game review

I was asked to post a review of elderscrolls 5: Skyrim.

Its a bit difficult to cover the ENTIRE game because this game is EXPANSIVE

i dont just mean playable surface, but the depth of characters, quests, equipment, abilities, everything. is HUGE.

I reached lvl 50 my first play through, and completed all the main story quests etc, and had a GREAT experience

the controlls are fluid and intuitive

the graphics are practically artisitc and beautiful

the dragons are fearsome. and awesome. and scary.

My ONLY issue with the game, comes with a few glitches.

i think because of the sheer size of this game, a few important game play details fell through the cracks.

what i mean by this, is that some of the things you do/destroy/kill in quests directly affect your ability to complete OTHER quests (because you already killed a key character etc)

the other big issue i had, which really sucked cause i had accomplished SO MUCH in this go-through, was that an unfortunate glitch caused my character to literally disappear. so that i was running around and swinging my sword, but i couldnt actually see it, or myself.

a foolish decision caused me to delete that game and start ALL OVER (a very daunting and tedious task) so we'll see if i ever accomplish that much again...

i think i might make my guy look like gandalf from LOTR this time...
