The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is the fifth main installment in the Elder Scrolls series, following 2006's The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. The game's main story revolves around the player's character, the Dragonborn, on their quest to defeat Alduin the World-Eater, a dragon who is prophesied to destroy the world. The game is set 200 years after the events of Oblivion and takes place in Skyrim, the northernmost province of Tamriel. Over the course of the game, the player completes quests and develops the character by improving skills. The game continues the open-world tradition of its predecessors by allowing the player to travel anywhere in the game world at any time, and to ignore or postpone the main storyline indefinitely.

-'''''Random crashes''''' from entering certain places or playing too long. After I played for around 20 to 60minutes the game would sometimes crash and other times it would be fine. The biggest issue is the random crashes after entering certain places. The ones I've found are House Gray-Mane, Temple of Kynareth, War Maiden's , New Gnisis Cornerclub, and the last portion of Bleak Falls Barrow. The first 3 are in Whiterun, the 4th in Windhelm, and the 5th is a part of the main storyline. If I entered any of these places the game crashed in less than one minute. The only way to get past was to save every 10 seconds and load back in if it crashed. Other than that the game is very much playable if you just really wanted to play it considering it's not mandatory to go to 4 out of the 5 places I mentioned, but it should remain in the ingame category.
