El primer juego que de verdad me gocé como un cabron, estuve el verano entero jugandolo todos los dias casi sin parar y la verdad que me marcó por su inmersión y su musica. Las misiones secundarias(aunque los npc son tipicos npc de Bethesda sin vida) son de lo mejor del juego, hay de todo pero la mayoría la verdad que bastante guapas. Aun así aún me quedan muchas cosas por hacer y los DLC que cuando los jugué no los tenía xd, algún día tendré que rejugarmelo enserio para acabar lo que empecé

This game has created a generation of redditors who post dead bodies, killed in horrible ways, displayed in awkward positions, and theft like it was the happiest day of their lives.

This game has created a generation of redditors who post dead bodies, killed in horrible ways, displayed in awkward positions, and theft like it was the happiest day of their lives.

It also placed a disturbing unhealthy self-importance by players (because theyre the dragoborn) and desire for violence, against NPCs who treat them as strangers and not some kind of royalty.

Then there are mods. A different kind of monster.

I can't explain it but this game shows how desentisized players are when they're heroes or given powers.

Have you ever watched 'The Boys'?

My gf started playing Skyrim again tonight, and we discovered one of the days of the week was Turdas, and then we laughed for about 15 minutes straight because we are, in fact, 12 years old.

it's a nice experience to play skyrim in early 2013 and the mod makes it look even better.

PS4 -

  • TBD/Planned: Just need to find a nice copy of the game for cheap or wait for it to be on sale via PSN, although I dislike buying digital content from Sony due to their lack of interest for preservation/backwards compatibility, which severely hampers the customer experience of "owning" digital content (a modern misnomer)

PS5 -

  • TBD/Planned: All Trophies in 20XX whenever I feel like procuring a PS5, which will probably be 5-10 years from now.

I guess you could enjoy it if you could somehow play it muted, blindfolds on: lots of character customisation & roleplaying material, thrown into a lifeless world full of immersion breaking animations, bugs, soul sucking voice acting and tragically lame fighting system (apparently I'm the only one who feels this way). I spent probably more than 10 hours in this …

I spent probably more than 10 hours in this game and all I remember is headaches.

If Skyrim isn't the best game ever made, then why do I keep buying it? Why have I returned every year or two for a decade when I don't tend to replay games? Why am I having fun yet again?

There are a lot of theoretical reasons that Skyrim isn't the best game. but empirically, the evidence is overwhelming.

Also, you can like click a button and have 500+ mods installed now, which is mind blowing. We are truly living in the future, and that future is Skyrim (Future Edition).

Very close to the ending now and yes i had fun but the game drags and drags, endless speeches, i dont care about. Comparing to Morrowind its a bad game, comparing to other role-playing-games its decent.

I got this today on its VR version. I have never played an Elder Scroll game before, but this one looks like an unforgettable VR experience.

I finally earnt the last trophy! I think I am done with Skyrim, for the time being, but I did enjoy my time with it. I will write a review for it soon. I think my next game will be a shorter one...

Just earnt the platinum trophy! That grind to get level 50 was a little tough, so I'm not looking forward to the grind to get to a high enough level to face a legendary dragon...

I played this game new. And now I am playing it again, with mods! Currently at about 400 of them.

This is a shallow, but epic and enjoyable, game that does more in the vein of TES 3 and 4. Some things feel unfinished, can also be fixed with mods somewhat (Mages questline, companions questline). Mods and my drive to …

This is a shallow, but epic and enjoyable, game that does more in the vein of TES 3 and 4. Some things feel unfinished, can also be fixed with mods somewhat (Mages questline, companions questline). Mods and my drive to do everything have stretched out my playthrough to hundreds of hours.

Just beaten Miraak, now I just need to craft an item out of Stalhrim, ride a few dragons and find one more Black Book, then I will be finished with the Dragonborn DLC!
