Skyrim is the incredible fifth game in the renowned Elder Scrolls legacy, the innovatively built fantasy role playing saga brought to you by Bethesda. The series revolves around the protagonist's mission to combat the prophecy that Alduin, the Nordic Dragon God of Destruction and the first born of Tamriel's primary deity Akatosh, will bring about the end of the world. The game is set 200 years after the events of the prequel Oblivion, in the land of Skyrim, which is in the throes of a civil war amongst the native Nord race. This war is due to the assassination of the High King, which has placed the entire Empire of Tamriel in turmoil.
You begin your journey as a prisoner sentenced to death due to a case of mistaken identity. Seconds before your beheading, a dragon, their species long believed to have been lost, arrives and burns the town to the ground. You discover that you are the last Dovahkiin, the last of the Dragonborn; a Dragon hunter. One of the few mortals chosen by the Gods to be blessed with the power to defeat the dragons, and ultimately defeat Alduin.
Limited Edition Burlap Cloth Map Included (While Stocks Last)
This new chapter in the Elder Scrolls saga brings you an even more expansive map, completely revitalised with absolutely breathtaking visuals and graphics. Skyrim is a completely open world, one for you to explore and enjoy with every step you take. As the game begins, you will be allowed to choose one of ten races to be, such as High Elf, Orc, Human, and more. Each race has their own special attributes and particular strengths, whether it be magic or melee based or something else entirely. You can decide what you would like to specialise in as you play throughout the game, gaining first hand experience as to what would most benefit you, completely tailoring your character to your exact specifications.
Within the game, you will never be short of things to do. Alongside the tenfolds of missions and quests to complete and dragons to slay, there are also many skills to learn. There are the secrets of alchemy to discover which aid in potion making, mining to do which can give you metals to smelt to make armour and weapons, as well as books to read which can give you hidden quests, and so much more. In Skyrim, every detail matters and accounts for something within the game, with so much to explore and investigate, and so many curiosities to sate.
Another way to fully integrate yourself within the world of Skryim is to join one of the many factions and guilds available to you, whether The College Of Winterhold, The Companions, or The Dark Brotherhood; each has their own history, special cause and armoury, as well as missions to assign you. In order to join any of these many guilds, you must first prove your worth to high members, who will ask you to demonstrate your abilities; for example, when attempting to enter The College Of Winterhold, you must first perform a spell for them.
Of course, the dragons play an immense part in this game, many of them found specifically placed to guard certain mystical items, such as relics. Learn their attack patterns quickly, as often they will randomly attack cities (and you) wherever you are, no matter what you're doing. With each dragon you kill, you will earn and absorb their soul, which powers Skyrim's new Shout system. This system provides magical abilities suited for any character to use. These range from the ability to slow time, change the weather, and shoot out ice or fire blasts, amongst others, even if your character has completely forgone magic and favours melee. These Shouts are yours to use once you find and learn them, giving you even more reason to trek around and explore the vastness that is Skyrim.
Only you, and you alone, can harness the power of the Dragonborn and the dragons, and defeat Alduin once and for all. (Cat Emerson)

Skyrim pc
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is a fantastic game. I bought it because I wanted the add-ons but I am too busy, the game is huge! It features brilliant game play, I'm loving all the extra mini missions. It helps when the story gets a bit too difficult or you've gone too far for your level. The game arrived well before the final delivery date so I'm really impressed with the service. I just need to order one for my husband now, as I don't like to share! And maybe buying a new PC as my laptop struggles a bit. I'm totally hooked and only ever really played one other game. This tops all I've come across for a while. It's epic!

Game is A+
Thanks for offering The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim for a cost competitive price! Delivery was okay and intact. Overall I'm happy! It gets a slight minus for waiting time for delivery. But it was all forgotten when I entered into world of Tamriel.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
I've put over 100 hours into this brilliant game, if you're into role-playing games and you still haven't played this then you're missing out. If you can get it on PC, the modding gives you even more game for your money.
