A great game, still after 3 years.
This game goes far beyond the normal single player RPG in the fact that, the combat is great, the presentation is second to none to this day, and the world itself comes alive.
Every aspect of this game is outstanding and really puts together one of the greatest gaming experiences that this writer has ever come across.
The combat is something to be noted. Your character has a vast skill set that lends itself to a really varied combat experience. Magic, Stealth, and Brute Strength all have a place in combat in this game. Your character starts off as an unskilled prisoner but with the customization available in this game you can mold him into a great Arch-Mage, a skilled Knight, a Stealthy Assassin, or anything in between.
The Province of Cyrodil breathes life around every turn. Whether your in the sprawling metropolis of the Imperial City, or in the middle of the forest, you can be sure it will look believable and feel real.
This game is fantastic and offers an immersive and long lasting gameplay experience that can be extended by a list of 8 official plug-ins and one full expansion, not to mention the hundreds of player created mods for the PC version.
