The Northern Lights flit across the sky, icy tundras haunt the coldest areas and forests of dappled shadow surround the intrepid adventurer every five minutes you must catch your breath before it leaves you in appreciation. Use this relaxing time to your advantage the world of Skyrim is one of almost unbelievable beauty and imagination. I tried to search for a legendary sword to no avail, only to find it stashed in the loot of a bandit nearby something that, as far as I'm aware, hasn't happened in anybody else's sandbox world.Īs you can imagine for such an enormous area, there is plenty of travelling to be done. Likewise, the game morphs and changes by itself. In fulfilling a contract for the Dark Brotherhood, the assassin's guild, I removed an entire quest and storyline that I was entirely unaware of until a recommendation from a friend. This can effect the game in ways that are almost inconceivable. There are no morality bars here the grey area between right and wrong is filled in by your own personal mindset.
Skyrim offers a remarkable scope of choice, from quest completion and character development (and aesthetics) through to more abstract choices such as who to support in a civil war, which Daedric lord to work for and which repetitious mine worker you really, really want to drag to a swamp and torture.
