Skyrim has a semi decent story but honestly for the es games it's the side quests that make up the story more than the main quests. Go out and get immersed in the world, be it morrowind, oblivion or skyrim. Yes, the Main Quest is good.

Just so, which Elder Scrolls game has the best story?

Morrowind had the epic story, the unique local, and very interesting characters (even if they only "spoke" through text). Oblivion was very traditional fantasy, but pulled it off well. Skyrim draws upon the best of both those games.

Subsequently, question is, what's so great about Skyrim? Skyrim is good because it lets you do just about anything. You can't make spells or fly in it. Skyrim is certainly a lot prettier but it lacks in everything else, from its quests to It's RPG mechanics like skills and attributes.

Moreover, what is Skyrim based on?

Skyrim is not a game based in History (which is a shame), but each of The Elders Scrolls games has been heavily influenced by weapons and locations from the middle ages. Skyrim takes most of its inspiration from medieval Northern Europe. There's a real 'Viking-y' feel to the whole thing.

Is Skyrim 3rd person?

It is playable in third person for the most part. I also enjoy the third person mode and happy to say 90% of the game can be played that way with no disadvantages. Fighting in particular is fun in third person, and can be easier to do that way, if you want to see where you're going when trying to place power attacks.
