[quote]I've been looking to buy a new game.[/quote] I see. [quote]Skyrim is pretty popular. What's so good about it.[/quote] Everything. [quote]Persuade me.[/quote] It features literally infinite hours of content, branching story lines, great gameplay and meaty combat, and it has dragons. Plus you can send people flying off cliffs by yelling at them. Just make sure not to be silly like me and buy it on console, the PC version is much better due to console commands and mods. [quote] I saw reviews(which rated the game very high) and gameplay. [/quote] Pretty glorious, wouldn't you say? [quote]The combat looks very boring/bland and slow in the game. Is this true?[/quote] What? No! It's not slow! Nothing's slow about someone charging you with a sword, shooting arrows and lighting at you, or dragons breathing fire into your face. [quote]Persuade me to get the game. Give me a reason why I should.[/quote] Well aren't you special? It is literally one of my favorite games, if not my favorite game, and I've played some amazing games. The story, environment, and characters are all interesting (except the children, get the child killing mod, you'll thank me later). The combat is tense, fun, and rewarding. The powers and progress you gain are satisfying. If you can get it on PC, the PC console commands are hilarious and the PC modding community it still going strong.
