Attributes regenerate over time and can be refilled faster by drinking potions or casting regenerative spells. A status bar for each attribute appears onscreen when the attribute falls below its maximum value. Characters have three primary attributes: health is how much damage the character can take before dying, magicka is depleted to cast spells, and stamina allows the character to perform heavy "power attacks" or run. The player then chooses the character's appearance an in-game mechanic allows for changing the appearance later.
Īt the beginning of the game, players select their character's sex and race, with 10 choices for the latter including races of humans and fantasy races such as elves and orcs. Players may navigate the game world more quickly by riding horses, paying for a ride from a city's stable, or utilizing a fast-travel system that allows them to move their character immediately to a previously discovered location. Each city and town in the game world has jobs such as farming for the player to engage in. The player may freely roam over the land of Skyrim, an open world environment consisting of wilderness expanses, dungeons, caves, cities, towns, fortresses, and villages. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is an action role-playing game, playable from either a first or third-person perspective.
