    Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - PC

    • Graphics are good, but the gameplay, voice acting, soundtrack, story, and dragons make this game great!
    • Now about the game it's awesome the gameplay, plot, graphics, music, NPCs, etc
    • I have no complaints at all; great plot, and amazing gameplay
    • The gameplay is actually painful
    • The gameplay alone is enough to draw your attention
    • It's basically the same thing with a whole lot of improvements - New story, hand crafted environment, better leveling system, and incredible graphics and gameplay.
    • Loved it, hundreds of hours of gameplay available and incredible detail
    • Without the mods, the gameplay is still quite good
    • Gameplay is pretty repetitive
    • Overall the gameplay is very fresh, due mainly to the customization of the two hand equip system
    • Skyrim will provide you with countless hours of very enjoyable gameplay.
    • Gameplay is great as well; very smooth and battle isn't hard to get used to
    • Gameplay wise, Its streamlined so its easy to play and understand, and control/UI wise is abysmal, they didnt care at all how it looked or worked on PCs
    • The gameplay is great, the graphics are very good, and the content and world are completely immersive.
    • Depends on how used you are to playing games with amazing gameplay, I'd say it rates about average
    • The gameplay is a solid improvement on Oblivion's, and the game provides plenty of content to justify purchasing it
    • The gameplay is great and the graphics are wonderful
    • Aside from the occasional uncomplete-able quest, and some physics issues (apparently horses can defy gravity and climb vertical surfaces if you strafe), the gameplay is as solid as it gets
    • Matches the quality in all the Elder Scroll games... fantastic gameplay and good story line... replay value is considerable
    • Great gameplay
    • The gameplay is awesome
    • I do feel the mix of music and sounds in-game really create a solid feeling of immersion (even if I play mostly third person all the way through).Overall gameplay is fun and satisfying
    • The gameplay is outstanding and I have played hours upon hours of it and found no bugs
    • Aside from the occasional uncomplete-able quest, and some physics issues (apparently horses can defy gravity and climb vertical surfaces if you strafe), the gameplay is as solid as it gets
    • Play it for kicks although I honestly feel Oblivion had a better gameplay than this one has to offer
    • The universe is super compelling and the gameplay is good.
    • Gameplay is intuitive and fun
    • Gameplay is simply addicting and that is what makes the stability such a sad thing because it just frustrates you that you cant stay in the oasis for more time before the game crashes for no reason or the next patch ruins something else
    • Addicting Gameplay - The whole concept of playing however you want is very refreshing
    • The gameplay is enjoyable, although the AI has a very clear lack of intelligence when it comes to many fighting scenerios which you will encounter if you play the game
    • The cleaned up gameplay and brilliant special effects and graphics really put this franchise at a new level.
    • A huge factor that ruined the gameplay for me was all the bugs / glitches I would run into through the game
    • The gameplay and storeline are pretty solid, and graphics are decent
    • And, as the graphical and computing capabilities have improved, Bethesda has not only made the game world look better, but have improved the gameplay as well
    • The two things this game does not do well are stability for un-interrupted gameplay and telling you how the controls work
    • The gameplay for this game is excellent
    • Gameplay mechanics, story and combat should improve over time
    • The gameplay is even smoother and less laggy than it's predecessors.
    • Great graphics, great gameplay, HUGE world, etc
    • Frankly, they very much enhance gameplay, and enjoyment of the game
    • Engrossing, great fun, and seems almost limitless in it's gameplay.
    • There are hundreds if not thousands of hours of available gameplay, and it can be played in several different directions
    • The gameplay is satisfying all around.
    • The graphics are beautiful, the sound is wonderful, and the gameplay is amazing, largely because there is so much to do
    • And there are so many of them!Any RPG fan who enjoys open world gameplay, dungeon crawling, or just simply the best iteration of an open-world single player RPG to date, owes it to themselves to play Skyrim.
    • With hundreds of hours of top quality gameplay that is always super enjoyable.
    • Fantastic scenery and gameplay.
    • The gameplay is intoxicating.
    • That being said, it's still a great game with lots of fantastic additions (crafting) and great gameplay.
    • Really love the gameplay, and both the skill and leveling system are far improved over it's predecessor Oblivion
    • What we have here is basically a direct console port which comes with a clunky control method, graphics that even on cutting-edge technology set to "ultra high" mysteriously look nowhere near as good as the gameplay videos we've all seen, and gameplay that continues Bethesda's trend over the past few years of simplifying games for the console crowd
    • It is the bar that every expansive RPG should aspire to be story-wise and gameplay-wise, as well as being a gorgeous game
    • However, the gameplay is easy-ish enough not to be intimidating.
    • 2.8GHz8G RAM470 GTXAll I can say is WOW this game is beautiful
    • The game is as beautiful as it is deep and endless
    • Graphics are outstanding, controlls work as they should
    • he will also have at least a couple of spells, and a good collection of potions (I've used hundreds of Heal potions, they're the only way to survive some battles (you freeze action in the middle of a battle to embibe) as well as to replenish magicka).Save Game
    • Even running through them as fast as I could still took about an hour to complete
    • People say that faction quests are not as good as in Oblivion but it about evens out, imo
    • I have mined ore, smithed armor, and even chopped wood for a living, as well as destroying everyone in a city in this game
    • Look at Star Wars the force unleashed, that game made you feel like a bad a
    • This may disappoint some long-time RPG players who love directly tweaking their stats, but I found I enjoyed this differences in gameplay just the same as if I'd taken the time to raise this or that stat in another title.
    • I can't say enough good things about this game and if you don't already own it, scroll back up and get it on your computer as fast as you can
    • That is just my take on the game, it's really a believable world, and of course everything is always as good as you make it.
    • The quests are challenging, and require more than mere button-mashing (be prepared to do some thinking, as well as to make some important, game-changing decisions).Having put in a long night of playing my first character, I was very satisfied with Skyrim, and anticipated many, MANY hours of play
    • Con: Graphics aren't as wonderful as in previous games, which shocked me
    • One of the best things is you can play it as little or as much as you would like and have a great time.
    • Plus, it sucks a$$ to have to load the game back up, load the saved game, and redo everything you just did.
    • That particular dragon I couldn't kill as he never got close enough to me
    • I wish you could swing your weapons left and right as fast as you can click, and have them all coming in from different angles
    • There is a thick, leather-bound art book, a DVD on the making of the game that fascinated me (such as how they programmed a dragon's movements, how they came up with a written and spoken language for dragons, and much more), and of course the game
    • The most interesting person I can think of off the top of my head is M’aiq the Liar

    • There's a nice big world to explore, and to some degree I feel like the developers really tried to expand from the quest grinding of "retrieve X, or kill Y"
