In essence, this is a tremendously crafted power fantasy that gives you a vast, blank canvas to work from. It’s your task to rid the land of these troublesome overgrown lizards and bring peace to the Nordic wilds of Tamriel.
Luckily for you, a multitude of dragons across the kingdom of Tamriel have awoken from their eternal slumber, and are ready to wreak havoc upon the inhabitants of the titular province of Skyrim. This bestows you the skill to shout a plethora of mighty spells, which you slowly unlock as you progress through the story. Using this extraordinary gift, you are granted the potential to harness the power from the nasty winged beasts once you’ve defeated them in battle.
A quick recap for those uninitiated few (all three of you): This fifth iteration in Bethesda’s critically lauded Elder Scrolls franchise focuses on you – the “Dragonborn” – an unlikely hero who possesses the unique power to consume dragon souls.
