Elder Scrolls V Game Review

By Steven Clayden


The latest skyrim saga from the stables of Bethseda is elder scrolls v. The latest saga follows on from the success of elder scrolls 4 that took RPG to the next level and soon became the most popular role playing games thanks to its non-linear game play and graphics engine.

Set 200 years after elder scrolls 4 a civil war has broken out and a new magical threat forms the basis of the game. Players be able to fully customize their characters from skin type to eye color. This adds a great dimension to the game.

Side quests

Bethesda received great feedback from players worldwide about the interesting quests it has designed in the previous titles and this has also been implemented in the latest installment. Such quests will help with understanding the world of Skyrim better, but will also increase the popularity of the player and will let him or her in on new weapons, magical potions or secret areas in the game.

Characters

In total there are 9 races in Skyrim and this means that hardcore players who will want to experience this magical land in every possible way, will have the chance of doing so easily, if they actually have the time to play them all. These races, as many already know number the Redguard, Orc, Nord, Khajit, Imperial, Dunmer, Breton, Bosmer, Argonian and Altmer. It goes without saying that each race has its own abilities and disadvantages, traits that players will need to learn how to use in their own advantage, be it when exploring the world of Skyrim or when being involved in combat.

Engine

The engine Skyrim was built on is called The Creation Engine and it's based on the old engine Fallout 3 and Oblivion used. This new engine has many improvements though and they have allowed the team at Bethesda to improve the object level detail, the draw distance, the general graphical fidelity and also implement new dynamic lighting and shadowing which will affect every object in the game.

Following on from some criticism form elder scrolls 4, the new game engine allows the animations to be more realistic and the game environment has more clarity and depth. Subtle shadow and lighting effects make objects and the environment as realistic as possible.

Skyrim non-linear structure allows you to do pretty much whatever you want, you can quest, explore and fight. It is an awesome game with hundreds of hours of game play and is by far the best RPG currently available.
