The latest addition to the Elder Scrolls universe is expected to elevate the series to new heights. Featuring a brand new engine, Skyrim is shedding the poorly aged GameBryo. Players enter the role of the Dragonborn, an individual prophesied to take on the Sons of Skyrim, an army not unlike the Vikings of old. If you’re wondering where Skyrim happens to be, it lies somewhere to the north of Cyrodiil in TES4: Oblivion.

In terms of raw value, $60 seems like a paltry sum for the massive amounts of content and gameplay within Skyrim‘s heights. It will certainly prove to be the Game of the Year contender everyone can agree upon and continue that sentiment through 2012.

I could write all day about all of the finer aspects about improved races, cultures, things you could do like cooking and other jobs, alchemy, and other fun things, but I’d rather keep playing! So go play it yourself to learn even more! If you are sitting on the fence about whether or not to get Skyrim, get it. It is worth it a million times over. The amount of time you could spend in this game is practically endless. The only potentially bad thing is that you could lose sleep because you won’t want to stop playing.

As you might expect, these classes range widely and you should pick the one that caters to your play style. Mostly for the sake of this review, I selected the Imperial, as he is capable in both melee combat and magic, so I could easily test both aspects of combat. But in truth, the game isn’t as restrictive as you might think: as an Imperial, I can still wear most anything I want, and equip most anything I want. I can use a bow, too; I may not be as good at it as the elf, but I can use it. This freedom for all classes is absolutely fantastic.

Lastly large stone obelisks called Guardian Stones are scattered around the gamespace. Found during your travels, they grant you the ability to boost the rate that certain skills upgrade. While I thought Guardian Stones would have played a larger role in the game, it’s just one more indulgence Bethesda has made to further epic sized RPG.

We could go on, but then this review would be in danger of being as huge as the game is itself – there’s plenty of stuff we haven’t talked about (Shouts, Werewolves), hell, probably plenty of stuff we’ve forgotten to talk about. Just go and play it and you’ll see what we mean. Despite how good the game is though, in its own way it’s a little niche – not in terms of content but in terms of the core of its design. A lot of people don’t like the openness of free-form games, the lack of direction, and if you’re one of the those people then you probably won’t get on with Skyrim because it’s openness personified and in that respects nothing has, or will ever, change.

I’ve dabbled in Elder Scrolls games before, but they always seemed to be the wrong combination of intimidatingly huge and mechanically clunky (not to mention kind of ugly). Skyrim is the chapter that’s finally pulled me in, and suddenly I find myself smitten with the series. Not just the games, but the lore, and the insane level of thought that’s been invested in the world of Tamriel. I have every intention of seeing this game to its end, even if that demands months of my life. It’s not a perfect creation by any means, but I can happily overlook the flaws for a little more time with my wonderful, deadly Lady. Now if you’ll excuse me, she and I have about 40 open quest lines to resolve, and there are only so many hours in the day for picking off bandits with well-aimed arrows from the dark.

At this point, I have the unfortunate duty to tell you that Bethesda is still in the business of releasing only semi-functional games. The developer has become famous for putting out bug-filed titles and never really getting around to fixing them. And they’re keeping the streak alive in Skyrim.

The rest of the combat system allows players to dual-wield weapons and magical attacks – provided of course, their weapon of choice doesn’t require two hands to swing. Every successful attack earns XP which can be used to level up, and your character will also become more proficient in the types of weapons and magic they use the most in battle. When levelling up, the player is awarded a choice of topping up their health, magic or stamina, and is given a talent point they can use to unlock a perk in the talent tree of their choice.
