The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim is the most anticipated fantasy RPG for 2011 for a reason. The new game engine will bring the world of Skyrim to life with a realism never seen before in the previous chapters of the Elder Scrolls series. In the fantasy land of Skyrim, you will venture into forests and mountain ranges, fight dragons and discover treasures, and acquire your skills with daily routines such as farming and mining. Skyrim is the next creation in the award-winning game series. It is the continuation of the Game of the year 2006, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and the next anticipated game from Bethesda Game Studios.

The game begins with the player character as an unknown prisoner in the northern province of Tamriel, the continent on which all previous games in the series have taken place. Skyrim takes place two hundred years after the events of Oblivion, in the land of Skyrim. The country has entered a civil war after the assassination of the King. The god Alduin takes the form of a huge dragon and sets out to destroy the world. The player is the last Dovahkiin alive and must save the world of Skyrim from destruction … Elder Scrolls 5 has the traditional open world gameplay found in the series. There are five cities within Skyrim, with expanses of desert and mountains. Within cities you can complete activities like mining, cooking, and farming, and you can level up by increasing your eighteen skills. You can create weapons and they are assigned to each hand individually. There are different types of spells that can be used at a distance and in close combat. “Fire spells” burn and deal damage, while “cold spells” slow your enemies and remove resistance.

There are some new things in the magic system compared to the previous chapter: dragons will play an important role in the game. Every time you defeat a dragon in Skyrim, you will steal its soul. The more souls you absorb, the more powers you will get for your character. There are more than a dozen “dragon cries” to learn for the character. Each Dragon Shout is made up of three words, with three levels to gain for each shout. Before the player can use them in combat, they must first explore the world of Skyrim and learn the words one by one.

Elder Scrolls V will be based on a new game engine. It has improved significantly from the previous one, bringing more reality to the game. Much has changed in the personalities of the characters and in their behavior that makes sense in the context of the world. In Skyrim, people will have their routines and tasks with which they will fill their days. Non-player characters (NPCs) will react to you in a very realistic way, and can become more hostile or friendly, depending on how you behave towards them. So your relationships with the NPCs have a lot to do with how they behave with you, just like in real life. Bethesda says that the technology that drives the behavior of the NPCs in Oblivion was not overly sophisticated. Basically, the new Radiant AI technology will allow NPCs to appear smarter in Elder Scrolls V.

With the new game engine, lighting is more dynamic and detail in close-ups are increased to make the world of Skyrim more believable. Trees shake violently in stormy weather and all the smallest details have been taken into account. The Radiant Story system is used to randomize player missions, which are tailored based on the character’s process. All in all, the new engine will improve a lot for Elder Scrolls Skyrim, making it a very realistic adventure. For more information on the game, visit: http://www.elderscrollsvshop.com
