See MoreĬombat is too simple Fights within the game don't have very many options. There are no limits on how you play through the plot, with Skyrim giving you the flexibility to pick up stories, set them down, and come back to them whenever you feel like it. And if you only get through some of the faction's story and decide you don't enjoy it, you can easily go find another one and play through that one instead. Playing through each of their individual stories lets you really feel like a member of the faction you choose, like with how the Thieves Guild sends you on missions to pick locks and steal valuables without getting caught by the guards.
After picking whichever faction you want to learn more about, you can eventually become a Master of the guild and learn new skills for your character. There are a good number of these factions, like the scholars at the snowy College of Winterhold, the secretive assassins of the Dark Brotherhood, or the cohort of rogues and bandits of the Thieves Guild. Total freedom in how you choose to play through the world's different factions You can set off to any of Skyrim's different towns and discover new storylines from interesting factions that flesh out the world and the lore, with great characters and their own absorbing narratives to get lost in.
