The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim - The nonlinear gameplay traditional in The Elder Scrolls series is incorporated in Skyrim. The player can explore the open world of Skyrim on foot or on horse, and fast-travel to cities,
towns, and dungeons after they have been discovered. Quests are given
to the player by non-player characters (NPCs) in the world, and through
the Radiant Story system, the quests can be dynamically altered to
accommodate for player actions
which may influence the quests, characters, and objectives. The Radiant
Story then further directs the player's interaction with the world by
setting unexplored dungeons as quest locations. When not completing
quests, the player can interact with NPCs through conversation, and they
may request favors or offer the player training in skills. In addition
to scripted quests certain ones will be dynamically generated, providing
a limitless number to the player. Some NPCs can become companions to
the player to aid in combat. The player may choose to join factions,
which are organized groups of NPCs such as the Dark Brotherhood, a band
of assassins. Each of the factions has a headquarters, and they have
their own quest paths which the player can progress through. The economy of cities
and towns can be stimulated by completing jobs such as farming and
mining, or spending large amounts of gold in the stores. Alternatively,
the economy may be harmed by forging business ledgers and robbing the
safes of stores. Additionally, the player's actions or statements often
have an impact on their interactions with NPCs – such as taking sides in
the Civil War or fighting dragons. When exploring the game world, the
player may encounter wildlife. Many creatures in the wilderness are
immediately hostile towards the player. The inclusion of Dragons in Skyrim affords a major influence on both story and gameplay.
