NPCs (non-playing characters) are largely interactive and players can choose to befriend, romance and marry, fight with and even kill them. Whichever way you choose to play, the game is highly deserving of many hours’ attention as you explore, quest and battle your way through the intensely detailed land. You can, if you want to, race to complete the story arc to ensure that all the areas are unlocked, and then go back and do some explorations. While the storyline can be ignored until the player is ready to continue along that path, some quests do rely on the story having progressed a certain amount, so players might need to dip in and out of narrative play if they want to solve quests in a certain order. Players can fast travel to cover large distances quickly, or they can ride horses to explore regions fairly quickly but in detail. The player can play from a first-person or third-person perspective, exploring the richly detailed world which includes wilderness areas, towns and cities – both large and small, fortresses and small rural villages. There is no urgency to complete the main story arc, so players can explore the whole map and focus on character building before returning to pick up the threads of the storyline and work to defeat Alduin. The player must work to increase his or her characters strengths and abilities, while working their way across the map.

The action takes place in the world of Skyrim, specifically in the northernmost province of Tamriel.
