When you begin Skyrim, you are about to embark upon an epic journey.

This game is simply HUGE, not only in terms of map size, but also in terms of the characters in the game, the amount of things you can interact with, the amount of different potions, magic and weaponary you can use and in terms of the number of missions upon which you can embark.

Whilst there is a main quest which you can follow throughout the game, you can play the game however you like and hone whatever skills you want. You can choose your character's appearance and skills at the start and you are then thrust into a huge world where you can do whatever you want; take on bandits, perform fetch-quests, sneak around and steal things, it really is a great feeling of liberation, with an overarching main quest that you can follow


You can choose to play the game in first or third person mode (I personally preferred third person) which is a great idea to ease worries for those that suffer from motion sickness.

I would recommend this game for any serious gamer that has a lot of time on their hands!
