Bethesda is Bethesda, bro, be it Fallout or Elder Scrolls. They're all amazing.
Once you're done with Skyrim (5 years from now), you should give Oblivion a try. It's older, and that age shows, but it's a damn fine game. The world is more varied than Skyrim, too.
Trying hard not to finish but I'm maxed on skills with few missions left other than the main story (Blades) and the war.
Thieves Guild Master, Archmage of the College of Winterhold, Thane of 3 Holds. Been a really fun ride leveling up and learning the game.
Didn't go for the final Companions, because first play through. Staying a human.
To finish being the head of the Dark Brotherhood will affect the outcome of being in the Imperial side of the war.
But that is just an oversight, I've gone so far without joining yet, might as well complete Dark Brotherhood's finale = the big one.
I have crappy photos but one thing I noticed is that Illia from Darklight Tower as a companion, the expert mage,
will lose her robe and run around in bikini if you provide her with the execution hood. Good times L0L.
Note: dismiss her and unlike other companions it's pretty much goodbye. I read she can be recruited into the Blades though....
Yep my first play through is as an Imperial girl, and she is is worth about 500K right now.
She loves to run around in her underwear as well, getting all kinds of funny comments.
