Hani Farah, of GIGAlb, "11/11/11. A date gamers worldwide memorized by heart and longed for. It is the date that the fifth The Elder Scrolls game was released, subtitled Skyrim and appropriately so. You start of as a prisoner in the game and it is here where you are prompted to create your character. You can pick between 10 races ranging from 3 variations of Elf to Orcs to Nords (the human counterpart in the game). It is here where I started getting impressed; the character customization is immense giving you hundreds if not thousands of different combinations to pick and choose from. I chose the dark elf race since I wanted a more magic-centered character and it is here where the journey began."
