Yes, I bought Skyrim.
I have to say, the game is simply phenomenal. It misses out on seamless action like a whole bunch of games do nowadays, but that isn't the purpose of the game. The game is about adventure, you're thrown into a quest to save the world (sounds cliché, don't it?)
But, minus the cliché, the world is beautiful and huge. I think it was said to be something like 15 square miles, or something close. In a game, that's huge. In life, that's still pretty big (try walking it).
If you liked Morrowind or Oblivion, you'l love this. The world takes a que from Morrowind and Oblivion by mixing the idea of a surrealist fantasy universe (like in Morrowind) and throwing it into a typical one (like in Oblivion). You don't have typical medieval structure. Rather, think of Norse (Vikings) structures, armour, and landscape. That's what you have, a Norse universe mixed with Norse mythology. But, it isn't all Vikings and Valhalla (Viking 'heaven'). There isn't even mention of Valhalla. Instead, they mix everything in with the mythology of all the other Elder Scroll games. This is awesome because the Elder Scrolls already have a diverse and detailed fantasy universe to rely on.
I cold ramble on and on about this game, but there's only really one point that I have to make.
Dragons.
That is all.
