What makes this game so good? Its environments are beautiful, its lore is lush, its pace is malleable, its interface is simple, its fun is fun (lol). This game in short does its best without worrying about trying to bleed the gamer dry. It's a little sad that I haven't had this much enjoyment out of a game for a while, with most of gaming becoming mainstreamed the creativity I usually see is scarce these days. Skyrim is a haven of creativity and is a game that delivers on almost all accounts.
