Skyrim
There is a reason I have bought it more than six times.
Every night I see the northern lights over the Pale. The song Aurora rises to a crescendo as I give in to sleep. It drifts in and out of my dreams as it cycles on repeat until, eventually, the sun hits the edge of the horizon and I start another day.
Time to go make lunches...
If there is such a thing as a perfect storm, Skyrim has to be listed among that rare category of creations. There are few things like it in the game world. A mix of striking visuals, perfectly tuned audio, and a gameplay that works regardless of skill level.
Somehow this combination has had a tremendous influence on how I think about RPG design, art, and fiction.
