I game on my PC, and unfortunately Skyrim is only available through Steam. I don't like playing through Steam, and it's knocked me off of several franchises I enjoyed quite a lot. :/ Anyway.<br /><br />When you get through Skyrim, I suggest hunting up Morrowind. It's the second-previous game, and I know it was available for cartridge systems too; you might be able to get it really cheap used by now. The graphics aren't as awesome as in Skyrim, and smithing isn't there, but in some ways I like it best of the three modern ES games. (The middle game was Oblivion; had its cool aspects, but Morrowind is better. I haven't played enough Skyrim to have a firm judgement yet, but I'm inching toward putting Skyrim above Oblivion.)<br /><br />I like the open-endedness of these games, the fact that you're <i>not</i> locked onto the rails of the mainline quest. You can pretty much do whatever you want, set your own goals, decide what you want to achieve and how. In Morrowind in particular, there's an amazing amount of replayability there. You get a lot of game for your money when it's not all about the main plotline.<br /><br />Enjoy!<br /><br />AngieAngiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11920578701763415331noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28221839.post-84147403979402199392012-06-02T21:05:34.667-05:002012-06-02T21:05:34.667-05:00I have not played a video game since the 1970s.

He will probably understand what you have to say about Skyrim far better than I do. I am content with Chess and Literati and once in a while turn to Dave, Mario and Paratrooper, the latter an old DOS game. Polar Bear is another favourite. Pacman frightened me!Prashant C.
