Level 20 Review
Very huge, very engulfing, very epic world.....with a lot of gaps. So before you get to do any fast travel, its a 15 minute jog from here to there, with.....wolf......wolf......TROLL! ACK!!! wrong direction...For a good reason...
Skyrim has a weird experience system...no points for killing junk or completing quests: the game encourages self reliance. You practice your skills....or any and all skills available to level up. Do anything in shops other than selling, you'll wind up broke. Make your own weapons, make your own potions, heal yourself with magic, get plenty of target practice, pick random locks after night fall, block with your shield, hell, even stand there and take a few shots....or just ask for training sessions, all of the skill points add up to your leveling up which will happen in no time the sooner you get your hands dirty.
So yeah, don't expect the usual hoards to come after you....no grinding your way to victory in this one....very innovative might I add, and WOW what a theme song!!!
My gripes...well it's already been said a million times: the lag. I just love running along the field and suddenly a giant seems to materialize out of thin air...not cool....Also, I'd like to add the load times are absolutely horrible.
Also....ehh...it might be my imagination, but it seems the whole world is off balance; meaning, I'm wondering why I can kill a dragon by myself, but still getting my ass handed to me by a city guard or giant spider.
Still...seemingly never ending fun filled quests that'll keep you busy for god knows how long....in a world that's just....wow.
