Compare And Contrast The Elder Scrolls Vs Skyrim

I have chosen to compare two video games, the two video games I have selected are Fallout 4 and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, also known as just Skyrim is a first-person roleplay game that is, based in a medieval fantasy world, with dragons, orcs, dwarves, elves, trolls, wizards, and many more. The games’ back story is; you are but a mere peasant that winds up at the wrong place at the wrong time. You are arrested and accused of being allied with the storm cloaks by the Imperials. Next you are taken to Helgen Keep where you will be executed. When you’re at the chopping block and about to be murdered when a dragon attacks the keep. You rush to the nearest tower to make your escape, in the process you are faced with
a decision to follow an imperial or a Storm Cloak, as you follow whoever you may choose, you escape to the town of Riverwood, where you are set off on an epic journey to kill the Dragon king Alduin and Save Skyrim.
Skyrim is made by the game development company Bethesda.
It runs on the Creation Engine which was made by Bethesda, and was based on the Gamebyro Engine. It has a trading System where you can find treasure and sell them to local vendors, blacksmiths, or mages. It has a unique leveling system where you can put points into things such as Two Handed Weapons, One handed Weapons, Shields, Heavy Armor, Light Armor, Etc. You can pickpocket people and open doors and crates with lock picks. It has a Quest System where you can choose which quests show up on your map, some are time sensitive. And finally, you use melee weapons such as Swords, Axes, Maces, War Hammers, Clubs or you can use Magic such as Fire, Ice, Restoration, Luminescence, and
