The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim PS3 (Imported)

 

 

The fifth installment of The Elder Scrolls takes place in Skyrim, where peace is threatened by the ongoing civil war between a Nordic separatist faction and the Empire's IV Legion, as well as the return of the dragons under the game's main antagonist, the great dragon Alduin (seemingly separate from, but religiously considered the Nordic equivalent of Akatosh).

 

Skyrim is the northernmost region of Tamriel and its geography consists of mountains, snowy tundras, pine forests, rural countrysides and arctic plains. Its architecture and atmosphere is very similar to the town of Bruma in The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. Although it is roughly the same size as Oblivion's Cyrodiil (approximately 41 square kilometers in area or 15.8 square miles), it is the least populated of all regions in Tamriel and features more lush forests and grassy areas than Cyrodiil. Although there are only five cities within the province, most are larger than the cities of Cyrodiil and are complemented with smaller townships dotted through the land with huge swathes of wilderness separating them all.

 

There are over 150 dungeons scattered across Skyrim. Fast-traveling is a returning feature, allowing the player to instantly travel to any marked location that has been previously visited.

 

New enemies to the series include Mountain Giants, Frost Trolls, Mammoths, Frostbite Spiders, Ice Wraiths, Hagravens, and Dragons. The game features non-hostile dragons, but they are quite rare and usually important to the storyline. There are also children present in the game for the first time since Daggerfall, where they made several appearances.
