I used to be an adventurer just like you, then I took an arrow to the knee.
So. I thought for quite some time about how to start this musing on Bethesda’s Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. (And by quite I mean at least five minutes as opposed to my normal run and gun approach. I’m not sure that’s an apt metaphor but I’m sure you get my meaning.) I thought about opening with a story about how I first discovered the Elder Scrolls series with Morrowind. But then I realized that I didn’t really remember very much beyond staring at wallpaper for Balmora and thinking how awesome that game was going to be. And it was.
