Make sure to have enough time on your hands to play this worth the money

I had briefly heard about this game at work from a couple co-workers now most cases I wouldn't go near role-playing games because they aren't the type I play but I decided to give this game a try I kept renting this game until finally I was able to buy it I'm really glad I played it because not only it's a rpg but also action and adventure tied into it which makes the perfect combination for a video game everything about this game lives up to it there really is not a dull moment with the game-play always something to do everything in the game is magnificently and beautifully detailed you can easily rack up so many hours in the game without doing the main and side quests only really dislike is it takes a long time to level up your character this is one of those games where it will take up a majority of your time so hard to tear yourself away you will probably find yourself trying to do the dragon shouts in real life in conclusion one of the funnest rpg and action/adventure games I've played definitely worth whatever price you pay for it

In my opinion, one of the greatest games of all time.

Skyrim is an awesome game. After playing this game for many hours (before my cat ruined the disk, leading to me getting another copy), I can say that the total immersion of Skyrim is near legendary, with hundreds of hours of gameplay and beautiful scenery. The replay value is insane as there are so many ways that you can lead a new character to glory. If that wasn't enough, there is literally 186 clearable places to explore, dragons, and more than 200 quests to complete, each and every one different than the last. I have only one problem with this game, and as with most Bethesda games, it has lots of bugs, but all of the content more than makes up for that.

Great experience overall! Tons of gameplay! Great value for money!

This game is absolutely fabulous! Arguably the most deep and best RPG ever made. Possibilities are "endless" in regards to how you choose to play this game and the characteristics of your avatar. You have to really immerse yourself to really enjoy this game though. It is a whole new world, therefore you will have to take some time to understand how everything is done in Skyrim and probably read some online tips how to make the most of the opportunities offered to your character throughout the game.

Once you did that, you will enjoy this game maybe more than any other game you possess!
It is an absolute "no brainer" if you are weighting whether buying it or not. GO FOR SKYRIM!

Best RPG of 2011.

Simply amazing! In my opinion clearly the best in the series and my personal GOTY. The limitless freedom of exploration returns and lets you experience an unique adventure that is setting milestones in the RPG genre. You have the complete freedom in what you do, there is not even a real class you choose: You build up your complete own in the flow of the game. The huge environment invites you to explore every single part of it with beautiful landscapes, an amazing soundtrack and interesting sidequests around every corner. It has been a long time since I was this satisfied with a game.

Enjoyable with a few flaws that don't break the experience!

Skyrim's combat has improved over Oblivion's, but there is no dodge or roll mechanic. And to add to that armor and block skills are hard to level up unless you are purposefully grinding them. And to add to that alchemy and enchanting are hard to level up unless you find new alchemy recipes and enchantments. So basically the skills that enhance your combat prowess(besides blacksmithing and weapon skills) are not as relevant in your playthrough unless you purposefully grind them(which is boring). The quests are quite good though in some cases repetitive. The environments are amazing and the dungeons are much more varied than in Oblivion. Also character animations and interactions with NPCs are much better. This game is very immersive but certain hard to level up skills and recurring quests take away some of the game's glamour.
