Why I Love Skyrim

Greetings fellow adventurers. It's no secret that Skyrim is beginning to lose it's fame and love. That saddens me of course, as it is one of my favourite games of all time. Perhaps it's its amazing way of capturing what life was like in medieval times. Or the way it shows magic in a new light. Yes we have all heard dragons before. Tales of magnificent beasts that can breathe fire and spread fear in all directions. And I love that the elder scrolls 5 picks up on that, but introduces something no one had heard of before. The dragonborn. Are you telling me you WOULDNT like to be the one that saves the world? The one that speaks ancient words that have the power to harm others? It's hard NOT to love, and it makes me sad that people are beginning to get over that magic and move onto new games. Don't get me wrong, I love new releases too. But sometimes I wish people would start again and play the game that had so many of us captivated for years.

Our Hero, Our Hero claims a warriors heart; I tell you, I tell you the dragonborn comes

When I was younger, I wasn't allowed to play Skyrim. I remember seeing tiny snipets of whiterun on my brothers monitor, and the few rare times he would let me wander around the city. For me, it was the best game ever at the time. I wanted nothing more than to sit and walk around the amazing world. So when I finally had the oppotunity to play it for myself, I just wanted to go to the market, stay in the inn, not cause any trouble. I was scared of quests, and Draugr and any danger, and I was happy to stay in whiterun for hours on end. As I grew older, and had my own computer to play the game on, I finally discovered the rest of the country, and I didn't ever stop exploring it.

Of course, it has its flaws. It has its bugs, its glitches and it has.... Lydia. But the amazing open world, beautiful wide spaces and freedom that only Bethesda games manage to capture makes up for anything other players may find to boring for words.

I know some may get bored of the content, the DLC. But remember that there is always mods and in my opinion, this game will never die.
