Bethesda's Skyrim is the fifth installment in the Elder Scrolls saga, set 200 years after the events of Oblivion. Skyrim is the northernmost province of Tamriel, the continent upon which all of the Elder Scroll games are set. In terms of new features, Skyrim uses the
new Creation Engine which allows for dynamic weather changes including rain and snowfall and much improved lighting, shadows, animation, scripting and landscape compared to previous Bethesda games. Ever wanted to be a vampire or a werewolf? You can experience that in Skyrim. Maybe a career as a musician or having a virtual book collection is more up to your speed? These are also possible in Skyrim. In fact, there is very little you cannot do in this game. If that level of immersion wasn't enough, try strapping on NVIDIA's 3D Vision kit and see the real world melt away as you are transported to the ancient and harsh world of Skyrim.
