Skyrim: 5 Ways It Impressed

2. The Art

This also goes without saying: the look of Skyrim (the place, not the game) was perfect. From the lush green hills of Falkreath to the snow capped mountains of Eastmarch to the plains of Whietrun. Not many other games boast as much variety in a single map as Skyrim. The game, not the map. The consistency between places was also great. Each city had it's own architecture, yet each all felt like part of one big map. Really great stuff. Also, if you have the PC version, download the "Sexy cities" series of mods. It adds 2K textures and some much needed colour. And who didn't love the night sky? So spectacular.
