Official Elder Scrolls V - Skyrim Video ( Youtube )

By Tom Francis pcgamer.com You’re nobody – a prisoner rotting in a cell for some unnamed crime. That’s true at the start of every main Elder Scrolls game. But this time it’s a cell in Skyrim, the freezing Nordic nation between Oblivion’s sunny Cyrodiil and the weird Dark Elf land of Morrowind. You’re released. Why, we don’t know yet.
