The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is a video game made for 2 consoles system as well as computers. It's a game known to be one of the best of its series and overall being a fantastic game. It targets those people who enjoy a good adventure and lots of action involve. It's a big sandbox practically but the setting and everything else is set for you, you just have to choose what path you take and how you do it doesn't really matter. This game is filled with so much from mythical creatures to legends. The game itself is friendly, with positive and negative attitudes. It's all positive but you just to be the hero or villain and it effects the game play with every choice done.
The game has many beliefs due to the characters and mythical creatures it has. It has priest that may go against those who a pose and are religious because of what the priest do in the game and so on. It's mix with a whole lot of stuff in this game that make it a good game. The value of this game can be a lot as the person makes it valuale to themselfs. I can say for sure this is a addicting game for those who would enjoy it because there is just a whole lot of stuff to do in the game that they make it a priority to accomplish everything in it, but I can say this now that they will take more than one hundred hours to get close to finishing the game and the downloadable content doesn't count because it just adds more to the game.
I can say for sure that it doesn't challenge are beliefs and values today because the game itself takes back to an era of dragons, witches, kings and queens, etc. We don't have that today and some are just fantasy dreams. The only thing I will say is the way we live today compared to the people in the game. It's the same just more advance in structure and what we use to build homes and how we live.
Skyrim doesn't promote negative behavior for sure because the game is friendly and rated M for mature which distinguish one of many traits a person can have. Sure, you can kill innocent people but it doesn't affect the person who they are because in the game you use weapons that may not even exist today and there is a penalty for killing today. No escape or returning back to the way things were. A kind sentence to jail that's for sure. On the other side, it does promote positive behavior because you can be the righteous person or how in the game it would be describe as a warrior, thief, and mage. You can choose one to be your main ability or all three with the recent update that was made through the game.
As I'm waiting for a texture pack for Skyrim to download, I will try to help you add ideas to write about. About the beliefs and impacts on behavior I'd say they do apply to today, and it would benefit you to connect them (more words to fill quota). Although the beliefs are different they still connect such as a belief in a religion Talos=Islam. Those who believe is Talos (Islam for today) are terrorists and we'll occupy their land until they stop being terrorists.
ReplyDeleteTo connect the "we don't have the same weapons" Sure we do (remember more words are better) instead of swords we have knives and machetes, instead of cross bows we have guns. The Dark Brotherhood pays you to murder innocent people, you kill their version of the President. You climb to the top of power by doing so, running the guild. They promote stealing (it's so much easier to steal all of the good stuff rather than earn it). Hope this helps.
