Name: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Release date: November 11, 2011
Platforms: PC, PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360
Publisher: Bethesda Softworks
Developer: Bethesda Softworks
Skyrim is the fifth game in the Elder scrolls series, and follows the adventures of the player who discovers he/she was born with the soul of a dragon. The dragonborn, or Dovahkiin (as it is said in the language of dragons) must face a series of challenges and do everything in their power to prevent the return of the dragon Alduin. Dragons may be killed (MUST, it actually gets annoying fast) in order to gain their powers. It's not without its flaws, but it's still one of the best games ever made.
If you weren't fond of the previous games in the series (What's wrong with you) you might still like Skyrim. It improves upon Oblivion dramatically, perhaps most noticeably in the appearance of characters.
e.g.
Argonians:
->
Faggot cats (Khahits):
->
Mods can remedy effectively any problem, including the game lacking your disgusting fetishes. (If it can make you vomit, you can find it on The Skyrim Nexus (Not to discount the existence of good mods.)) Later this month (January) Bethesda will be releasing their mod tools for the game in the form of the creation kit. Paired with Steam Workshop users will be able to download content without having to venture out into the Nexus. But for the time being, please consult below for a list of my recommended mods.

Protips/Exploits:
Quick leveling smithing and making easy gold:
Smithing can be raised quite easily by making many of the same low-level item. An iron dagger gives as much experience as a dwarven dagger or a daedric one. Travel around, buy up all the iron and leather strips and make them into daggers. Save the daggers. Enchant all of the daggers with whatever enchantment you have that is worth the most. You'll make absurd amounts of gold.
Alchemy and enchanting can be paired in a loop of sorts to create ridiculous potions/enchantments:
1. Create a fortify enchanting potion.
2. Drink the potion and enchant a full set of clothing with a fortify alchemy.
3. Put on the clothing and return to step 1.
4. Repeat until you've got your desired level of power.
Preventing damage from arrows:
Objects can be used to deflect incoming arrows. Bodies work well.
Easy Sneaking/Theft:
You can't be caught if they can't see you - put a bucket or cauldron over a viewers head.
Untested Theory Of How To Make Money Quickly (Crime Pays):
1. Be married.
2. Make sure your spouse has a store and gives you the 100 gold a day.
3. Commit mass murder.
4. Go to jail.
5. Collect 200 Dollars.
More to be added as is needed. Got anything you want to see in the OP? Make a post! I'll add it if it isn't buIlshit!
