The province of Skyrim might be frigid, but the role-playing game that takes place within it burns with a fire few games possess. In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, you take up arms against dragons, and your encounters with them are invariably exciting--yet depending on where your adventure takes you,...

Immense world stuffed with varied tasks to perform; Dragon battles are a blast; Lovely art design capped by some beautiful; atmospheric touches; Enjoyable battles that you can approach in a variety of ways; Lots of compelling; self-contained stories to experience in addition to the main one

Glitches and bugs frequently disrupt the immersion; Friendly AI is often more of a hindrance than a help

Despite a rather ho-hum main quest, Dragonborn is crammed with enough side quests and new stuff to be an exciting add-on.

Elder Scrolls V will have you playing for hours. Though I do caution married men to not get too lost in the fantasy world and remember to spend time with your wives.

What the hell have I gotten myself into? First I got involved with some rebellion, and that led me to the headsman's block, and then there was a dragon, and weird voices, and...

While I was taking a stroll outside on a hot sunny day, a flash of a shadow raced over the ground in front of me. With horror on my face I jumped around scanning the skies for what could only mean my imminent death.

A game like Skyrim poses a serious question to how game reviewers do their job. In general, we follow a pretty rigid schedule; start game, play game, finish game, write about game. But what happens when a game never ends?

I've seen a lot of complaints, but I think they're nuts. This is a really cool game. I've never encountered Steam before, and I was a little uncomfortable having to deal with another entity, but I discovered it's hassle free.

It's similar to Oblivion, but they took out some of the annoying stuff, and made the game more fun to play; The graphics are stunning; It's wide open for new adventures.

It won't load itself into the drive; I had to actually do the work of taking it out of it's box, and putting it in the drive myself; I tried to say, "Hello computer," to the mouse a couple of times, but in the end, I had to physically push the power button.

Skyrim will always be one of my favorite, if not my favorite, game of all time. The world is so expansive - beautiful, yet treacherous - and the characters you meet are all different.

Very good game! I get 35-50 FPS on Medium graphics settings. Loads extremely quick. My setup: Phenom X4 2.6GHZ 4GB DDR2 RAM 9800 GT 1GB 350w PSU 1920x1080 resolution 640 GB HDD

Excellent gameplay; fast loading on good PCs; mods available; most DLC available a month after Xbox; endless gameplay; good storylines

Some plots become repetitive; too many caves

The game on it's own is still a great game, and is honestly how I would recommend starting out to feel the full experience of the released game, the great part about this pack is you automatically start with all three expansions (even if Hearthfire is a lesser pack).
