The story in the game is highly praised for its engaging plot and well-developed characters, particularly in the context of the ongoing civil war in Skyrim, where players must choose sides between the Empire and the Stormcloak rebellion. The open-world design allows for organic exploration and discovery of quests, providing players with a vast array of gameplay possibilities and a sense of freedom in how they experience the narrative.
“Along with this, once a player has chosen their race, they are soon informed through the first mission of the ongoing civil war in Skyrim, and are faced with the second major decision of fighting alongside the Empire or the Stormcloak rebellion.”
“Unlike most video games, quests in Skyrim are not simply given to you; some you will stumble upon or even have to go looking for yourself.”
“The term 'open world' is used to describe this game a lot, meaning players can and are expected to roam around and explore freely, finding things and quests organically.”
“The story feels disjointed and lacks a cohesive narrative, making it hard to stay engaged.”
“Character development is shallow, and many of the NPCs feel one-dimensional and forgettable.”
“The main plot is predictable and fails to deliver any real emotional impact or twists.”
