If you play rpgs but had never experienced play Skyrim, keep it that way.
Because once you play Skyrim, elder scrolls in general (yeah fallout too) every other rpgs will never be the same.
The world, the world is alive, you’ll never experience this kinda of thing anywhere else.
Npcs? Every single one of the is alive, if they died, they are a goner. They, every one of them able to have interaction with you, and with other npc, they can talk to each other having a conversation IN REAL GAME TIME. They do chores, some of them even go to tavern during the night, and work selling items during the day, and they all eat and sleep, and of they live in a castle, around lunch they will eat together.
They are not some mere animation, they interact with things around the world, and A.I is the best word to describe.
You will also feel rewarding everytime you did deeds, npcs around the town will talk about you, they commented on your outfit, armor, some heroic stuff you did, it’s crazy good experience.
Quest? Absolutely amazing. You heard about Assassins cult, you can joined them, You heard about bard college, you can be one of their student. You heard about magic college, you can ranked up until you become the archmage. You heard about vampire, you can be one. You were introduced with secret werewolf society, YOU CAN BE ONE OF THEM. You heard about civil war, you can pick sides and AND ENTER THE WAR (YEAH JUST LIKE HOW YOU IMAGINE) and many more. Every of those I mentioned has their own questline, and they’re not event the main one :).
This game works in real time, THERE IS NO CUTSCENE, the npc is their actor. You went to places, there will always be something new to discover, things like local issues, you can help the locals and they will thanked you. Every journey has their own surprises!
This game is one of my best experiences, if I can choose one wish, I wish any experience regarding this game will be erased, so I can enjoy again they way I did the first time.
All I can say thank you Bethesda and the team for Skyrim! I really appreciate this game! And I really hope y’all who involved with the team have a good life! Good everything!
