Review – The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (XBox 360)

Posted by Langridge on December 22, 2011

“11/11/11 was the day I lost any trace of having a life”  That is what I believe many people will say when they look back on that day for that is the day that we were graced with the arrival of a new Elder Scrolls game.   Not just any Elder Scrolls game, but Skyrim, a game in the making long before it was officially announced at the Spike Video Game Awards in December of 2010, making fans of the series count down the days for nearly a whole year till they could get their hands on the game for themselves.

Skyrim’s storyline is set 200 years after the events that took place in Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.  The game starts with a cut scene, highlighting you as a prisoner.  At this point, you are neither a male nor female nor do you have a race, your fellow prisoners talk amongst themselves, about what their fate is, with you simply listening.  When you arrive at your destination, the character creation begins where you decide your race, gender, and various attributes and classes that will help you on your journey.  You have been sentenced to death, and when it all seems over before it’s even started, the first appearance of the stunning, magical dragon takes place.  Indirectly saving your life by just causing havoc, you escape and embark on an amazing unforgettable journey, that will keep you engaged and wanting more throughout.
