The story works and it gets you through, it is a 15-20 hour campaign story, but there is always much, much, much more to the amount of story content here. That's the entire story it's not a bad one, but in an Elder Scrolls game you do start to feel overpowered quite quick, and even though you are essentially a god, it doesn't feel right in the context of past scrolls games. You find out that there is a cult of people who spend their entire lives dedicated to this art you visit them, they tell you that you are special, teach you to use your powers, and then you go out to discover why dragons are coming back to the land of Skyrim. A man that is capable of speaking the dragon language with ease and able to "shout." These shouts are actually portions of the dragon language and allow you to do all kinds of things like breathe fire, turn into a spirit, or just push people back with the power of your voice. So you find out you are a special kind of person, you are the Dragonborn.
You fight, you kill it – way too easily might I add – then you start to absorb his soul… No, really, you absorb the dragon's soul. If you follow the story you end up telling a nearby city that there are dragons, and eventually you get into a fight with one. You can just go and kill bad guys and discover all of the environmental storytelling or even self-contained quests in one of the many, many dungeons.
There are story plots and the such, but you never have to indulge yourself on them if you don't want to. The magical thing about a game like Skyrim is that you are left to your own devices. 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.
