I rebooted Skyrim for the 10th anniversary, figured I would try it without mods, but saw Survival mode and had to give it a try.
It really injects some great flavor to the base game. I'm still pretty early on (lvl 7) but really loving playing the game. I'm amazed how good it still looks, granted I am playing it …

It really injects some great flavor to the base game. I'm still pretty early on (lvl 7) but really loving playing the game. I'm amazed how good it still looks, granted I am playing it on ultra on my PC, but still, the landscapes are simply breathtaking, the music some of the best ever.

They're re-re-releasing Skyrim:
Basically, Skyrim Anniversary Edition will optimize the game for Xbox Series X/S and PS5 consoles, while bunding all existing DLC and adding 500 pieces of “Creation Club” content. These are fan mods that Bethesda liked enough to include in an official version of the game.
If you already own the Skyrim Special Edition, these upgrades will …

I was just thinking about replaying Skyrim with some of the amazing mods i haven't tried yet so this seems neat.
And wow, i can't believe it's been almost a decade. Where the hell is TES 6? The gap between entries used to be 6-7 years at most.

The main quest was... really short. Bit disappointed about that. I had hoped we'd got to know more about

Me: "Well sweet child Bethesda wouldn't let me romance Brynjolf."
Sofie: "Fair point."

Man I think I realize now that I like modding Skyrim more than actually playing it. I used Wabbajack to automatically download a modlist and get it to play nice but... It just doesn't feel as satisfying as spending 18 days modding Skyrim to get a crash when I hit new game. Ah well. I think I'll shelve that idea …

I know, I know. I'm like, almost a decade late. BUT! This isn't reaaaally the first time that I've played this game; it's just that...the first time I played, it was only for a couple of hours.

First time around, I created a Wood Elf/Bosmer character. I vibe with the woodland types. This time around, I decided to go with a Khajiit. (To be honest, I woke up this morning and my first thought was, "I wanna play Skyrim. I'm gonna be an Argonian!" And then I didn't choose an Argonian... But I still have no idea why I woke up thinking about Skyrim.)
This isn't really the type of gameplay that I typically go for. I hate first person, which is part of why I don't play any shooters whatsoever. But in the few hours that I played today, I realized how much I don't like the third person option, and that first just feels way better.
Anyway, I might update occasionally, but since we all know what an undertaking this game is, I dunno how much time I'll really be able to put into it most days.
Also, my only other experience with TES was being a kid, trying out my brother's copy of Morrowind. Having really only played JRPGs in the RPG genre at that point, I was used to just picking up whatever items I found. Within 10 minutes of starting the game, I'd stolen something from someone's house, had half the town chasing me, and died. Never touched it again. Oof.

I've completed this game on the PS3, not the ideal experience. Skyrim was the reason I build a PC to play modded Skyrim. Installed the last mod build of Ultimate Skyrim - Requiem. This will be the only and last build of the non Special Edition build. I've never completed a requiem build and plan to do that.

The Skyrim Special Edition build will be the Lexy's Legacy of the Dragonborn where I would like to do a completionism run.
