    I love all of the Elder Scrolls games. The worlds and possibilities are huge and almost endless. If you are experienced with these kinds of games it is fairly easy to overpower your character in some of the earlier versions but they have limited that somewhat in Skyrim. This game has a very involving storyline and the actions you choose actually affect how the story proceeds. You really can play however you want to play. Great way to scratch the itch while waiting for Elder Scrolls Online also!

    This is absolutely an excellent game where you have to think and plan your every move. The graphics is really amazingly realistic which make you want more. The story line is engaging and make you want more to explore. As a beginner, I didn't know this kind of game exist and the best thing of all is the DLC - "Down Loadable Content", I am glad that I waited for this Legendary Edition. This game also requires self-discipline where time seems to pass so quickly and I have to balance my personal life and the fantasy world life with this game. This is a "Got to get it GAME'! I think this quality game was worth the MONEY and TIME well spent.

    The general game is great, but I am really frustrated by how clunky it is to change skills. You can have one weapon/shield/spell per hand then you have a short cut to bring up a list of things that you mark as a favorite, so everytime you want to cast a different spell you have to pause battle open your favorites and then change that to one of your hands. Everything else about the game is great.

    You get a lot of bang for your buck with this game. With all the DLC included and over 200 hours of game play, you can't go wrong with this purchase. There are also hundreds of mods available for download that allow you to customize the game.

    I bought this game for my teenage son. He plays it on his Aseus laptop. Between the game and his laptop he loves the whole experience. He said it plays better than some Xbox games.

    I had this game for my Xbox 360 and it was very glitchy. I purchased the Windows version and cant be happier with it. It runs absolutely smooth without any glitches. I love open world games and this does not disappoint. There is so much to do in Skyrim aside from the story line quests. Each is unique and challenging. I recommend this version over all other game console versions.

    Skyrim has to be the best computer game out there. I don't recommend playing on a laptop though because the laptop might overheat.

    I already played this game on PS3 but had to have it for PC! I wasnt sure if I should get the Legendary game at first because I didnt want to install all the dlc. After installing it I found that you can turn off the dlc until ready to turn it on so it was just what I wanted!

    When I first started playing this game it was on xbox 360 when it first came out. I got very addicted for the first 20 levels and then gave up on it and stopped playing it, until I saw this bundle available for PC. Since there are so many elements to this game worth mentioning I will put them in categories. Graphics For most people graphics are very important, so believe me when I tell you graphics for this game are amazing. If you have an older computer and can't put this game on max settings (I know it sounds like a jerk bragging, but its the truth# then your really missing out on the beauty of this game and everything it has to offer. Nobody can really say bad things about a games graphics unless they've seen them to the full extent of their capabilities. I've seen many games that have pretty good graphics, but this game beats everything and not just the beauty of the landscape and lighting, but with the way the npcs lay dead for hours and hours and don't go away, with even the loot still on them. Or how the dead bodies fly and toss around #For example: when you levitate them as a vampire, which is awesome by the way# and their bodies flow with the landscape when they land and don't just hit the ground, its very realisitic. Everything seems to look like a real atmosphere more than any other game I've ever played. The best part is the plethora of addons you can get for FREE that allow you to enhance the graphics/lighting/water etc to look even more realistic. The character models are great out of the box, but with some VERY realistic addon upgrades you can have some amazing looking characters #I only care about the girls, but I'm a guy, so take my word for amazing# . So overall on graphics, they easily make it the best looking RPG out there in my opinion. Addons You can spend hours and hours just finding cool gear and addons for this game to enhance not only the graphics but to enhance your characters skills/appearance/armor and give more quests and activities to do. It adds more lasting time to this game and if you happen to make your character TOO strong with addons then just up the difficulty level which gets pretty nuts. There is so much talent in the addon community for this game, I hope you'l check it out. The Nexus is probably the best place to find them. Quests and Story The quests in this game do a great job of envolving you with whats going on rather than telling you to just go kill something and come back. You feel the emotions of the interaction with it being all vocal and even see the facial expressions. The story line is only a guidline and it's not reccomended to just do the story questline and think your done. #you wont be able to without cheating# If your going to play this game you have to explore, do all the quests, find cool stuff and improve your character with every opportunity. This game takes time, but you'l enjoy it and remember every experience you unfold. The world is HUGE and has multiple opportunities for you to either follow quests or just go kill some necromancers in a nearby castle/cave. #Sniping targets in castles with a bow is super fun by the way# The game lets you do whatever you want, whenever wherever and encourages you to do so in order for you to turn over every opportunity for quests and items. Since I've already written a book, I'm going to share a few of my favorite things from this game and call it quits. Housing: You find supplies and can build furniture to fill it up for your 2 possible kids and wife #yes you can get married#. You can display your weapons and armor on manikins and in display cases and so much more. Vampires/Werewolves: Werewolves are pretty awesome that you can turn into one and be an overpowered ferocious animal that mauls everything and feeds to stay a werewolf, its pretty awesome. Even though they're awesome the vampire lord was my favorite because you can use spells and get some awesome addons that make you fly around, levitate just about anything #maybe mammoths too? I forget) and pull them to you draining their health. When you pull them to you your bats that surround you eat them up as well which is a cool feature. Try both, be a werewolf first then when you meet the count become a vampire, thats what I did. These are just a couple things off the top of my head that I really enjoyed aside from just the whole game. This games fantastic and I'm trying really hard not to be mad they aren't making another one right away, but we'l see what the future has in store. I hope this super long description helped someone decide on this game, Enjoy! I sure did.

    This is a great game. I can't tell you how many hours of real life time that I have lost playing the game and I have no regrets. It's a great game with decent replay ability. Well worth the purchase.

    While waiting in line on Black Friday to buy an XBox 360, this game was recommended to me. I was looking for a game for my nephew who loves the Monster Hunter games and wanted more like that. I got this one for him as a present and he LOVES it which made me very happy and the favorite aunt! He hasn't said a negative word about it and has purchased the game guide to go with it. Very pleased.

    This game is created by a company that has a series of games that are similar. If you enjoy their past games, you will enjoy this one. It can become repetitive and dull at times but you have a great deal of room to explore. It has improved some of the way the game works such as the character progression.
