Scaling mountains, slaying dragons, and mowing down hordes of bad guys are some of the things that come to mind.

When you have the best gaming laptop for a rig, then you can enjoy those adventures even more. It can even make you feel like you’re actually in that world with immersion and gameplay. Here are some of the best video game worlds out there:

Nirn is the world of the Elder Scrolls. This where the events of Daggerfall, Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, and Tamriel Online all happened. That alone makes this fantasy world one of the best in terms of the size and the lore. The continent of Tamriel is where most of the series’ story takes place. From the rise of the Septim Empire to the Return of the Dragonborn. Explore the world of Nirn with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and The Elder Scrolls: Tamriel Online.

Pandora is a world that isn’t for the weak of heart and Borderlands is action packed. The moment you’re introduced to the Legend of the Vault and the Vault Hunters, you’ll find out a way. A harsh planet filled with mercenaries and guns beyond counting, the people here are clearly desensitized by the constant violence. Now, why would this be awesome? The guns. As a Vault Hunter, you’re going to need the hardware, and the game gives you guns of different stats and abilities.

Thedas (Dragon Age)
