a complete work of art. This game is stunningly beautiful and provides hundreds of hours of entertainment. The fantasy world is huge and hours can be spent wandering aimlessly through the countryside happening across all types of mystical and magical enemies and allies. Bethesda the developers are well known for their open world games suck as Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas as well as the other elder scrolls games. This is the first game i have played and I am more than impressed. Now that this game is almost a year old it can be bought for relatively cheap and is definitely worth purchasing. The levelling system is different to that of the fallout series, in Skyrim you gain experience in certain disciplines such as archery, heavy armour, smithing etc. and when enough disciplines have levelled up you go up a character level. Going up a character level allows you to improve your health, stamina or magicka as well as picking from dozens of perks.
