As a result, each quest to receive overpowered equipment feels special. The plethora of side quests never feels old, with quests centring around mythical beings known as Daedric Princes, which all have varying and unique personalities. For instance, you can end a whole civil war if you want to, or become the greatest assassin in the history of Skyrim, where the staggering quest quality always leaves you to feel satisfied at the end.


The plethora of side quests never feels oldĪlthough the main quest is probably the weakest of all the big quests in Skyrim, this is not a critique of Skyrim but a massive compliment to the other quests. The main objective is to kill Alduin, the evil Dragon Lord, wishing to enslave all of Tamriel (the continent where Skyrim is based). The game is centred around your character, The Dragonborn, that possesses the power to speak the language of dragons easier than any other mortal. The developers even created a whole language for Skyrim (that being Dragon). With incredibly deep lore and backstory (which is based on the same continent as previous installations in the Elder Scrolls series), Skyrim’s success is understandable. Skyrim was created following the extremely popular Elder Scrolls Oblivion, another titan of the gaming industry. Skyrim was originally released on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 on the 11th November 2011. James delves into the video game and how it remains a gaming staple ten years later. Yet despite being released in 2011, Skyrim continues to be a widely talked about and popular RPG, with fans constantly inquiring about the release of The Elder Scrolls VI. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is an open-world action RPG developed by Bethesda Studios.
