The new engine in Skyrim only grants experience when the skill is used in a practical manner. Before, a player could raise their skills simply by casting a spell repeatedly, or jumping over and over (if you were an acrobat). Skyrim's experience system is more intelligent than its predecessors. However, it takes a great deal longer to level up, as opposed to the former games. Personally, I think it is a huge improvement over the last system, and find it far superior. Also, make sure to buy it new, so the hard working coders at Bethesda get the money they deserve!įans of the Elder Scrolls series who have been playing since day one, or even fans who started from Oblivion, may notice that the game is quite different with the new leveling system. If you have not picked up the game yet, please do (my fiancée even plays!). It's quite the beatuiful and immersive experience. Skyrim is another part to a series set in the fantasy world of Tamriel, a world filled with mystical creatures, folklore, and even its own history. It will likely be video game of the year a few times over.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim set off a bang in the video game world this month.
