SynopsisThe long-awaited and much-anticipated next installment of the award-winning The Elder Scrolls franchise is here. Now, the expansive, open world that forever revolutionized the face of the fantasy epic leads you deeper into the combat, the magic and the myth than you've ever been before. This time, you don't just play as a character, you truly become whomever it is you wish to be — and have the freedom to do anything you can possibly imagine. This follow-up to the 2006 Game of the Year, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, offers stunning graphics and a gripping storyline that immerses you in the game from the moment you turn it on. With the information in this guide, you'll be able to unroll the Scroll and let the journey begin. Prima Games' official strategy guide to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim delivers 592 pages of information that you need to save Skyrim from destruction and battle the massive dragon god Alduin. Carefully choose the character you wish to become, using key information about every weapon, spell, perk and ability as your guide as you make your selections, then master the skills needed to battle dragons, forge the best weapons and finish off foes. Delve into adventure prepared to make additional important choices ahead, consulting the guide's comprehensive walkthroughs of each story and side quest that could affect your fate. And wherever your decisions take you, you'll go with confidence, thanks to 130 fully labeled maps that cover the five major cities, wilderness, mountains and beyond. This powerful strategy guide is one Scroll you won't want to be caught without.

What's great about it: Easy to use, a lot of detail, very helpful
What's not so great: It's huge (but it needs to be for Skyrim)
Skyrim is such an intense and complex game that after having it for a couple weeks, I knew that I was in over my head with some things. I kept managing to kill the wrong people or miss crucial items in various missions/quests. This is great for helping you stay on whichever right track you choose.

What's great about it: Extensive
What's not so great: No Flow
I've bought many game guides before. I followed the Oblivion strategy guide all the way. Even picked up the Shivering Isles one. So I picked up this one along with Skyrim so I wouldn't miss out on the tips and tricks as I progressed though the game. However I just couldn't get into the guide given the organization of it. It is possible that the issue lies in the open world possibilities of the game, you don't have to follow a set path, so you can go off gallivanting and come back to the quest line later on. I bought it when I bought the game, I've put around 80 hours into the game so far and only looked at the guide about two or three times. Just didn't find it as useful as other guides I have had.

What's great about it: well written descriptions
What's not so great: super small print
A guide often tells where important items are found; things a player doesn't see by simply playing the game or moving from place to place. Descriptions of the areas the player visits are often helpful pointing out treasures, weapons, etc, which make the game more interesting to play.

What's great about it: I wouldn't lay Skyrim without it.
Saves a lot of time trying to find thigs. Skyrim is a huge game and you could spend hours just trying to solve a quest.
