I have been playing Skyrim for a few months now and I have kept a journal of adventures. Here is the first part I hope you all enjoy it!!
First Thought: Oooo, nice opening!
Second Thought: I wanna see a dragon!!!!
Third thought: today seems like a good day to die a few times.
Fourth Thought: Holy Toleto!!! It's a Dragon!!!!!!!!!
I heard the game had no cinematics and I wondered how the opening would be. It was perfect and straight to the point. No overlong introduction! It opened up with the movie title, so i felt more like i was actually going to be a part of something spectacular! then tthere’s 5 mins of listening to prisoners talk about dying and going home. The character creation screen was very, very nice, definitely a step up from oblivion, a lot of things are which will be features in later posts. But the best part of the scene was Alduin’s appearance, you will know that if you play with subtitles. That had to be the most amazing Dragon I had ever seen! I spent a hour watching that Dragon destroy everything, there where a few glitches, Getting close to him a few times was nice until he started setting me on fire, whacking me with his foot, and shaking me like a rag doll, which is always a good way to die, at least I does for my country right?
One thing that was a disappointment was that I had heard that the dragons actually talk so I was super stoked to see this only to see that I would have to have the subtitles on actually understand what he was saying and he didn't even move his mouth while talking? Like really.... But on a good note the dragons look beyond amazing so to me that makes up for it.
Moving on! After getting into the main quest, I had a hard time finding that damn dragonstone. First I didn’t know where the cave entrance was, so I constantly walked around that giant mountain. After checking the diary, I found it. They could’ve put a marker on the screen.... I seriously wasted 25 minutes scaling a giant mountain to find a cave I had already passed by about 10 times.. Fail.
After going through creepy hallways and reaching the goal, the game jumped into high gear when I found a rock with the scribbles on it. I liked acquiring a dragon word actually made me feel powerful. Too bad you can’t get those in real life.
Then I fought my very first Dragon!! Getting burned to a crisp by the dragon was fun! I spent most of the battle looking at him thinking "aww isn't he just the greatest thing since sliced apple pie" just wish I could get atop that dragon and take him for a ride! (Little did i know in dragon born dlc i could!!)
Using the power of Dragon Shouts felt morelike using the Force…but with SCREAMING!!
So this is my first impression of Skyrim. Thank you so much for reading!!
