One of the most astounding games in a log time, so much fun to play!
At the beginning of the game, you create your hero character's appearance, choosing from a set of about ten different races and then customizing the look from there. Then the first mission of the game starts, apparently there are people out to kill the Emperor of Tamriel (the world where Elder Scrolls takes place) therefore, he is fleeing the city. You basically just follow him and protect him slightly. But after this first mission is done, you have a choice of what to do next; you can explore the world, continue on the main quest, or join different guilds, like the fighter, mage, and thieves guild. As well as a group of paid assassins, the Dark Brotherhood.
But no matter what path you choose, you should be able to find something that will take up a lot of your time. The different story lines of the game are all very different and fit well with whatever the story is for.
The graphics of this game are just so spot on, and the small details are what will really make your head spin. Because you can do things like breaking into someone’s home and grabbing his different drinking glasses and food, because basically all of the items that are sitting out can be picked up.
In conclusion, if you like role playing games, and even if you didn't like Elder Scrolls games you would definitely like this game, it has so much stuff that it will keep you occupied for a couple of weeks most likely.
