With many geeks the world over absolutely in love with playing Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, it’s only natural that some of them would be creative. And while the most I’ve managed to do is write up some semi-witty blog entries about the game and my accomplishments, other people, like Dan Bull, have created an epic Skyrim rap!

So overall, I’m not yet sure if I’ll be writing a Skyrim review. The game has been out for about a month, and I haven’t beaten it yet. There’s just so much to do in the open worldness of it. The main storyline is the least exciting draw. My orc, Tannenbaum the Warrior Poet, has done so much else on the side. He trained at the Bard College, he crafted a full set of armor out of dead dragons, he slew the head of a museum dedicated to the bad guys from Elder Scrolls IV, and he did that under command of a demon. The demon gave Tannenbaum a knife in return, told him to spread carnage in his demon name. But Tannenbaum just threw the knife into his trunk back home.

I took a few more pictures, if you like. This one shows the epic scale of the game world.

A nice view

I can literally travel to anywhere I see, and that’s just a fraction of the world of Skyrim. There’s so much to do and see. For example, here’s Tannebaum slaying a dragon. It’s hard to see, but that’s him on the dragon’s head. Tannenbaum jumped on top and smashed his deadly axe into the dragon’s head.

An axe he forged out of pure ebony metal and a demon’s heart. The axe is imbued with fire, and it is name is ‘Demon’s Run’. Some of you will get that reference.

‘Demon’s run when a good man goes to war’

The graphics, especially of the dragons, are spectacular.

But it’s not just dragon-slaying and axe-making in Skyrim, no sir! There’s a lot of fun to be had as well. Just this weekend, Tannenbaum was walking a road to get to a nearby township when he was suddenly passed by the ghost of the headless horseman.

Somehow he’d fallen off his ghost horse. You can see it in the distance

Tannenbaum chased him halfway across the world map before finding a headless body…and looting it for a bit of coin.

So yeah, with so much going on and so very late since the game’s release, I haven’t decided if I’ll write a full review or not. Let me know in the comments.
