First, the game's production values work hard to immerse the player in Bethesda's sword and sorcery world. As with Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion and Fallout 3 before it, Skyrim is a game that's easy to completely lose yourself in. The game's developer, Bethesda, has banked a rather lucrative existence on creating open-world RPGs that are filled to bursting with content. This shouldn't come as too much of a surprise. The sheer size of the adventure, both in terms of its environment and in the amount of activities available to the player, is mind-blowing. The reason for this is that Skyrim is one of the most gargantuan undertakings gamers will experience all year. But the one asset players will need above all else is time. These are all attributes players will need if they hope to succeed in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Others ask for a willingness to think outside the box or some degree of intelligence for puzzle solving. Some demand lightning-fast reflexes and the commitment it takes to master the depth of their controls. E very game has a single over-riding requirement for its players.
