Of rimming the sky....WAIT, THAT SOUNDS SO WRONG!!


*points to my background* (okay, in case I changed it. It's....the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim logo)
See that? That's my main point - SKYRIMMMMM

XD
I realised that I have not blogged about this game so I'll just do this now, since I've got some time on my hands....

This game is just amazing.
Here, have a picture. :D


What? The Elder Scrolls V? It's the fifth installment in the elder scrolls series. I've never played the first 4, so I had completely no idea what to expect from this game. But all I have to say is that this game is just amazing. In most ways possible. It's an open world game, where you can wander Skyrim freely. Try to imagine like...World of Warcraft. Yeah, that's right. It's like WoW, where you carry out quests, help/kill people and the shit. LOL. Yup...

(This is going to be a loooonnnngggg post)

For those who know this game and love it, *high five*
For those who know this game and well...probably don't really fancy it....I don't know what to say.

So, for those who don't know this game, allow me to provide with you with a little sypnosis. =v=

IF YOU HATE SPOILERS DO NOT CARRRRYYYY OOONNNN!!!

**************Giving you a chance..It's your chance to turn back*****************





**********************Seriously now.....**********************







*********************Okay, you asked for it. =v=********************************


So, you start off being in a cart with 3 unknown men (*dramatic music plays*)
No, don't worry, you don't even know your gender in the beginning, so there's no point worrying. =v='l'

Anyway, they blabber about some Stormcloak crap and some guy named Ulfric is in the cart with you and apparently, he 'shouted' the previous High King of Skyrim apart. (Getting weird? Wait, it gets better. =v=)
Well, you then find out that you were on the way to the execution site- to execute who?
Well....whoever is in the cart (eventhough you're innocent. Good e.g. would be the guy from Rorikstead in the cart)

Oh yes, then you get to decide who you are. Whether are you a female or male, or what race would you like to be. Then customise your character accordingly. Something like Sims! :D

The races in Skyrim are:






NORDS







BRETON







IMPERIAL






REDGUARD









ALTMER (HIGH ELVES)







BOSMER (WOOD ELVES)






DUNMER (DARK ELVES)






ARGONIAN








ORC










KHAJIIT





INTERESTING HUH? XD

Then, just as you are about to be executed (beheaded, to be more exact), guess what appears to your rescue?
A Dragon. :D
Yes, a big cool dragon!!!!

YOU MEAN LIKE THESE????
     



YES!!! THEY ARE JUST SO AMAZING!!!!! 
OMG!!! They can not only shoot fire, some can even shoot ice out!!! OMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMGOMG
*lost in excitement*

*clears throat* Sorry. =.=

Yeah, so eventually you escape the execution site with either (One of the officers or one of the convicts)
They will eventually ask you to join either one side of the war (The Imperials or the Stormcloaks)

So, yeah. That's where your journey starts. Then you will carry out quests, etc...until then you find out that you are a Dragonborn. 
What's a dragonborn?

"Skyrim legend tells of a hero known as the Dragonborn, a warrior with the body of a mortal and soul of a dragon, whose destiny it is to destroy the evil dragon Alduin."

That's the generic definition of a Dragonborn. Haha. A dragon born is basically a human/whatever-race-you-are that is able to speak the language of the dragons because of the dragon blood inside them.

The main point about Skyrim is about the Dragonborn defeating the enslaving dragon, Alduin, who has returned after being sent away for I think hundreds of years? Dragons have not been sighted for a very long time until the dragon in Helgen (where you were about to be executed)
So, the Dragonborn will discover his/her duty to learn about being a Dragonborn and use the gift to save mankind from Alduin. 
Seems interesting enough? 
It doesn't stop there, you get to carry out more big side quests like the Companions quest, the Thief Guild quest and the College of Winterhold quest. (All of these seem like alien language to you? Don't worry, play and you will understand :D)

Speaking of which, I have included the map of Skyrim here! :)

Skyrim has 7 main holds:
Markath, Solitude, Winterhold, Riften, Whiterun, Falkreath and Morthal

It's a lot to explore, but take time and just enjoy the game. :)
For me, this game has like...the most stunning sceneries and environment ever....It is just....breathtaking. Especially looking at the aurora at night or the mountains, the waterfalls, the streams, the rivers, everything about the environment is just....TOP NOTCH!



  





TRY IT OUT!!!!! OMG!!!! XD




FUS RAH DAH!!!!!
