a5c7b9f00b The Aldmeri Dominion Invaded Tamriel and the Empire was almost defeated. But in the last hours the Empire signed The White Gold Concordat To be in peace with the Thalmor. Talos worship was banned in one of the treatys. After this The High King Of Skyrim has been murdered by Ulfic Stormcloak the Jarl Of Windhelm. The Jarl made the Stormcloak rebellion to fight against the Imperial Legion stationed in Skyrim. The Imperials ambushed the Stormcloaks and taken to Helgen. One of the prisoners was the Last Dragonborn Who was attacked by mistake And the Imperials did not know that he or she is not one of the Stormcloaks. When in Helgen the Last Dragonborn was supposed to be exucuted But then Alduin the leader of the Dragons attacked the Town. Then The player must escape Helgen and must learn the Way Of The Voice to control His powers. He or she can join the Legion or the Stormcloaks. He or she&#39;s destiny is to Destroy the evil Dragon Alduin. While he goes to the Blades Who where disbanded when the Peace treaty was signed. The Dragonborn will save Both Skyrim and the Empire. The country of Skyrim is locked in a bloody civil war between the Imperial army serving the Empire of Tamriel, and the Nordic rebel army of Stormcloaks named after their leader Ulfric Stormcloak. A midst this war, the gods have awaken the eldest dragon Alduin who has the ability to raise deceased dragons and devour living and dead souls. But there is one who can bring peace, this individual who has the ability to absorb the souls of a dead dragon and use to learn their tongue. They call that person; Dragonborn. Now, now, I am not trolling here, nor am I some hipster who hates everything popular. I do not have a problem with somebody liking this game, but it&#39;s still an objectively awful game. Allow me to explain:<br/><br/>1)Presentation is pretty lacklustre all around. While the graphics are pretty okay, the visuals are some of the blandest I&#39;ve ever seen. While justification is given for the brown and grey you see, it&#39;s still very much uninteresting and unpleasant. Music is great. Voice acting is quite poor though, and sound effects lack &quot;oompf&quot;. <br/><br/>2)Plot is poorly written, you have no bearing on the world whatsoever (guys, we&#39;ve had persistent world RPGs since 1989&#39;s Wasteland!), it blatantly retcons the lore established in the previous games (which I also don&#39;t think are the greatest games ever, but this is just terrible) and the only &quot;choice&quot; you make is whether you join the Imperial army or the Stormcloak. Both are awfully written and pointless, besides having little to no relevance to the world and, for God&#39;s sake, can you tell me why would you join a faction that tried to kill you? <br/><br/>3)Combat is depth-less. I don&#39;t consider Skyrim to be a role-playing game because your choices don&#39;t affect anything, but rather a dungeon crawling hack n&#39; slash. Is it a good hack n&#39; slash? NO! Your equipment boils down to:a)It&#39;s so ridiculously over-powered it breaks the game completely. The game&#39;s enchanting system allows your stone sword to be better than the best sword in the game, or b)It&#39;s so under-powered it is virtually useless. Magic, for example, is pointless beyond healing. <br/><br/>4)I like dungeon crawlers, but this is one of the worst! The dungeons are all linear and their puzzles are laughably easy. They are samey and repetitive, usually it&#39;s some cave or cavern where you just move from point a to point b, and get some useless loot at the end. <br/><br/>5)Factions make no sense. This speaks for itself-how did I manage to be leader of the mages&#39; guild, barely putting any points into magic? All it takes to become a guild member is to enter some dungeon and whack things in the face. <br/><br/>6)The game treats you like a moron. It gives you quest markers everywhere, even though the instructions you are given are so vague your character can&#39;t possibly know the exact location. <br/><br/>7)It&#39;s painfully easy to break the game using the enchanting system and perk tree. <br/><br/>8)What people like most about Skyrim is the exploration. But here&#39;s the thing-the exploration aspect sucks! You move from point a to point b, enter a dungeon, whack things in the face, repeat however times you want.<br/><br/>9)Your main villain is a dragon, and while this is cool on paper, it&#39;s laughably easy to beat, and it again has no bearing on the game&#39;s world.<br/><br/>10)Then you have the stuff that&#39;s there but has no point, like marriage. <br/><br/>Ultimately, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is a terrible game. It&#39;s not a good role-playing game, not a good hack n&#39; slash, not a good dungeon crawler and not a good game. 2/10-terrible. I thought Oblivion was dissatisfying, but this one is a tremendous load of crap. Bethesda Shovelworks should continue outsourcing their game design, because it&#39;s apparently something they can&#39;t do anymore. There was a time that Bethesda loved game design more than profits, but now that they&#39;ve turned that on it&#39;s head, they should use those profits to hire a company that hasn&#39;t been eaten up by a corporate culture that is self-defeating to game production.<br/><br/>In terse: Shallow gameplay. Painfully poor story. Voices slightly less lackadaisical than Oblivion but nowhere near the enthusiasm of Shivering Isles. Bethesda used to have a stable of fine, developing talent; do they realize there&#39;s a problem that they couldn&#39;t get those voice actors back? Did they even notice the decline in their performance between Morrowind and Oblivion? This game may be rescued by the talented and dedicated mod community, but Bethesda doesn&#39;t deserve a cent it received for this lemon.
