About this game

Bethesda's 2011 role playing game, set in a cold province you are free to walk out into from the first hour. There are no classes. Skills go up by being used, so you become a smith by smithing and a thief by stealing, and the character you end up with is whatever you spent your time doing. Shouts are the other half, words of the dragon language learned off walls in old ruins and powered by the souls of the dragons you kill. The quest system keeps generating errands and aims them at parts of the map you have not visited, which is either the engine of the whole thing or filler, depending on your patience.
