installment to the franchise “Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim”, gamers are placed back

the Elder Scrolls universe and are going to be amazed at what is in store.

treasures, quests and intriguing characters. At the beginning of the game you
are given the option to choose and create your character in any way you see
fit, with a wide variety of species and races to choose from such as Nord,
Elves, Redkin or even Khajiit (if you are up for being a cat person, literally)
and from there you can add even more personal touches to your character such a
facial features to really make your character your own. From there you set out

hooked comes from one of the most unique and challenging enemies in the game,
Dragons. Part of the games experience is taking on the mantle of the
Dragon-born, a warrior who fights Dragons and is able to steal their power by
absorbing their soul, these dragon souls can be used to unlock Thunes or words
of power found all over the game and unlock powers for your character that
range from things such as the ability to breathe fire, create a blast of wind
or even freeze time. If that weren’t enough to get you excited about “Skyrim”,
players can further their characters power through gaining experience and
leveling up their characters making them a force not to be taken lightly.
Players gain experience for doing various in game activities such as killing
opponents and completing the various story and side quests, when you choose to
level up you are given the option to upgrade your skills any way you’d like
whether you want to upgrade your stealth to make you undetectable by enemies or
upgrade your swordsmanship skills to make you handy with a blade and so much
more. “Skyrim” is a game that comes jam packed with so many things to see and
do you will find it hard just to pull yourself away from the action.

realize it because you are having that much fun. And while things may have
