What is an RPG in gaming, and can you explain the new game Skyrim to me?

Does it stand for role playing game?



And what is it about this game Skyrim? Can one of you explain it to me with a little depth or detail? The mythology it's dealing with (the preview looked like Nordic Mythology or something). Is it like that or what is the plot? I've never played a game like that or the Oblivion one somebody told said in a question that Skyrim is the sequel to. So i'm lost, but considering renting or buying it.



Is it a multiplayer game, or a campaign or what?

It's not like those World of Warcraft games is it?

How big is it, or how long will it replay?

Is the story good, and what is it about?

How is the actual game play?

It's the 5th installment of The Elder Scrolls. It's probably the best RPG game ever created. It's basically Dungeons %26amp; DragonsWhat is an RPG in gaming, and can you explain the new game Skyrim to me?
Yes, it does stand for role playing game. Skyrim is the fifth installment of the Elder Scrolls series of role playing games. The best way to find out about the game itself is to go to this website: www.elderscolls.com. It isn't based on Norse Mythology. It is a Role Playing Game that can be played in first or third person. It is a single player campaign style game in which you follow a main quest line through the game, though there are plenty of side quests to go through. It is more in depth than WOW and I believe is by far better. The story is extremely thought out and extended over five games, although each game in the Elder Scrolls series has its own unique specific storyline. If it is anything like Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, there is at least 200 hours or more of game play. The game play is great. The graphics are amazing, and the world is massive. I think you might like the game. I hope this is helpful.
