I'm just going to say it right now, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is probably my most anticipated game of the upcoming year. Skyrim looks like it is going to be everything Oblivion was, and then some. I was in love with Oblivion and would play that game for hours on end, but something about it never captivated me completely, even after the multiple DLC's that came out for it.
Skyrim looks like it is going to change that for me. I never got into Fallout 3, I tried, I really did. Something about the post-apocalyptic didn't appeal to me, but the fantasy world of dragons and goblins really makes me excited. It just feels like something epic when you are firing lightning at a dragon and wielding your glowing sword that makes it so you inflict burning madness on enemies. Okay, maybe the sword part is an exaggeration but it's a fantasy world, anything is possible.
Every gameplay video I've seen from Skyrim that was released at E3 looks amazing, the graphics look sharp and even though some may say, "All it was was them running around looking at the pretty graphics!" I disagree with that. Maybe just running around is what you see on the outside, but they are showing that their game engine can handle the immense pressure put upon it to look amazing while moving freely throughout the world.
For now, I can only dream of how amazing Skyrim is going to be. And yes, I will soon be pre-ordering it and getting my map that comes with it. As time goes on and I see more screenshots and gameplay of Skyrim I'll let you all know how I feel about it, and it will probably be more praise like this whole article seemed to turn out to be. But, what can I say, I'm a sucker for a pretty game set in a fantasy world.
