Instead of saying "its amazing the graphics zomg" I'll just tell a tale from my time adventuring within Skyrim:

I entered a small town, upon entering I see a group of people discussing this "evil" Magic user, I inquire more information but am met with many cold shoulders, one individual explained the towns people are mostly paranoid, I continue forward and see a house, burned down to the ground, everyone claimed it was an "accident" But I knew something was afoot, I begin questioning the towns folk and learn someone died in said fire.
Ok, I firmly believe this was no mere "accident"

Now from here I walk up to a young Nordic woman, the second I begin to converse with her a dragon flies across the background spewing frost fire in its wake. The conversation ends and the battle begins, at this moment I do not have my wits about me I unsheathe my axe and begin scanning the sky for the dragon when I spot him, on top a house, breathing ice fire down onto a poor towns woman who did not survive.. I realize at this point there's no way i'll get the dragon to the ground within the town so I take out my bow and lure him to the stables nearby, he lands and I switch to my trusty shield and sword, two archers and my companion followed the dragon and my self, they begin to attack first while I carefully approach him, blocking both the dragons ice breath and jaws I get close and attack, blocking, dodging, skillfully showing him the might of my blade. Just before he is about to die he enters into the sky yet again and I take this moment to hide and regain my senses and health, he finally lands once more and I rush him, jumping onto his head and slashing my axe into his monserious jaws untill finally, he lay bloodied and dead.

Totally unscripted event.

Really? My entire time playing so far (23 hours) I only encountered one glitch, an entire building didnt exist and there was just a hole in the ground to nothingness haha.

I still have yet to play...

But you should develop this further into like some fanfic writing. I did something similar to this with FFXIV. Rescrapping it though.

Fanfic? Really? Lenna, I believe you forget the reason this is a video game. It's meant to be experienced directly, in all of it's visual, dynamic, individualized glory. Writing it out would suck out it's energy, I'd think, especially the story that Haru told.

Now I can't wait to play it when I get home~ ^^

Yeah @.@ I thought of doing a full fledged fanfic based on my time in Skyrim and/or Star Wars: the Old Republic.... but I don't have two lives to dedicate to writing either so I'm gonna save myself the trouble and just play it :D

But I do have a very memorable moment... Just assassinated a political leader for the Dark Brotherhood and immediately followed by a plot twist, I'm running out of the capital, being pursued by guards.... I make it through the surrounding marshlands and cross a river. Then a Frost Dragon decides to attack me :D Luckily I kill it and it actually kills the guards who were chasing me, so it ended quite well for me.

...Who are you Rae? O.o;

Yeah, well I rarely do fanfiction. ...Okay never. Well except one. Starting FFXIV one again, but with new characters. Ending the other one with something hilarious. :D

...I have a memorable moment with Skyrim as well. I played the intro, and after that first dragon where you are to run, I ran... only to not being able to see where I'm going or move where I'm going. Unfortunately... I can't use my mouse on my laptop. Gotta map it to the controller.

One who understands that different experiences can be accomplished between different mediums. Listen to Haru's story, to Shadow's: Bethesda has created a world with so many little interests and adventures that change from play through to play through. The work is already prepared for us to experience the world of Skyrim, so should consume it~! :[|]

Huh...

Still need to get into it. *slams forehead into the desk* I really am trying because everyone loves it. I want to talk about it too. And I think that'll help me get through the game.
