Why It Rocks

1. There's an incredible amount of content in this game, going from point A to point B would still leave the vast majority of the game unfinished
2. Vast open world, filled with detail, once the tutorial is completed, the player can go anywhere in the world
3. Richly detailed story that details the Dragonborn's journey to defeat Alduin
4. The DLC is excellent and adds 2 new self-contained stories, one covering Miraak (the original Dragonborn) trying to become the new dragonborn
5. FUS RO DAH
6. TBA.

Bad Qualities

1. The graphics and AI have aged very poorly compared to other games released around the same time such as Modern Warfare 3 which released the same year and has graphically aged much better
2. If you start the Dragonborn DLC occasionally Miraak can steal the souls of the dragons you kill which gets annoying real quick
3. The game has had multiple special editions released, with no new additional content, this was understandable for the special edition on PS4 and Xbox One which were not backwards compatible but not for the Anniversary Edition which presented no new content or changes
