People have high expectations for Skyrim, especially after the article that was written by GameInformer which showed how the game play would be changed from simple one-hand and a shield combat to giving you the option choose shield and spell, or two weapons. This game also has a new skill section which makes it easier to level up in a skill, they also raised the level cap to about 50, while Skyrim is supposed to have a loose level cap of 50 which means you can go above that but it does not good to do so.

The creators of Skyrim put a lot of effort into this game because they created their own language with a 34 character alphabet for the language of the Dragons


The main character of this game is chosen by the player who can choose a number of races to be, but they all end up with the same beginning story.
