This is my first review that i have done for a game here, and i think this is the perfect game to review. There are a lot of rpgs on the market and there a lot of rpgs that can be considered top in its class. This game surpasses that. How so......read on......i'll tell you. When it comes to vast landscapes, hours of adventures, a good story, solid game play, and all around fun, this game offers that fully. The dept of the game is deeper than many games and the only game that can probably get close to being as deep as it is, is its predecessor. You can basically do whatever you want to do. You want to explore different cities and villages, do it. Want to smith your own weapons and sell them to earn some extra gold, go for it. Wanna make armor and enchant it so it can better protect you, enchant away! Want to loot and plunder caves, rob villagers, sleep all day, wake up and go on an epic quest for a dog, HAVE AT YOU! In this game, you can literally do whatever you wish. The only boundaries you have is your on imagination. The graphics on the game is phenomenal. Not a giant step above oblivion, but still beautiful none the less. The character models are awesome, and they don't all look alike!!! *yay!* The scenery of Skyrim is very impressive, and lets not talk about the water animation, it looks as if you can literally dip your hand in it and take a sip.....well.....hoping a deer didn't relieve itself in it upstream. The amount of time that you can spend on this game is crazy. There is so much to do in this game that if your new to the Elder Scrolls games, you could get overwhelmed very easily. On the bright side however, they made the interface a lot easier to use now, so if you are new to the series, it will be easy to just pick up and play. The favorites list has to be one of the best new installments in this game that i like. Now, you can select any weapon, armor, or magic spell that you frequently use, and add it to your favorites. To select an item as your favorite, simply click the Y or triangle button and BAM! Now all you have to do is push up on the D pad to select it. The leveling up system has also changed making it easier for new players to get in and get there feet wet. When selecting new perks, don't just focus on one particular tree, move around to the others and see what they have to offer, and let me tell you, there is a LOT to offer. You can basically be and do whatever you want, there is no 'Warrior' class, or 'Rouge' class, you can be a big, strong meat eatin' guy, that runs around all day casting fire spells and using a dagger, or, a skinny high elf with a gigantic battle axe that eats carrots all day. Its totally up to you. I can keep going on about this game, but it would be better if i stop talking, and YOU get to playing. Speaking of which, i'm gonna go play now. and to those who are about to game, I SALUTE YOU!
