Abstract: The star of the latest Elder Scrolls role-playing game is its world. Skyrim, the northernmost province of Tamriel, a continent that fans of the Bethesda Softworks series have been exploring piecemeal in games dating back 17 years, is a hauntingly beaut...
Abstract: There are many reasons to like The Witcher 3; and all the other games like Witcher 3 too for that matter. The nuanced characters and writing, the expansive lore, the awesome monsters, or simply great card games such as Gwent. And that's to say nothing of...

Abstract: DOVAKHIIN! Dragonborn! The word vibrates through you, the thrum of power palpable. Deep inside you know this to be you, your true essence. Will you heed the call and save the world from the return of dragons? Or will you get married and open a shop with y...
