Skyrim is definitely, hands-down, one of the best games in recent years, maybe even in gaming history. The graphics (especially with mods installed and a little tweaks to the game's engine) is surreal and beautiful. Admittedly however, the main quest is not that interesting, except for the last one. What makes Skyrim truly shine (along with its DLC's) are the numerous side quests present in the game. By actively seeking out quests and finishing them, players will get a healthy does of loot, and numerous tidbits of information. I've already poured more than 170 hours in this game, and it seems like the quests never end, and I've finished a lot due to my explorative and curious nature. The combat is essentially satisfactory in the vanilla version, but with mods, the combat becomes even better that it keeps you playing the game. I recommend the Dance of Death mod for those lovers of fights, and also Enhanced Blood Textures, for those who love gore. All in all, Skyrim truly captures the essence of a single-player RPG, with the graphics, numerous side quests, and the combat that keeps you going on.
