Elder Scrolls Comparison
Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was developed by Bethesda Game Studios and first released on November 11th, 2011. Skyrim is the fifth game of the main series in Elder Scrolls Series, occurring about 200 years after the previous game, Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
The main series Elder Scrolls games have all been open-world single player fantasy rpgs (role playing games). They are essentially a digital version of Dungeons and Dragons that someone can play on their own.

The player character, known as the Dovahkiin (or the Dragonborn in English), goes on a quest to defeat the dragon Alduin, the god of destruction, as he tries to take over the world, using necromancy to resurrect his long dead army of dragons. Alduin used to rule Skyrim long before the story, but he and his army were defeated by the ancient dragonborns (there used to be more of them). Unfortunately, Alduin himself was not killed, only sent far into the future by an Elder Scroll (powerful items that happen to be archives of past, present, and future events). During his or her quests, the player has run-ins with wizards, witches, draugr (Norse zombies), and several kinds of Daedra (the Elder Scrolls series’ version of demons). However, everything that the Dovahkiin does depends on the player and the choices that they make while playing the

    The Matrix and Exodus share some familiarity that can be recognized by anyone. With similar themes and plot they can be closely related. However, both go about their situation very differently from each other. The literal parallels between Exodus and The Matrix both share a story centered on a man who is called upon to set his people free from slavery to salvation. In Exodus, Moses is assigned by God from the talking burning bush that he must rescue the Hebrews from Pharaoh and lead them to Mount Sinai. While in The Matrix, Neo is brought out of The Matrix to the real world, Zion, and many believe him to be “The One.” Neo denies the claim, but later in the end of the film discovers his true role and destiny as the prophesied savior of humanity.…

    Feelings of foreboding flooded his senses as the hair on the back of his neck stood out. Someone had listened to his conversation, and was residing in the shadows of his room. How had he not sensed this before? “Whoever is here, step forward. Do so quickly or face my wrath.” A tall, muscular man stepped forward. A knight, he surmised, wearing jade colored armor with a coat of arms on his chest plate that he did not recognize, figures of two fighting dragons adorned his gauntlets, and in his hands, he threateningly…

    The difference between life and death can be listening to the opinions of friends and family. This is portrayed in Into the Wild, written by Jon Krakauer and Grizzly Man, directed by Werner Herzog. In Walden, written by Henry David Thoreau, he did not die but his time spent at Walden was time wasted.

However, in other situations, the opposite can occur where it is vital to make your own decisions for yourself.…
