An engrossing journey that every role-playing fan should experience...
the graphics of the game has been improved a lot since Oblivion. the models are highly detailed and the environments, cities and forests are extremely beautiful and varied.the animation is also a bit better than Oblivion's.
Personally i believe the main story of Skyrim is a lot more powerful and addictive than Oblivion's. even after you do about 30 side quests then return, to your main the story still feels fresh and deep.
The symphonic soundtracks are by all means outstanding and epic just like Oblivion's.
My favorite part is exploring... just like oblivion you can go wherever you want whenever you want for instance, you can explore a dungeon before you begin a quest and when you take that quest the NPC tells you "hey looks like you've already found "the object"" so don't be afraid to explore!
In combat you are in control of both of your hands which means you can even dual wield spells! it's also a lot deeper and much more fun than Oblivion's but only for the consoles. unfortunately they haven't made the combat system properly for the PC.
but other than that and a few bugs there is not really anything that distract you from this long and engrossing journey.
Elder Scrolls 5 Skyrim is cleraly one the best RPGs in years and personally this year's best RPG.
So if you are a RPG fan don't waste your time go there and explore.
