Ahh good old Elder Scrolls, The same concept as the previous games... but prettier and more land to explore. Essentially a first/third person roleplaying game where you can do whatever you wish.

Has some great features such as:
- Horses (new to the series)
- Much bigger land to explore
- Masses of dungeons and locations to plunder
- Huge (as in Colossal) modding comunity... essentially the point of the series nowadays
- Great graphics and full facial customisation

It does however have some drawbacks:
- Pretty flat main storyline
- No real goal to strive for (although with the modding comunity as it is, this is easily fixed)
- Very uninteresting charecters and somewhat unimersive world (again this has been more than compensated for by the comunity)

It's a great series of games, I got months of entertainment out of this game and its previous installment Morrowind. It's pretty much a game engine that's handed to the modding world to play with, you'll definitly enjoy it if you're a fan of customising games, and for those not so into that it's just a great RPG to play with constantly updating free bonus content.
