Never played any of the previous elder scrolls, never even wanted to do so. A friend of mine talked my ear off for months leading up to the release. I never really paid any attention, only snickered at his child-like attitude toward this "epic" game that seemed to rear it's head in every conversion we had. Then while browsing the Internet with the iPad one faithful morning my 11 month old son tried to take it from me like most babies do. Apparently clicking on a link to none other than skyrim itself. After realizing the game was on ps3 (was under the impression it was strictly pc) I decided to read up on it. A longer story short here I am today trying to balance my time between a wife and two kids and my obsession with this "epic" game.
