This game should be looked at for the fact how much freedom you have in playing it. Traversing through a dangerous world of Skyrim may take a very long time, even without mods. The world in general is magnificent. The number of encounters with interesting caves, forests, stones, shacks, dungeons may even feel limitless for people. So many atmospheric places are what Skyrim should be proud of. There are so many mods for this game that even after you feel you are done exploring, they can rekindle your journey and add so much to the game. Mods do so much for the game it's hard not to mention them.

The gameplay is fine, literally "learning" how to do various of things including alchemy, combat, magic, sneaking empirically is an interesting and welcomed idea. Combat is okay but feels a bit sluggish and awkward at times. Again, mods can help you a lot with this. Graphics are definitely okay and music can occasionally make you google it.

The actual story, though, is below average. It unfolds slowly and boringly, the main character lacks personality and the idea of you creating that personality for your character is nice in theory but fails to deliver in practice. A few missions are really interesting and engaging but I'd consider them a minority, as sad as I am to say that. The concluding mission looks epic but feels mediocre. For people, who value a gripping, exciting story, Skyrim might be a great disappointment.

However, for people, who love role-playing their games, Skyrim can possibly have an "infinite" potential waiting to be explored. Overal, the game is not perfect but is definitely worth recommending. For some people it may end up being one of the best they've ever played and it has received a wide recognition not without a reason.
