In terms of scope, ambition, and immersion, Skyrim is second to none. No other game offers you more. You’re treated to a pulse pounding first mission to help create and define your character, then you’re left to fend for yourself. You can follow the main story, explore the gorgeous land you’ve been let loose in, or simple head to the nearest village and set it on fire. Those peasants don’t need their homes. Skyrim gives you complete freedom, which is a beautiful thing.
