Game Reviews: The Elder Scrolls V - Skryim

A game so awesome I couldn't even update my blog for a month.

This game is the best game I've ever played.
It has a really good, medieval setting.

The story starts off with you as a prisoner waiting for your head to be chopped off (Executed) and once you were at the chopping board a dragon appears. It destroyed the entire city (or town) and allowing you to escape. 

After you escape, you learn that the land of Skyrim that was once ruled by the people of Forsworn was taken by Nords (two different races) and then the Nords rebelled against their king. So the people who are for the king were the Imperials and those who rebelled were the Stormcloaks. 

After that you learn that you are a born dragonslayer, and you apparently absorb souls from the dragons and learn how they shout. Dragons have a special language which would take a normal person decades just to learn one word which you (player) can learn in a second.

Normally you get attacked by bandits now and then. I survived in that game by being a thief, the fastest way to earn money without doing work, minus the killing everyone part.

BUGS

There is one very common bug for the PC version, which I play. Quest name is: A Cornered Rat. One part is that you are supposed to go to the Ratway Warrens in Riften to look for some old guy named Esbern.

He is really, really annoying through the whole quest(s) because he has a bug that causes him to not open the door, not speak, and if you turn on subtitles it goes really really fast.

So the fix is either you instal a PATCH or you use a CHEAT.

PATCH VERSION

After DAYS of long searching this is a HUGE help. THE BEST ONE, and the easiest one. Ever. But IN CASE, I got a message while extracting. It says "extract denied". What I did was extract everything to the desktop and copied the sound folder into data.

This guy is awesome, I can't like this video enough times.

CHEAT VERSION

You speak to him, and after you're done he would not open the door. After you use the cheat to open the door, you must first sleep on his bed for at least 9 hours 24 would be the best, and then spam talk him (keep pressing 'E' while facing him) then he will talk a little by little. Just keep doing that and he would finally open the door, but it wouldn't fix it. It would just force the game to go on. setstage m1202 160

CHEAT IS HERE: setstage m1202 160

If you don't use cheats this is how you do it:

you press this button ` and a console command box will come out and you type the cheat there. Copy and paste will not work.

There are few more bugs but this one is the worst, the other bugs shouldn't be much of a problem if you google it.

ALSO
Most people may not have noticed it. It took me a long time to figure it out:
HOW TO UNLOCK SHOUTS.
Normally when you go to the shout wall you get the shout but it requires dragon souls to unlock it. After a dragon is killed and soul is absorbed, I still couldn't figure out why the shout isn't unlocked. Then I saw the little instruction on the bottom left corner of the screen: [R] Unlock.
