As in the previous games, character creation is a joy. You can choose from among Argonians (that's lizard-folk), four types of humans (Imperials, Nords, Bretons, and Redguards), Orcs, three kinds of elves (High, Dark and Wood) and the feline Khajiit. Each race has its own history, agenda and of course, different types of skill bonuses.

The first modern Elder Scrolls game was Morrowind. It was one of those heartbreaking games: if everything in the game had been as good as the good things, it would have been an...

Are you getting bloated save files at 20-90 Megs? Is your precious Skyrim that you've spent 500+ hours slowing down? Don't worry! There's an easy but time-consuming solution to this!

•Unfavourite "favourite" items that you've left in chests and given to followers.

•Dump any hoarded items from your house/s and some accumulating items that you give to followers in "re spawning items" such as: dead bandit bodies, giant's corpses or a container that you don't own. Eventually, these items will disappear from your save file after just a few in-game...
