As an RPG fantasy game, The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim allows the player to choose multiple different ways to play with a variety of races, class systems, and skill trees. This means that the protagonist of the game can take out their enemies with some powerful melee weapons, magical abilities, or by sniping them in the dark like the ever-popular stealth archer. The skill rewards for taking out enemies using these playstyles are integral to the game, and allow the player to stick to a specific type of character they build throughout the story.
