The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - RPG of the Year

Amazing is what The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is; it is hell of a game that gives you satisfaction on multiple levels. GameSpot and IGN have named this RPG of the year, which is another guarantee that this game is incredibly good.

Indeed, the best about The Elder Scrolls is its open-world gameplay. There is absolutely no way that two players can have the exact same experience. In fact, right after you have created your character, you will start making decisions soon enough. So be careful about your choices, because every one of them matters. Different races selected may also alter the entire experience and people's responses to you.

Skyrim is no doubt rich in content. Its side quests and main story line can take weeks, if not months, to be totally completed, not to mention the randomly generated quests along the way. This is a world that makes you feel you are really living in it and you are truly interacting with it. It can be a pretty addictive odyssey.

Not only does Skyrim have much, the things are also organized and presented in a user-friendly way. With the million active quests, you still won't lose your way. Just highlight some active quest(s) and you will be guided. The user-interface is highly user-friendly, and I love the "favorite" which can be used to add pretty much anything to your favorite list for easy access. This has saved me loads of time from browsing through the countless objects in the enormous world of Skyrim.

And yes, marriage is allowed. I've tried it myself. It's nothing big really but it's fun. You can even ask your spouse to move in with you and their business can also earn you income. Of course, if you're the kind who wants to mess things up like killing everyone on sight in Fallout 3, you can blow up your spouse with a fireball or something, though I recommending doing it inside your own house to avoid attention.

If you're looking for a almost flawless RPG to indulge in, a world where you can do many, many things, then Skyrim is a very good choice. It's an understatement to say it's the game of the year, because it's more like one of the best RPG of the decade.

So join the Rebellion or the Imperial, fight some dragons, kill some bad-ass characters or be a prestigious mage in the land of Tamriel.
