review 1: An essential guide for the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. I normally avoid game guides, but Skyrim is such a massive game, some sort of reference is needed in order to unlock some parts of the game that are not immediately apparent. It also provides you with an accessible guide to character creation and potion / enchantment making. Its most useful feature, however, is the detailed atlas and dungeon guide which allows you to quickly cross-reference locations discovered in the game.
review 2: Let it not be said that I did not read a single book this week! What can I say? I am halfway through several other books that just aren't doing it for me, I got a shiny new copy of this from work (thank you loser degenerates who stole the other copies, thus forcing us to buy mo... morere - stealing from the library, get a life!), and I've had a real hankering to play this again. So I read this. Or at least most of it, because it's really thick with things that are kind of silly; there are pages & pages of descriptions of the interiors of various caves & dungeons - I skipped most of that. Turns out there are tons of side missions & quests that I never discovered despite ages of game play. There are a few editing errors & a few game errors (draugrs don't have souls? Since when?), but nothing too egregious for a video game guide. Isn't it sort of sad to think that I'll most likely never complete this game? since Bethesda released it with such serious memory issues? & the four characters I've managed to get to level 50 have become so choppy and hard to look at, let alone play, that they're not even worth it? If, you know, that sort of thing makes you sad. less
