After saving or destroying a city or town, the only changes are: different guard appearance and dialogue, and cheaper vendor prices

Yes, the women warriors wear silly breast-enhancing armor, but that's the worst of it

-
Being able to craft and improve your own armor is another one of my favorite improvements
-
However, if you're like me and want to spend as little time in the menus as possible, you're probably going to feel awfully limited as to how you play the game, which runs contrary to the flagship buzzword of the Elder Scrolls series: player choice

Reviews around rpg (4.42 of 5)
-
This is one of the best RPG games I've played in a whIle
-
And leveling in Skyrim is just as monotonous as the dreaded "RPG leveling grind", because (if I want to level up my blocking), I still find myself standing around for long periods of time just letting enemies hit my shield to level up that skill
-
Awesome RPG, graphics and long load times are a pain, like when you walk out of a store there is like a 5 second delay
-
If you have ever played any RPG and enjoyed it, I strongly advise checking this game out
-
The best RPG if not the best game of any kind ever made

Reviews around world (4.36 of 5)
-
This game is the most amazing open world game ever made if not the best game ever made, Graphics are beautiful and fighting dragons is epic!!!!!
-
The open world is beautiful, and the dragons are amazing to watch
-
One thing you can't avoid with an open world game like Skyrim
-
The political intrigue adds greatly to the drama, but it also serves to highlight just how dangerous the world of Skyrim really is
-
Apparently the developers took nothing from these older titles, instead giving gamers a scenery simulator non-game with a static world to waste time in.

Reviews around graphic (4.19 of 5)
-
It's an amazing game, the graphics are great, but it does have a short main storyline
-
This game has some amazing graphics, but nothing ground-breaking, and it feels like you should get more performance for the image quality.
-
The graphics are great and there is virtually no lag throughout the game
-
The title update did nothing for me with the Blurry graphics.

Reviews around skyrim (3.82 of 5)
-
Like 'Ocarina of Time' before it, Skyrim sets a new standard in video games and blurs the line of "Virtual-reality".
-
Let me get this out of the way: Skyrim is a beautiful monster
-
If you have not played Skyrim yet and you love RPG / Action games, then you are missing out on the best game of year by far.
-
I have only had Skyrim for about 2 days now, and I love it
-
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is by far the best in the series and the best game this year.

Reviews around story (3.75 of 5)
-
The leveling up process is fun and involving, and the story isn't horrible either
-
Cons--I would have enjoyed a more emotionally enticing story
-
Graphics are top notch, game play is top notch, sounds are super immersive, and the story line and flexibility of character development is amazing
-
And graphically.... just an amazing game with an amazing story
-
The story is vaguely interesting but wont wow you and after 50 side quests you'll be tired of the many go fetch this or kill this thing for a person you just met quests.

Reviews around oblivion (3.66 of 5)
-
I strongly recommend that you buy this game, even if you hated Oblivion
-
Overall: If you played Oblivion and liked it, you will love this
-
I love elder scroll Morrowind and Oblivion where superb but Skyrim is the cream of the cream!!!!
-
I thought Oblivion aggressively raised the difficulty as you got to the higher levels, and I thought it was great

Reviews around character (3.54 of 5)
-
This makes for a long game and allows you to make many decisions that result in your super character being a reflection of how you like play
-
There are glaring, low resolution textures (most of which have been fixed for the 360, thankfully), awkward character animations and lip syncing, and other visual oddities which keep Skyrim from attaining the same kind of visual fidelity that one will find in a game like Crysis 1/2
-
However, if you're like me and want to spend as little time in the menus as possible, you're probably going to feel awfully limited as to how you play the game, which runs contrary to the flagship buzzword of the Elder Scrolls series: player choice

Would recommend this game to avid video game players as it keeps you focused and highly motivated to succeed!

