This is an absolutely massive game there is so much to do and loads of variety. it is also a beautiful game from time to time I find myself stopped staring at the scenery watching the snow fall and the waterfall tumbling. It was a contender for my game of the year however there is far too many missions that I am unable to complete because of bugs in the game. This being said it is a very good game, the Dragon Shouts are not quite as powerful as he trailers make out but they are very useful. You can have a companion and dog with you, I do not bother with a companion because to be honest I can not be bothered to make sure that they stay alive, also I haven't found a dog I want to keep yet. One of the most fun parts of the game is the College Of Winterhold it has a very Harry Potter feel to it. Overall it is a very good game and I have clocked over 150 hours and will continue to play it for probably that amount again.
