Skyrim’s shouts are therapy in RPG form

Rivers of digital ink have been spilled to praise, comment on, and (more rarely) denigrate The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, so I won’t spend too much time stating the obvious. Skyrim is an ambitious, seminal game that took everything great about The Elder Scrolls and said: more, and better. The open-world role-playing game experience that Bethesda Game Studios pioneered with Arena and Daggerfall and then refined with Morrowind and Oblivion comes to full bloom in Skyrim. Yes, there are a lot of bugs too, but they are a small price to pay for the experience.
