I really enjoy this game. I have been a fan of the series since Morrowwind. This game has the expansiveness of Morrowwind and the fun and interesting sturyline/gameplay like Oblivion. With many added features that people who have been fans of the Elder Scrolls games will enjoy, and enough of a separate story from the others that someone who has never played an Elder Scrolls game will be able pick it up and have a basic idea of what is going on. Most of the important events in the previous games gets summed up in this one so it wont be too confusing for people new to the series. The book that comes with the collectors edition is an enormous concept art book with details on why they chose certain cities to look the way they do and it is really interesting to see what their vision was of Skyrim. Also there is a statue of Alduin(the dragon/main bad guy from the game) with a pedastal which is kind of neat. There is also a behind the scenes blu-ray that comes with it. It is really cool to watch and see what the developers did to make the game and such. I think that this is a great game and the Collectors edition is very much worth it, but probably wouldn't be worth it to people who are new to the series they might want to just stick with the regular edition game.
