If you're lucky enough to have a copy you'll know that ones you load the game there's time to grab a coffee while the game loads it's essential components.
Once the game starts you'll find yourself captive facing execution within even doing a thing! I won't spoil the start but I will tell you you survive,but you knew that or it would be the world's shortest game!
Like any good game the action builds and the training begins. If you're like me you can't wait to start the action and I don't really read all the text (you should). All I want to do is get started exploring the vast HD landscapes, I found myself ignoring the instructions and just standing looking around at the vast landscape.

I've only just started playing, I thought about an hour, turned out to be nearer six hours, that's got to be the sign of a great game.
Skyrim will rule your life so allow plenty of time for playing, don't start it just before you're due to go to work or meet your girlfriend (or you may not have one for long).
I'll keep you posted on my progress, starting to shake as I've been away for too long. So it's off to explore more of Skyrim's vast empire.
