Skyrim

I have heard the legends of Skyrim, a land of harsh beauty, civil war, and ancient dangers. In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, I am thrust into this frozen northern province of Tamriel at a time of great turmoil. Dragons, long lost to the passages of time, have returned to the land, and I soon discover that I am the last Dragonborn, a hero with the soul of a dragon and the power to absorb their strength. My destiny is to stop the world-eater, Alduin, but in Skyrim, destiny is just a suggestion. The true magic of this game is the freedom it gives me to ignore my destiny and forge my own legend.

Skyrim is a masterpiece of open-world design. From the moment I escape my own execution, the entire world is open to me. I can choose to follow the main quest, or I can wander off in any direction and inevitably stumble upon an adventure. I might discover a hidden cave that leads to a vast underground Dwemer ruin, join the Companions guild to become a werewolf, or enroll in the College of Winterhold to master the arcane arts. Every mountain I climb and every forest I explore holds a new story, a new dungeon, or a new secret to uncover.

Live Another Life in Another World:

• Limitless Freedom and Choice: I can be whoever I want to be. I can play as a stealthy Khajiit archer, a heavily-armored Nord warrior, or a powerful High Elf mage. The skill system is fluid; I improve my skills simply by using them. The more I use a one-handed sword, the better I get with it. This organic progression makes my character feel truly my own.
• A World of Epic Adventure: The land of Skyrim is packed with content. There are hundreds of quests, from epic faction storylines like the civil war between the Stormcloaks and the Imperial Legion, to small, personal stories I discover in remote villages. The world is filled with lore, books to read, and characters to meet, creating an incredibly immersive experience.
• Master the Thu’um: As the Dragonborn, I can learn and use the Dragon Shouts, or the Thu’um. These are powerful words of power that I learn from ancient walls and unlock by defeating dragons. I can use shouts to push my enemies off cliffs, slow down time, or even call a dragon to fight by my side. Wielding this power makes me feel truly legendary.

Even years after its release, I find that Skyrim remains an unparalleled adventure. It is a world that I can get completely lost in, a canvas for my own stories of heroism, villainy, and exploration. If you have ever dreamed of living another life in a world of magic and dragons, then I urge you to journey to Skyrim. Your legend awaits.
