Skyrim, to play or not to play, that is the question

Well it may be the digital versions that are buggy.Most of the time the game crashes is when Im going through a door or during fast travel.It goes to the loading screen and freezes up there.It boggles the mind that in this day and age theres still loading
times.Why not load the game in chunks like Minecraft does.Seems to work fine.

I would not advise buying this game unless you love rebooting your console every 30 minutes.512 mb of ram is insufficient to run the games engine which results in frequent crashes of your console.Framerates drop in some places rendering the game virtually
unplayable.I did enjoy the parts I did get to play but the many glitches really hurt this game.You spend 20000 gold to have a horse to ride only to have your precious mount killed because it makes sense that a horse should attack a dragon or gallop off a
cliff for no apparent reason.

I bought skyrim about 6 weeks ago at a car boot sale, it hasn`t gotten into my console yet.

For Skyrim, I think you would like it.

It has a more 'med-evil' and 'viking' feel to it than anything, which feels surprisingly good and refreshing. While with the story, you won't be able to make many real decisions which matter, but the stories and quests in it, especially the guilds, can really
draw you in. My personal favorite is the Dark Brotherhood, with what happens and when you go out to assassinate people. I don't know why I really enjoy that part... should I be worried?

Anyway, it also has a good number of weapons in it of various kinds, a new ability that lets you 'Shout' at enemies, which can range from sending them flying away like ragdolls, setting the aflame, or even slowing down time. It is run by a cooldown timer,
too, so it doesn't cost mana. This feature will be one I will sorely miss in the next Elder Scrolls game, that's for sure.

The music is so darn incredible as well. You will probably forever remember the music in this game, especially the song that plays when you fight against a dragon. If there is only one thing a person can say they like about the game, it would HAVE to be
that.

There are also a few DLC for the game as well, each one being pretty good. Personally, I think they are a little TOO overpriced, and that they should knock their price down by five dollars each, but that doesn't mean they aren't enjoyable. Dawnguard is fun
and adds in the strongest ranged weapon in the game, the crossbow, as well as a new vampire and
werewolf class (the second one is censored so I don't spoil anything by mistake). Hearthguard is... meh. There's no action in it, but you can build your own house and adopt a child, things like that. It is the cheapest
of the DLC, so if you like that sort of thing, go ahead. The Dragonborn DLC is probably the best of them all, adding in an entirely new area with a good amount of quests, weapons, and enemies, as well as new equipment and weapons. This one is the most expensive,
but is well worth it, even for the high price. Still, if you want, you can wait until the DLC goes on sale. I'm sure it will eventually.

If you are still unsure, I actually know of a good reviewer that I can link a video to. Seeing the game in action is the best way to tell if you might like it or not.

Just one last thing. Bethesda games are known for their glitches. Most are small and funny, but sometimes it can cause the game to crash, or a quest to glitch up. Most of these issues have been fixed through patches, which is a good thing, but it should
still be mentioned. I once had a glitch where a third of the ground in Whiterun, one of the cities you first get to, didn't load in, and I could walk under the ground and out of the city's walls! But once I got to a certain distance, the game crashed because
it had no idea what to do with my character.

Anyway, I hope you at least try the game! I think it's well worth the money! Especially if you get the version that has all of the DLC in it, the 'Legendary Edition'!

'I also find that neither the action or rpg mechanics are that thrilling(I feel like Kingdoms of Amalur: Reckoning does it much better.)'.

Explain this? I'm curious. I agree with the lack of a sense of impact and the strange design choices for magic,