Due to the simplification of its leveling system, which inevitably heralded the cries of many diehard RPG players like myself, questions abound as to whether Skyrim is a 'true' RPG

Reviews around interest (2.40 of 5)
-
Even if you have but a fleeting interest in RPGS, you owe it to yourself to play this incredibly deep, literate, and moving game
-
A few things are simplified from Oblivion, making character management less of a hassle and enchanting/alchemy more interesting
-
The story is good and interesting the world is pretty and imaginative, the travel is interesting and different everytime
-
But even then, I'll probably have the same experience that I did with Oblivion: I was obsessed with that game when I could play it at a friend's, but as soon as I bought it for myself, I suddenly lost interest
-
However, there are hundreds of side quests and thousands of NPCs who lead interesting lives to interact with

Reviews around dragon (2.32 of 5)
-
Killed my first dragon today and two ogres (ogres from distance with arrow one hit from them or two would kill me) was a rush.
-
I've killed several dragons and have all kinds of dragon scale, but don't have a clue what to do with it.
-
Some dragons are easy such as blood dragons, and regular dragons
-
The dragons are cool in the beginning as they are forces of pure death but later in the game at about level 25 to
-
So far I've been able to kill all the dragons presented to me by playing this way.

Reviews around load (2.20 of 5)
-
The game itself is a lot of fun but load times are long which discourages going into buildings
-
This game doesn't have any game-breaking bugs, but there are a few things that should have been fixed before the release date; mainly texture and loading issues.
-
; Skyrim is more of a DIY exploration-oriented game, and while in that respect it performs respectably, even admirably, there are a host of design issues that simply shouldn't be there, and the rampant loading times artificially extend total playtime
-
I'm giving it four stars because of the ridiculous loading times, bugs, and glitches
-
It's one thing for a loading screen to freeze, but occassionally losing saved games is unforgivable

Reviews around game freeze (2.18 of 5)
-
are a few suggestions I want to give to those who don't know or feel frustrated.#1 if the game freezes which it does quite a bit if you have an xbox360 I have found out that if you hold the center button until you hear the "bing" noise press b then hold it again
-
I would recommend buying one when you can afford the 1000g, having it glitch or chasing after a horse was always annoying
-
Whatever you experience, those skills will increase as you get naturally stronger, with the ability to add a "perk" to a skill tree once you have so many skill points
-
And when I finally lost my loyal sidekick Lydia in some dungeon after days of doing quests together, I felt a genuine sense of emotional loss (even if she wasn't one of the more memorable NPC's), a very rare feeling in computer games.- Politics are realistic, complex, convoluted, frustrating, as they should be

Reviews around enemy (1.88 of 5)
-
Skills players don't use often will fall by the way side as more powerful enemies demand more finesse in the skills they have been using
-
Then later you get a quest where you are asked to kill the enemies in said cave or a specific one
-
So you just got your alchemy to 100, but now since you haven't been working your offensive skills while grinding alchemy, your enemies are much stronger than you.
-
Also, if you cheat and level too early so do your enemies, what fun is that?
-
Although the game does try to keep up with your level by providing harder enemies as you, yourself, become harder to kill, it stops at a certain point.

Reviews around souls (1.29 of 5)
-
great condition came on time very happy with it thank u so much
-
i was hooked..... then the more recent RPG I got was Dark Souls ... again ... hooked!
-
Now I have played such games as Morrowind, Mass Effect, Oblivion, Dragon Age, Dark Souls and well pretty much any
-
I don't like being told everything by the game (I think Dark Souls is one of the best games I've ever played
-
It's not a hard core dungeon crawl like Dark Souls, but lighter fare.

Reviews around force (1.25 of 5)
-
But beyond that, the vision of the artists shows through with unrelenting force
-
The result of that particular Dragon Shout is to fling the character(s) in front of you flying like rag dolls, but the Unrelenting Force Shout is only one of a great many similar powers, and even then, the Shouts are only one tiny feature of a game that is so robust it hardly seems capable of a fair review
-
The only useful shouts are the basic Unrelenting Force, Ice Form, Elemental Fury (debatable), and Mark of Death (there are over 20 different Shouts).
-
b/c his friend had it & a must for his game collection as well.
-
Its a simple yet effective mechanic, and I swear, I never grow tired of seeing enemies plunge to their deaths from tall cliffs as I unleash Unrelenting Force before them, so the shouts themselves are useful in a way that complements the already satisfying magic system

Reviews around brotherhood (1.09 of 5)
-
, was the Dark Brotherhood, and the College of Winterhold (Mages College)
-
These include Mages College, Thieves Guild, Dark Brotherhood, Bards guild, and other organizations in the game
-
I'm playing a thief, and have started the Dark Brotherhood and Thieves Guild quests
-
If you played through Oblivion like me you would get references and plots from the companions, college, thieves guild, and dark brotherhood
-
I think the main quest is a little short, but you'll most likely spend time exploring and completing the side-quest like the Thieves Guild or the Dark Brotherhood
