It’s mostly great and the characters really engage you into their story, there’s even kids in here as well who’ve had to do a lot of work. You may even recognize some of them, am I getting a sense of Ezio (Assassins Creed) and Wheatley (Portal) here and there? In a world this big, and a story so long, there must’ve been plenty of voice acting to be done.
So, apart from the epic musical score, there’s also some great voice acting. And the best thing is, none of the dragons are scripted so they’ll be different every time you fight them. As I continue to dumbly look up, I’m all of a sudden on fire! The dragon appears from behind me (what does this have to do with audio?) Well, at this point, the main theme tune kicks in and I’m in a ferocious fight with a dragon, not man other games can say that, It’s certainly one of the most epic things I’ll ever do in gaming. I’m just happily minding my own business, wondering around, pondering on where I should go, and then I here a flutter of wings, like if you got a drum stick and waved it around, I look up into the sky, scanning the clouds to try and spot him, but to no avail. I’m up on top of the Winterhold College (you have to go there, it’s part of the story), it looks a lot like a castle from the top and you can get a good view of the rest of the surroundings. Skyrim however, is quite the opposite, and I have a little story to tell here. Many games have fantastic memorable theme tunes, which they only use on the menus and not in-game. In most games, I don’t really care for audio, it’s there, but it rarely stick in my noggin. Thankfully, these are few and far between. For instance, almost as soon as I started the game, the first house I walked into had a huge world hole and I got stuck in a loop of falling into the sky/ground. There are a few visual bugs here and there. Overall Skyrim is a beautfiul looking game even if the quality of graphics isn’t up to the likes of Battlefield, it has far more attention to detail. Ahem.) Oh and how could I forget, the dragons, which look amazing. Actually, all the animals look great, there’s wolves, mooses, dogs, and big hairy giant things (but don’t get too friendly with those. The horses look great too, even contending with Red Dead Redemptions. There’s also rain and plenty of snow which often comes into play when your climbing mountains. Seeing the sun rise earling in the morning, shining over you, without a cloud in the sky, is something to behold. The weather in Skyrim really helps show off the beauty of it all. There’s plenty of small villages which have a nice homely feel about them (apart from the ones with wolves in!) And at times, the game looks so beautiful, you won’t even notice the graphics are worse than some games. You see, the graphics don’t need to be great, because the world looks amazing anyway. But these are forgiven when you find a high vantage point and look around the beautiful world of Skyrim. Sure, at times you may think that they could have done a bit more polishing, some textures aren’t great when up close. With Skyrim, it would be nigh on impossible to have the worlds best graphics in the worlds biggest, well, world. Uncharted, Battlefield, and Crysis, are mostly always linear, their worlds aren’t that big, so of course they can have great graphics. Skyrim is no Crysis 2, Uncharted 3, or Battlefield 3 when it comes to graphics, but it probably shows more attention to detail than any of those. If you go into this game knowing what your getting yourself into, knowing you can spend 300 hours of your life in this game, you will have so much fun with it. It’s not always going to be linear, and don’t expect them to spoon feed you with tips and controls, your left to work that out on your own. I think with RPG games like The Elder Scrolls, you have to go into them in the right frame of mind. I’m still working on the main quest, still killing dragons, and I know that once I do beat the main story, theres at least 100 hours worth of side missions to be done.įor some reason, I never managed to get into Oblivion. In Skyrim, 24 hours and 31 minutes is pathetic, I’ve not seen half of what the game has to offer. Oh and I’d probably also have all the collectibles and achievements/trophies. I would probably have completed the game on numerous difficulties, and got to a high rank in on-line multi-player. In most games that would mean I had played the game to the fullest.
