The game that I have chosen to review for this week is the most recent release to the Elder Scrolls series, Skyrim. Skyrim is a hugely successful successor to the also successful Elder Scrolls: Oblivion. The plot behind Skyrim is rather simple: Dragons are coming back to Tamriel and they’re very angry, having been ousted from power aeons ago. The province of Skyrim is engaged in a brutal civil war between separatist and imperialist factions, so nobody’s really treating these giant lizards as a serious threat. You, however, are about to discover your latent powers as the ‘Dragonborn’, meaning that the defence of the realm is entirely down to you. As far as forging your own story within this colossal open-world RPG goes, the rest is laid out in a series of action/consequence decisions, from the moment you complete the intro and step out into the wilderness of Skyrim. As you traverse through the world of Skyrim and encounter various enemies your character will gain stronger in his or her abilities based on how much you use them For every skill you use, be it lock-picking, destruction magic, heavy armour, blacksmithing, or whatever else, there is an attached skill tree with several or more perks. These perks grant you special abilities or unlock new options within that particular skill, but the clever part is that you can’t simply learn any perk you like straight away. These perks allow your character to become stronger and add extra abilities to attacks depending on the style of attack. Besides killing vicious animals and evil vampires along with whatever else decides to attack you there’s more to Skyrim than just the killing as you can also marry, buy houses and horses, and even open a shop. So whether it is for the killing and cool cut scenes and beheading of enemies or the adventurous aspect of the game Skyrim is one of the best games and I would recommend it to anyone.
