9.5/10
PS3, Xbox 360, PC
You play as dovahkiin (dragonborn), a race with the power to learn and harness the power of thu'ums (dragon shouts) and absorb the souls of dragons for their strength. With this power, you are destined to stop Alduin, The World Eater from destroying Tamriel.
You start the game by making your character, but unlike previous games you only choose your race and gender, and build your character through your actions over time.
Combat feels great, most of the time, but other times it can be a little clunky. When attacking an enemy, it can sometimes feel like your slashing at thin air instead of actually hitting anything.
Dragons are the selling point for Skyrim's main story but the excitement of fighting a dragon quickly disappears as they all do the same thing. They become more of an annoyance after awhile.
There are numerous glitches in Skyrim, some of them being funny, useful exploits or just plain annoying things like sinking through the ground and becoming stuck or an invisible wall blocking your path.
Some of the stories are short and not very well written, but with so many other things that are well written, this can easily be overlooked.
Skyrim should be a game to be taken in all at once, because if you inspect one item too closely you'll notice that the graphics and textures aren't nearly as good as they could be. The designs are still well made and details in equipment are fantastic.
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is a great game, but has much to improve on.

Nekromantlc Robotic Draconian Nekromantlc is it true you slow down if you carry alot of items? Yes. Each item has it's own weight and you can only carry a certain amount of weight. You can increase it but it starts out as only being able to carry 300 weight. hmm ok well at least you cant over do it right wich is kind of cool in its own way!
Well, it slows down adventuring, since if you do what I do and take the expensive gear off every enemy you kill, you have to go back to towns and sell the items before you can continue exploring.

I can just imagine how long that should take and you can also fast travle right? so im sure somthing might go wrong along the way.

I believe that Skyrim is an awesome game. The only problem is that Bethesda is taking a LOT of shortcuts since Morrowind. I remember that in Morrowind, the detail in suiting your avatar in armor was amazing. Not only could you choose the torso, gloves, and boots; but it let you also mix and match armor pieces, like choosing separate leg, arm, shoulder, foot, and glove armor along with the torso and head. But now it's almost whole body, gloves, boots, and helm. I understand the hard work it takes to make a game with that much detail and while meeting a certain deadline and that can cause some events that weren't expected to happen. Sometimes, I wish they would have stuck with the original armor style of Morrowind. That way, you can have a truly unique Skyrim Character.
