The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

The rather modestly designed main menu

Loading screen

'Tis a BEAR, my friends! What do we do, what do we do?..

In the mood for some CHEESE?.. Like other Elder Scrolls games, the world of Skyrim is very detailed

Forest and mountains - let us begin our travel!

Hmm, what are those strange symbols?..

I just dived underwater in a random place, and look what I found!

My Khajiit character is looking at the town, his tail waving in the wind... :)

Yakity yak, yakity yak, yakity yak-i-yaky tak!

You think you can climb that mountain, horsie?..

You'll meet many mysteriously-looking characters with their own agenda

My "hero" just killed this poor innocent woman in her own bed, took her clothes, and moved her body onto the carpet. Jail is nearing

Lockpicking is similar to Fallout 3. Personally, I prefer the Oblivion system

The menu is weirdly designed, but at least it has full-size graphical items

The main map. You can't just fast-travel to any major city here. Good call, Bethesda!

Visiting a tavern and listening to a folk song performed by the local bard

Dialogue choices during crucial quest events

The books are back, of course :) This is one of the volumes of "The Real Barenziah", one of my favorites

Virtual tourism continues - now in Skyrim!

Err... are you sure you want to ATTACK this guy?..

Just admiring the beautiful night sky...

The city of Markarth

The AI does not react to events when in dialogue mode

I was traveling and came upon this. Radiant AI sometimes comes up with very odd situations

The expansive, non-linear Blackreach stands in stark contrast to most of Skyrim's formulaic dungeons

The constant NPC comments can be funny, at least the first ten times you hear them

The special effects are very pretty

While the graphics have greatly improved from Oblivion, there is still too much inappropriate bloom all over the place

The field of view can easily be changed for good effect

Sunrise.

On the road at night.

Every dungeon has its rewards.

Aurora Borealis.

Sundown.

Lydia, faithful companion.

A lake, somewhere in Skyrim.

The mill at the end of the road. Maybe they serve breakfast there!
