| before anyone asks how did i get this game.. few stores broke the release date this monday and i was lucky enough to get the game i just beated most of the guilds and the main story im not going to cover everything because the game is freaking huge so here we go..
THE STORY the story is set 200 years after oblivion the high king of skyrim is murdered and a guy named ulfric that has a rebellious cult called "the sons of skyrim" takes over the throne this pisses off the imperials and theres a civil war between them you start the game as a unknown prisoner sentenced to death just before your head gets decapitated Alduin appears from the sky and destroys the village you make your run towards a house and you choose which path to take either help a imperial soldier or a stormcloak (son of skyrim) soldier after that mess goes off the whole world is opened and you can do what you want i dont want to spoil anything more than that because the story is far better than oblivion and even fallout 3 in my opinion theres tons of awesome stuff to see,dragons to fight,a new realm to briefly explore (sorry had to say it) and tons of twists now the storyline as i said its awesome and i dont see any way how its bad i bet any TES junkie will love the story
so for the story 10.0
THE GRAPHICS the graphics are simply amazing..the enviroments,the caves,the cities all that looks ravishing but i played the game on the 360 and the graphics for the character models and the textures for some interiors and exteriors are bad considering the game has amazing enviroments it looks horrible on some levels compared to what the enviroments look in the game it kinda hurts the overall experience but i bet the graphics are far better on the pc as of now the graphics are still awesome and i give the graphics a high score but they are not the best
so for the graphics 9.0
THE GAMEPLAY now this is the most important factor in all games the gameplay how is it? well for the most part its freaking awesometacular it uses the concept from fallout and oblivion and makes it 10 times better theres so many shit to do in this game is absolutely mind freaking boggling the guilds for the most part are incredible i loved every guild though i think the companions (the fighters guild) could have been longer but other than that the guilds are spectacular i do think some people might be pissed off because of the dark brotherhood but give it a time.the quests for the dark brotherhood are still amazing you have tons of perks to choose,tons of levels to level up the combat is similar to oblivion (which is a good thing) but they improved on it,you can execute the enemies with a cinematic takedown.it appears randomly and sometimes its incredibly useful the game has a similar feel to bioshock attacking with one hand while using a spell on the other or double handed swords or 2 one armed swords OR 2 spells so that you can create more powerful magic sprinting is introduced and during your roaming in skyrim..you will use it 95 percent of the time its pretty great to escape some enemies but at the same time,the stamina is distinguishing off quickly i havent tried becoming a vampire but becoming a werewolf is like a rage mode in a video game you can feed off the enemies to prolong your werewolf form but after it goes off you have to wait after 12pm a.k.a you can use it once a day theres tons of enemies,dungeons,towns,villages,dragons to fight etc.. the crafting is great,so is cooking and making armors and weapons they are all similar in a way you only just need the right ingredients the gameplay sounds awesome and is but the dragon fights dont require much tactics they mostly fly around in the air and shoot fire or ice at you after some period they will land and you just need to hack them off or throw some spells repeat that and they are dead at first they are difficult,you just need the right equipment now dont get me wrong,the dragon fights are still awesome but they are bit repetive over time also theres tons of bugs and glitches the game is huge but there are glitches and bugs that you will encounter some of them are just hilarious and still my biggest gripe from oblivion is still in this game the freaking animations for the human characters they still kinda move around and walk like they did in oblivion dont get me wrong,they are indeed improved but they still look sluggish
so for the gameplay 9.5
FUN FACTOR the fun factor will get a perfect score because the game is huge..theres tons of stuff that you dont even know when i say the game is huge..it really is thats been said for fallout and oblivion but trust me you will be fiddling with the quests whcih one to start or which one to finish lets not mention theres tons of side quests and stuff to do the bugs and the glitches are irritating and the dragon fights are still a bit straight forward the graphics for the console versions on some places are just washed off but if you look at the total package skyrim offers more than any game that has come out this year COMBINED!! you will be playing this game for countless hours and you will love most of the experience i havent even scratched the surface of what ive said lets not forget shadowmere and lucien laschance return lucien is a familiar and has the same voice actor from oblivion which is amazing theres tons of books,enchantments,dungeons,towns,villages,guilds,quests to explore if theres any game you need to at least buy for the end of the year its fucking SKYRIM!! and lets not forget the awesome soundtrack its has the best soundtrack ive heard these past few years
so for the fun factor 10.0
FINAL SCORE:THE ELDER SCROLLS V SKYRIM GETS A... 9.7

Try playing Sonic The Hedgehog 06. That game is and was fucking terrible and it ruined the Sonic franchise. | |

I have and I could only handle about an hour. lmao. I am one of the only people around to beat the game I guess. The game is fucking terrible, with massive glitches and horrible plot holes, that add nothing to an already horrid game. Oh and beastiality WHAT THE FUCK WAS SEGA AND SONIC TEAM THINKING?????????????????????// anyways, back on topic. | |

Just asking out of curiosity. you mean the main story? i did the whole dark brotherhood story before completing the main one and it was about 18 hours it would probably be less if i just ran through the whole story without doing any side quests | |
