Never played an elder scrolls game...few questions...

[kasparov5]

1. Is this game similar to fallout 3? I loved that game.

 

2. Since I never played an elder scrolls game, can you give me the basics to the story and gameplay briefly?

 

3. Is there a main quest in this game or is it just do what you want?

 

Thanks for answering!

1/ It is and it isn't. The general style is similar in terms of quests, hub cities, open world gameplay. It has a different feel in my opinion, but I loved Fallout 3 too, and I love Skyrim.

 

2/ There's no need to go over story, since Skyrim is its own story entirely. There's links and hints to the other Elder Scrolls game but you could easily go in without any prior knowledge and not be lost.

 

3/ There's a main quest, but you can do what you want around it and continue to do so when the main quest is done. I've played about...6 hours or so of Skyrim and done a single main story quest.

1. Leveling system is different but their not unalike, FO3 was called Oblivion with guns by some people.

 

2. You can find the background history to the Elder Scrolls universe on sites like this and this. You don't need to though as the story is stand alone.

 

3 Yes there is and yes you can.
