Okay so I have never played Skyrim until now and WOW I fell in love with it an regret not buying it sooner. It is the best game iv bought in a long time its eaten my entire week the amount of replay ability I noticed right out of the gate an finding my first few optional quests got me already thinking ahead for later playthrough set-ups this game has melted my mind, I feel like iv rediscovered my love for open world RPG games with Skyrim.

Well if you dont know Skyrim, you are doing game wrong. It is the 5th entry of the Elder Scrolls saga and, even though the purist may say its the worst, it became one of the most successful games ever. And it surely deserves it.
Once tou end the tutorial, you are frees on the realms of skyrim, an inmense region to explore and to do, absolutely, whatever you want. With every single expansion, the game became bigger and added more and more activities to do. I lobe Skyrim and I always will

I already had this game on my PS3 and Xbox game pass. I bought it again for Steam so that I could fully use the modding system available, and I was not disappointed. The range of what you can do is insane, and it's one of the best games to mod, barring maybe Minecraft.
