How does the game play? Is it like Diablo?

What? Please don't pretend that you don't know. You're a member on a video game site, I think you should know what Elder Scrolls is.


I don't know either, have seen a couple of videos but thats it.

It's not under everyones radar, you know.

I know a lot of gamers that have no idea what this game is about. Actually most of my friends love JRPGs and they havent ever heard this game before. I'll say it's not under a lot of people radar. Wich is rather odd, 'cause it has strong sales and a very big fanbase.

I have no idea what Elder Scrolls is except that it is a Western type RPG. Since Diablo is one of the only western type RPGs I played (and rather disliked), I just asked. The vies is first person, but if it is pretty much hack and slash, I want to know.

Also, I am a Nintendo only guy, with the exception of the PS1. How should I know?

Well, sorry for being so self contained (or whatever the proper word is). The whole world doesn't circle around Elder Scrolls after all even if mine does lol.

It is a first person action RPG. It's not hacknslash and not similar to Diablo in the least. Think of first person melee combat rather than isometric hacknslash.



Looks actually good.

This, Dark Souls and UC3 might make me buy a PS3 this holiday season.

is it more fast paced then fallout 3.

Imo playing a game like KOTR on the computer is fine but on a consul.

IT is different from Fallout 3. I know that sounds wierd. 

I actually didn get on with Fallouut 3 at all. Even though I loved Oblivion to death. I just dont know wat it was. 

Skyrim I have started and by god its bloody amazing. I'm lost in its game world. Only other series to old me like TES is Mass Effect.

It's really good! If you like open world RPGs, this game should be for you. Endless quests, a vast world, improving stats/weapons/armour etc., great music, epic battles and it goes on

Problem is I have not much time to play games...

Yes, it won't be a problem. Some of the characters refer to Oblivion and some of the incidents and characters there but it won't really take a great deal out of your experience if you haven't played the previous installment, just as was the case with Oblivion and Morrowind.

You're missing out on some lore and the workings of the Empire but times have changed anyway. Go for it!



Good god , don't you people know there are some little sites other than this called "Google" and "Youtube" ?
