My first RPG. This introduced me to my favorite genre of video games. The story is one of the best I have ever played. The dragonborn shouts are unique and add so much to this experience. The skill tree make the game different every time! The skill based leveling adds specialization. The amazing armor and weapon variants you can find and forge are so beautiful! Enchantments and enchanting are both surprising and interesting. Potions can make you deadly or invincible of you know the recipe and can forage the ingredients. The inventory management is even fun! The characters bring the world alive! The shops are filled with people who shop or own the shop who open their stores at their own hours. Owning houses let's you become a part of that town. You can take a partner and adopt kids or even build a house if you have the DLC. The dragon quest line is so full of fantasy goodness. The civil war story is full of military and history fun. Watch out not to become a vampire or warewolf, and don't mess with the giants unless you would like a beautiful arial view of Skyrim. The many races and types in the games build an amazing world. The magic system brings out your imagination in a fantastic fantasy world. Collect dragon bones and forge dragon armor if you become the best forger. Or you could become the best lockpick or sneak or you could become the best axe weilder or the best at speachcraft and get the best prices or intimidate your foes or entice your lovers. There is so much to this beautiful game and it's many cities and dungeons that I can't mention it all! Amazing experience every playthrough!
