The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim (2011)

My beloved, from the age of 10 I have spiralled into the beautiful world of The Elder Scrolls, thousands of hours put in. Every play style, mods, glitches, bugs, builds. I’ve done it all. It’s safe to say this is my comfort game. Now as a grown as man I find it nostalgic yet the wow factor is still there. I know the game is a meme at this rate but my god has this beautiful game inspired everything RPG. Skyrim has a very special place in my heart and will hold it forever. One day I can’t wait to see my Kids play it

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, where do I even start. This game is beautiful and a master piece. I haven't enjoyed any game as much as i have than one right here. I recommend this game to anyone who plays video game and even those of you who don't. While I will admit there is some flaws with there being a lot of the same voice actors and bugs and some minor story flaws but every one of those get overlooked when your traveling through the world exploring dungeons, robbing houses, assassinating targets, fighting dragons, collecting god artifacts and building your house. I cant stress enough how good this game is. And the replay ability is amazing with all the different races and builds and factions. Don't even get me started on all the stuff you find along your journeys cause still till this day i find something new each playthrough. i give it a high 9

I'm one of the suckers that has played Skyrim across different releases and consoles and it really never gets old. I love Oblivion too and the games are so different, displaying how great the Elder Scrolls series is. I've sunk a ton of time into Skyrim and I can remember back to high school when this released and dozens of kids being "sick" that day.

Deciding when you are done playing Skyrim is largely academic. I had beaten the main story quests in the base game and in the DLC. I had joined the guilds and become the head of all the ones I cared to run. I got married, adopted some kids, and bought several houses, which I filled with the detritus of all my quests. I could have played so much longer and over the years I have. This game has been background noise in my gaming life since it was first released and I love it too much to be a trustworthy person to take a recommendation from concerning it. This time I quit playing because Mjoll got crushed by a trap after running into my hammer swings and I just didn’t have the heart to fight one more freaking Falmer without her. Next time, I might play for the couple hundred hours needed to say I’ve totally beaten the game but I probably won’t. I’ll probably just buy some houses, fill them with my treasures, and play until the game annoys me enough to put it away again for a few months. Todd knows I’ll buy the anniversary edition so I’ll be back.

I poured my heart into this game and played it nonstop for what seemed to be just under a year. Hell I dont think I put a different game in my xbox for most of 2012 that I spent playing it. It essentially was the game that got me HUGE into gaming and started my love for other rpg games like it, as opposed to just playing shooters before.

If there is one game that I have spent the most time playing in my life of being a gamer, it is this game. I spent hundreds of hours exploring, upgrading, selling items, and doing interesting quests. I played this game soo much that im just about completely wiped out of this game. I don't think I could play it again. But I trully loved this game and it did soo many great things. I remember when I first got my hands on it, I had to sell most of my games at gamestop soo I could have the 60 dollars to buy it, by the time we got home my mom said it was time for bed and that I could not play until the next day after school. Soo I had to be careful. I turned down the tv real low and was greeted to one of the most amazing games i've played. Also the game that i've been the most hyped to play, because I had played the previous game oblivion and that was just as nearly good as this one. Theres nothing more that I could say about this game that everyone else hasnt already said. Soo just go play it.
