Sigh Well, certainly everything I type next is old news, considering Skyrim's age and its undeniable fame. In my case, it's the very first Elder Scrolls game I've played, and dang, what an experience! There are so many details, so many stories, so many facets, that a simple review like this wouldn't even begin to cover the complexity and beauty of this work of art. I, who am by no means a hardcore gamer, spent over 450 hours as the Dragonborn, scouring the cold and dangerous lands of Tamriel. Beyond the main stories, I believe all, absolutely all the DLCs are worth it. And there are quite a few. Anyway, what a grandiose game. I haven't felt so satisfied and empty at the same time since I finished Cyberpunk. You know, that hollow feeling in your chest that tastes like "now what do I do with my life?" A void after living countless stories, with complex characters, wonderful landscapes, and an incredible soundtrack. Skyrim allows you to forget reality for a few hours as soon as you open the game and get into the mood carried by the Dragonborn music. I've done all the quests I had, along with the DLCs, and even so, I know there are many more hours of gameplay. I'm only stopping, hoping to return someday, because I need to continue playing other adventures. I recommend it more than anything. The entire community recommends it! Be the Dragonborn!
