There are plenty of video game worlds that we wouldn't mind living in; Skyrim might win the award outright though. The sheer size of the world is daunting but there's also a good mix of various ecosystems and locations which make areas unique and memorable. There's plenty of glorious sights to behold in Skyrim; even the harsh, unwelcoming snow plains to the north seem worthy of adventuring through. When a game features a world as good as Skyrim, quests and storylines become that bit less important; the player can make their own fun. Still, Skyrim gives you plenty to do too. There's hundreds and hundreds of quests to complete and simply discovering them is a task in itself. Some are hidden away in the game's countless number of dungeons; some can only be found by conversing with villagers or stumbling upon randomly appearing scenarios. In keeping with the Elder Scrolls name, there's a ton of content in Skyrim and the vast majority of it, surprisingly, is engaging and exciting; it's a real testament to the work put in by the development staff that people are still exploring the game's world. When a game is as big as Skyrim though, repeat plays can be incredibly daunting. To be fair, that's a common problem with role-playing games (especially those that require hundreds of hours of investment) but Skyrim is a great example. The main story can be finished fairly quickly but then, there's so much else to do that abandoning your character and starting over seems like a waste of time. Even then though, is Skyrim a game that can ever be completed? Perhaps the reason you only need one runthrough of this game is because you'll never quite be done with it... that's something to keep you awake at night, anyway.
