I first heard about the game in late 2011, the time leading up to its release. I wasn't actually interested in the game at all, and thought it was probably an MMO or something like that. Man, was I wrong! Well, I heard a lot about the assorted glitches Skyrim has (Giraffe Nord neck anybody?) and thought they were hillariously funny to look at. I still did not bother with the game until I heard a bunch of my friends obsessing over the game in February 2012, talking on and on about Conjuration, One-handed, and Heavy Armor, along with mentioning A quest about a dog in a cave, and the rewards for saving or killing the dog. I asked about the game, and what it was, and they explained that Skyrim was a massive RPG game with lots of quests and things to do. The, it was October, and my dad was looking for new games for the PS3. We went to a game store, and looked around. I skimmed the shelves for any games of potential interest, and stumbled upon Skyrim. I remembered everything I heard about the game, and we got the game. It was the first thing we played after we got back, and my brother and I were fascinated with it. My first play-through was an Argonian with specializations in One-handed, namely Maces, Heavy Armor, and conjuration. Deja vu, my friends were talking about the same classes. It took a lot of persuasion, but finally, my dad played Skyrim. He was even MORE addicted to the game than me, and he pioneered the way through every problem with his Daedric bow. When the DLCs came out, we go them within hours of release. Then, because my dad felt like it, we bought the game for PC, and he actually bought a 250 dollar video card JUST for the game!
