You pick a side, fight through some enemies and then you find yourself out in the open world of Skyrim. On your way to the chopping block dragons attack and you are quickly left to make decisions on who you are going to side with, guys that look like guards, or guys that look like Norsemen. Turns out you aren't supposed to be here, shocker, so you spend too much time making a character and then you're told you are going to be executed. In every scrolls game you start off as an undefined character, you are just a cog on its way to death. I'm not going to go too deep into the story, since most of you have played through the game and it would be redundant, however, this review will give a good basis of the story concept as well as if anything has changed. The basic story of it is good enough to make you feel important, but it is also a little out there and feels out of place in the world of Tamriel. Morrowind had an okay story, I didn't personally love it, Oblivion's was great but simple, and Skyrim's is something of a comic book story.
The Elder Scrolls games as a series has had a lot of ups and downs, and for me, this is the middle of the line.
