Let me just say that this game is not only graphically impressive, it is somewhat intimidating (as I guess virtually every Elder Scrolls game is). Walking out of that first dungeon and hearing your companion send you on your way simply dashed me with a wave of "Errr, OMG... what in the world do I do now?!". I instantly took my female Khajit character named Jade to the highest point possible in hopes of just looking out over the landscape to see what I can see. Unlike some unlucky souls whom I've heard ran into Giants and Dragons as their first encounters, I managed to find a simple Bandit cave nearby that led to my decision to craft my character into magic using assassin of sorts. Upon tearing though this hideout, I instantly began jumping into the interesting equipment creation and forging aspect of the game with the intent of being an adventuring trader of sorts (my alibi I guess). I can only imagine the adventures I'll get myself into as I search for materials to forge that ultimate set of assassin's gear.
After clearing that cave, I roamed to the nearby town of Riverwood to check in with my companion and his blacksmith connection. There I traded a bit and determined what future tasks I would take on between advancing the plot of telling the Lord of the land about the dragon we had all seen recently.
With all that complete, I wrapped up my first 2 hours of playing SKYRIM with an amazed nod of admiration. Without a doubt I felt this game was more enjoyable than Oblivion. For some reason I couldn't get over the need to go into Oblivion portal after portal. Still, how can I forget those first moments of watching the hue of the sky darken and change as I approached a portal knowning what was in or around it. Ominous and memorable stuff to be assured. Still, I can't wait until my first Dragon siting. Dragon slaying looks to be one of those repeatedly fun and epic moments that I will never tire of though.
So, here's to Bethesda and possibly the best game of an impressive year of next-gen gaming!
