The fifth installment in Bethesda's Elder Scrolls franchise is set in the eponymous province of Skyrim, where the ancient threat of dragons, led by the sinister Alduin, is rising again to threaten all mortal races. Only the player, as the prophesied hero the Dovahkiin, can save the world from destruction.
Skyrim is perfect and is the best game ever made
That Jarl is just chillin
@chavtheworld: I would argue that those screens are evidence for Skyrim's awesomeness.
You like attention,don't you? This isn't the type of site for your useless, flamebait troll posts.
It's awesome that you like Skyrim though, that must be nice for you.

I don't think they have dark souls, that's a bit harsh.

I don't disagree at all.

I still don't get why people compare the two. They both have swords I guess...
I only have 4 mods, I keep it simple and I don't like mods that add too much unoriginal content to the game.
I have a cool blood mod that improves the textures a lot. Are there any weird gore mods that let you chop dudes up or something?
Also, are headshots with bows instant kills on enemies without helms?
Finally, where do I get an amazing bow? I'm level 25 .

Good on you for limiting your mods. Almost every thread that talks about bugs in Skyrim ends up with the OP confessing about having mods installed.
I am not sure about gore mods.
Headshots with bows are not instant kills on enemies without helms. They do the same damage as a torso shot.
You get an amazing bow by levelling up your Blacksmithing, Alchemy, and Enchanting skills. The best armor and weapons are all created, not found.
To this day, I regret buying Skyrim. It's a pretty bad game, even modded, it was really boring. I gave it a chance, as I loved Oblivion, but Oblivion is SOOO much better than Skyrim.
Is there a reason why you think the game is bad? Plus, what is it about Oblivion that makes it, "SOOO much better than Skyrim?"

There's lots of reasons I think the game is bad. Many reasons. Also, have you ever played Oblivion? If so, it should be clear as day why Oblivion is SOOO much better than Skyrim.
Skyrim is perhaps my favorite game of this generation. I love its aesthetics, the atmosphere, the music, the world that it's in, and I even enjoy the mechanics that it gives me to play with. If there are two things about video games that can really sucker me in, they are loneliness and cold, snowy environments. Skyrim has both in spades - you can go out into the middle of nowhere and see no one and nothing but landscape and hostile creatures.
That said, the game is nowhere close to "perfect". It's woefully unbalanced, extremely easy to break, buggy as hell, and no one part of it has much depth. The stories involved are never great, the writing only keeps itself from being bland by getting to the point as quickly as possible, and the moment-to-moment combat is very repetitive unless the player him/herself makes an effort to mix things up. None of these things are issues that bug me at all, but they're still issues.
For me, Skyrim is a perfect example of thoroughly enjoying a piece of entertainment despite its many flaws. It's a game that uses its interactivity to present a wide-open world to you, an achievement that few other games really do in the same sense that Skyrim does. And if you come to it looking to master it as a game, then you're going to be extremely disappointed. If you come to it looking to explore, gawk, and do sidequests (quests, not activities, and ones that have actual stories involved), then it's fantastic.

I'd like to hear why you think so, instead of just taking your word for it. I like Oblivion almost as much as I do Skyrim, but it doesn't really have the varied environments and people of Morrowind, nor does it have the polish (as in, looks and mechanics) that Skyrim does.

He just prefers to jump millions of times to level up.

This is exactly why I'm not going to address my points. You've already dismissed them, so I'll just save you the trouble of me explaining myself and you dismissing my views. Just go with this. Accuse me of having no points to begin with or whatever, if it'll help you.

But I didn't dismiss them :(. I genuinely want to hear why you think Oblivion is the better game.
I like TES games less and less over the years. Bethesda puts in too many useless systems, that are meaningless in the game, so the games are full of junk that is not needed. That's a problems for Skyrim because the based games still needed tons of work, the story was terrible, and the limited robot-like way NPCs interact is just embarrassing for a modern game.
For me it's just okay. I feel like Skyrim is a great argument for why quantity isn't neccesarily a good thing in a game; especially when you're building everything on the same basic style of gameplay and presentation, it just seems like you're dooming yourself to have players lose interest at some point. I know I did.
Me too. Preferred Oblivion, that seemed more magical and alive
@outside_potty_machine: Got any more fallacies up your sleeve?
