Skyrim is a popular video game where you explore a vast land called Skyrim, filled with snowy mountains, forests, and ancient ruins. You play as the Dragonborn, a hero with special powers who can fight dragons and shape the fate of the land. You can go on adventures, join guilds, and make choices that affect the world around you. With its beautiful scenery, epic music, and freedom to play how you want, Skyrim is a game loved by many for its immersive experience and endless possibilities.



Skyrim is a classic roleplaying game made by the famous company, Bethesda. Wildly considered one of the greatest fantasy RPG games of all time, praises for the vast open world, freedom and hours of quests can be heard everywhere. Skyrim boasts one of the most beautiful and relaxing worlds ever created, tied with hundreds of personal stories and mission. Each character comes with a unique story and personality, there are hundreds of people to meet over many towns. There are many factions with unique stories, the player can choose to join as many as they want to suit the character they play as. Skyrim is a world of the free and you can truly spend hours fighting wars, killing dragons and crushing bandit camps. If you want to experience a new world full of mystery, beauty and excitement - Skyrim is the game for you. 


The base game just scratches the surface of the world of Skyrim. The Dawnguard DLC fashions a whole new forgotten world, lost to the ages, and revives an ancient danger. The Dawnguard DLC provides a new choice for your Character, join the shadows or fight for the light. A huge main quest, two new areas, two massive factions and hundreds of side quests and characters are just a few things added by the DLC. 


The Dragonborn DLC is what really makes Skyrim such a brilliant game. A new island covered in ash from a nearby volcano is a drastic comparison to the frigid wastes of Skyrim, introducing a new, beautiful world to explore. Once again a new terror is on the rise, this one is something never seen before. Hundreds more hours of content are packed into the small island of Solstheim. Many characters and places from the much older Elder Scrolls game called Morrowind can be found all throughout this world, providing a nice touch of nostalgia for older gamers. New time players will still have plenty to see and experience. A new realm, a whole set of weapons and armor are just a few of the additions added by the Dragonborn DLC. I'm sure anyone will have a incredible time exploring Solstheim and the treasure and trials that come with it. Truly one of the best DLCs of all time.
