This is a great signle-player Sword and Sorcery computer Role-playing game that pits you against the World of Skyrim on your system. You escape a near execution for crossing the border with a bunch of rebels, then grab weapons and armor and food in the confusion of a dragon attack, then you travel the colorful world of Skyrim, surviving amushes and animal attacks, receiving and fulfilling quests, and in the process decide if you want to throw in with the Imperials or the Rebels. You pick your race and develop your levels of warrior skills, mage skills, thief skills, etc. This is great fun, and eventually you get to fight giants and dragons. I have a friend whose character has reached level 40. The NPCs interact with you and provide the quests. The graphics are GREAT, and the world is open, meaning you can go anywhere on the map. You also can get NPC companions who will travel with you and help you fight and retrieve items. You can play in first person or third person view. I bought the game because my friend and his friends highly recommended it and told me there were 80+ hours of playing time. I recommend getting the PC version as there is a mod kit for the PC, and lots of mods available for download for free, such as more realistic lighting, changing the moon to look like the Sky Wars Death Star, new nifty armor you can craft, a player's home that is placed in Skyrim, and additional quests. This game is amazing; I have not played any other Elder Scroll games like Morrowind or Oblivion, so this is all pretty new to me, but I just reached level 2 after about 2 hours of playing. I would highly recommend this game. It does require a Steam account (free) to download updates and to play (you can also download many of the mods from Steam.) There is talk of a massive multi-player Elder Scrolls online (ESO) game but that is not what this is.Read full review
I have purchased Prima Guides for most of the first-person shooter games I own as they are so well researched and informative. This guide on Skyrim is an absolute must as the game playing area is huge and loaded with a myriad of challenges from friends and enemies both above ground and underground. With so many factions and followers to choose from, having a goto manual really helps keep the bewildering options manageable. The magic and alchemy aspects alone are worth the price of the book. Like making potions to boost health or resist a mage's spells. The book has tables for those as well as descriptions of armor and weapon damage ratings, available perks for taking on a companion or even marrying one. With a game as big as this and as expensive, why wouldn't you get the most out of the experience? Did I mention they come with a big map of locations? It's a great value for the money; get it.Read full review

I'm not an avid game player, but this game and the Elder Scrolls Oblivion got me started. I have over 200 hours on the game and the graphics are great. This is especially true about the dragons and wolves fighting scenes. The story line follows a certain line and you can branch off on side quest if you want. The only down on this game is the wintery scenes. Sometimes it is hard to follow the enemy
