9 Reasons Skyrim Is Still One Of The Best Video Games Of All Time

8. The Sheer Amount Of Customisation Is Unmatched

Want to be a mage? How about a dual axe-wielding orc? Perhaps a blacksmith who specialises in dodging, before breaking down and reforging loot for the best weapons and items in the land?

There are literally millions of potential combinations for weapons, apparel (which itself is split into head, chest, arms and feet), spells and Shouts - all contributing to a feeling that you are cutting a path through this world, rather than walking the one the developers lay down.

Warriors, thieves, archers, dual-casters, blacksmiths, potion-crafters, food specialists, animal-skinners, shield n' sword combos and whopping great axe-carriers. You can be all of these and more, whenever you like.

It's staggering, but in all the right ways.
