Between the two of them, Jeremy Parish and Thierry Nguyen have invested more than 125 hours into The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim — enough to see the two main quest lines to completion, but still not enough to have explored all the game has to offer, by far. Still, their combined experiences (not to mention their wildly different play styles) give them a clear sense of Skyrim’s strengths and weakness.
Jeremy: Why do you play video games? And what do you expect from them? Do you seek challenge? Entertainment? Competition? Escapism? Relief for boredom? A compelling story? Bragging rights? Intellectual stimulation? Put all of these motives and interests into a matrix; few corners would be left untouched by Skyrim. It’s a vast game, as enormous in the physical real estate it occupies as it in the breadth of material it provides within those virtual boundaries. About all it doesn’t do is multiplayer.
