The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim is a game I struggle to explain. There's so much content and story.

You create a character, from a range of different species, all suited to different types of offensive and defensive methods. Your character is "Dragonborn", a person who has the capabilities to learn the power of dragons by absorbing their souls. There's so much more to this game than just that. There's hundreds of hours of gameplay, the large majority of those hours is from quests not related to the main story at all.

Hours upon hours upon hours of fun. You can spend a few hours just wandering around, from one edge of the map to the other. In that time, you can pick up dozens of quests, get killed by giants, dragons or bandits. This game is just great for fun.

The level of personalisation. You can play as a variety of things. Whether you want to play as a mage, or a tank. There's the ability to be either, or both at the same time. There's so many weapons, spells, armour, potions, to make the game truly yours.

There's also mod support for the game. And you can get some amazing mods. Mods that upgrade graphics, mods that add extra gameplay and mods that improve some of the stranger aspects of the game.

With some mods, and the upgraded Special Edition of the game, this game is beautiful. Crank it up to Ultra graphics, and it's amazing.

Nothing. I loved everything.

Never finished this game. There's just so much content. I doubt I've even completed half the quests there is, and I've played 55 hours of the older version of the game, and 18 hours of the Special Edition. So, 73 hours of gameplay, not even half complete.

Bethesda. I love this game, but never been much of a fan of any of their other titles, such as Fallout. I hope they're in the process of making another one.

You'll spend more time on this game when you first get it than with your family, and they tend to get funny about things like that.
