember asking "is Bethesda famous?" little did I know what was to come lol) and i got addicted to it for several months (to this day I still play from time to time).

    Positive Points:

    Main Quest (people often complain that the main quest is weak but I still don't understand why, for me the story of Dovahkiin is quite interesting and my only criticism of the campaign is maybe its duration, but I always mix main quest with side quests, and exploration and that ends up making me immersed in the universe in such a way that I just don't realize it's short)

    Freedom (Honestly? is one of the best points of this game, you can just skip the main quest and still have several stories and adventures to try out, you can skip all the quests and still have immense fun exploring this game, you can being a werewolf, vampire, wizard, warrior, archer, the freedom provided here is surreal)

    Immersion (If you stop to experience the universe created here, you will have one of the best experiences ever in a game, you open a book and suddenly a sidequest starts, in it you meet a ghost, discover a forge made by a lost civilization and the story unfolds, maybe you are just walking and you find a house in the forest, there you discover a place of "appreciation" of a different skooma, you use it and end up trapped by vampires)

    Universe creation (You can spend hours and hours just reading books, uncovering several stories that took place before Skyrim's timeline or even current issues in the game, it's really fascinating)

    Soundtrack (It's just fabulous, the background songs, the battle songs, the tavern songs (highlight for , the song The Dragonborn Comes), the music played in Sovngarde, are all just amazing)

    Gameplay (another point that people often complain about but I particularly find the gameplay satisfactory, I played most of mine as a wizard so ...)

    Atmosphere (I love the Nordic theme so I don't need to say anything else lol)

    Negative points:

    Be the leader of everything (In all faction quests you will end up as the leader or top figure within that faction, it bothers me a lot because in my view it doesn't make sense to be archmage of Winterwold school and leader of thieves guild. To buy houses you need to become thane and ends up becoming thane of all cities which again doesn't make sense and the same can be said of becoming champion of all daedras at the same time)

    Companions (Most of them have no personality and end up serving only as cargo, I like Lydia, Brelyna but this is more due to my immersion in the game than character development)

    Repetition of voice actors

    Anyway, it's a fantastic game and it was with it that I had my first experience with RPGS making me love this style of game. I would say that Skyrim is a must for everyone who likes video games.

    I think this game is overrated to be honest. It's fine, but after a while combat gets boring and its just who has better numbers and how many pieces of cheese do you have. Some quests are pretty interesting, while others are boring, and sometimes even frustrating. Overall, the game is fine, but I don't think it's as good as it's reputation makes it seem.

Skyrim is the solution to that issue. It is easy to understand while also giving you the freedom to create whatever you want. Do you want to be the most powerful mage in all of Skyrim? You can do that. Do you want to be a simple saw mill worker who chops wood all day to make a living? You can do that too. Gone are the days where you play an RPG and hope that you made the right selections to make your character exactly how you wanted. In Skyrim you know what every perk does because it says it clearly so you know exactly what you're getting. On top of this you also have so many great quest lines you can complete no matter what kind of character you choose to be. Now I'm not saying every storyline is completely perfect much like some of the glitches found in the game they're still entertaining. I've played Skyrim for thousands of hours and made hundreds of characters and I still go back to it every now and again because it really is that good. Despite everything that people who hate the game say about how it "is too glitchy" or that it "is not a real RPG" I still find it to be one of the best games of all time. Expand

Pero lo peor de todo Skyrim sin duda son sus bugs, es increible como en la especial edition sigue habiendo bugs, y no simples bugs visuales... si no que tambien bugs donde directamente no puedes seguir la mision, y esto es una tocaddura de huevos importante.

But besides this the universally loved world of The Elder Scrolls delivered in 2011 and still delivers to this day. Every inch of this world is inspired and hand crafted. So much variety in the way you can play and full of great items and gear to make every playthrough feel fresh. It does hit its walls after playing the game through several times. But the point is you still played through it COUNTLESS times. Expand

    Skyrim is one of these games where you can truly become whoever you want and do, mostly, whatever you want. Want to kill guards? Sure go ahead, prepare for the consequences though.
    The skill tree is immense and really makes you want to try different builds (mage, alchemist, barbarian, knight, ....). I spent my entire summer of 2012 playing this game and creating different characters, some

    I will forever be grateful to have tried it, it was my first BGS game and I have to put it on my top 3 games of all time along with Minecraft and GTA4.

    The combat system of the game consists of many different weapons, abilities and magic spells, which really make the combats of the game challenging and attractive.
    What is a bit interesting is the technical problems and artificial intelligence of the game, which do not hinder the progress of the player in the game at all Skyrim, with its very beautiful and unique design of the main and secondary factions, characters, spells and abilities, its vast and attractive combat system, its wonderful map design, and of course its music, Skyrim does something that has been in my mind for many years. to remain a player and turn himself into an eternal work

    Uno de los mejores juegos de la historia, aunque hoy en 2022 es mucho mejor su versión de 10 aniversario para consolas next gen. En su tiempo skyrim fue una revolución

    Skyrim is a big mess of a game. On the one hand, Bethesda's game design sucks. The combat is really bad. RPG choice making is borderline nonexistent. Character progression has been excessively streamlined. Level scaling makes it feel like you arent getting stronger. There is an over abundance of loot. There are tons of immersion breaking things happening in the world.

    On the other hand, content is king. Skyrim has a ton of content. Not all of it is great, most of it isnt even good. But there's quite a lot, dozens of hours worth, of great content. So I have to give it props for that.

    But to get to that content you have to slog through some horrific gameplay. And its not like the main story saves that. Mods, do, however, save this game and can make it an 8/10 game. But vanilla is a 5 at best.

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    The fifth Elder Scrolls game has more impressive visuals, slicker combat and a more user friendly menu system than the previous game as well as creating an absorbing and believable world to explore and interact with. Not quite as good as the Mass Effect games, but a worthy runner up.

    Even without the DLCs, this game got me playing it for days and days in a feral way, it's just an amazing game that can't be explained and must be played before talking about it, the bad thing about it it's dealing with the joypad for a game that looks so much like it was born for a PC

    This epic role-playing game might be Bethesda's best game yet, and offers an unique and spectacular world filled with fun. The freedom ensures a great experience for both the casual and hardcore gamer, as you're free to play the game how you like.

    Skyrim is the largest, and most compelling work that I've had the opportunity to play this year. It's engaging, engrossing, and will take over your gaming life for many months to come. Not only is Skyrim among the best that 2011 has to offer, but for me, this is, without hesitation, the Game of the Year.
