never play it

I should really play this

Poor man's Witcher?

I completed the stories for the DLCs but never finished the main story. There's a lot of side quests but they tend to mostly be the same thing. It's still a fun experience for me, especially since it's still an elder scrolls game, which I enjoy. I'll probably never come back to it once I complete the main story, if I ever do.

i liked playing Skyrim, it was my first elder scrolls game and it didnt disappoint. i like that there are a ton of side quests to do. quite often id get sidetracked for hours from what i intended to do. its very easy to get immersed in the world and killing a dragon for the first time is always a thrilling experience. i dont think its one of those games you can just pick up and play, for me at least i have to be in the right mood for a game like skyrim. Overall its very enjoyable and can entertain you for hundreds of hours :)

I didn't have it, but when it got big dc i will buy..
Want this games so much..

Could you create thread for Diablo or one of Diablo like games (such as torchlight, path of exile, grim dawn, titan quest) ?

I have tried to play it with and without mods, with official patches only and official and unofficial patches only. Result is always some unstable pos that loves to go CTD once i put in some hours....

I really want to like the game but the game doesn't like me. :(

Also Morrowind>>>Sykrim

Shallow in itself, but mods turn it into the ultimate open world fuckaroundery besides MineCraft. But Skyrim can have some nice tits and MineCraft cannot really.
But it suffers from the usual Bethesda GS stupidity. Things like how you cannot find one single so-called Skyrim fan who could, without any help, tell you what the main plot of the game actually is.

60% game - mixed, would've been a 70% if i had played it day1 which i could've but it didn't lure me in; played it years later after adding a shit-ton of mods, ended up not even knowing whats part is the stock game and whats modded - kinda pointless and irritating, i don't care much to play a "special snowflake edition ENB something" edition of games - if not everyone has the same game, its just not the same experience (its like eating a self-made birthday cake alone - wtf ...) - not to mention skyrims core mechanics and physics are shit-tier (especially combat, literally a sleep pill); but i can see why others could still very much like it

Mediocre without mods as a game. The world has immense lore, interesting locations and Bethesda really shines at environmental storytelling, but this won't take away primitive combat, bad main questline and the anti-immersion player-centered gameplay where people just magically know you are, read from your skills and say the same 4 lines of idle-text
Good example of what modders can do from a game, and a scary promise (of Bethesda) of what games could turn into if developers would let the bar lower, hoping that modders will fix it anyways.
(Interesthing though the number of fanatics who can sink thousands of hours into a game that does NOT have gameplay for that time, except killing whatever respawns and attacks you - likely they de-gamify the game, so instead of rushing for high skills and quests, just take their time and "live" in the game. If that's the case, then it's another aspect of the game that's an interesting consideration for value and "re"playability)

It's an OK GTA-like with horses instead of cars. 7/10 (haven't played the DLCs nor had time to try mods).

Gameplay (7): It works. You explore, whack stuff, empty containers and that's pretty much it. Exteriors are great, dungeons are terrible, nothing new under Bethesda's sun.

Accessibility (7): Nothing particularly problematic unless you like to remap movement to UHJK or something. PC UI is mediocre and looks like it's from a console port.

Story (6): Main quest is close to nonexistent, sidequests are alright. I don't remember much about the lore, it's not as original as Morrowind's.

Positive but not that positive. You also need mods because bethesda is lazy, is really lazy :/

It's fun until you realize that it is an RPG and you can't treat it like a traditional sandbox a la GTA, as soon as I found out that the depth of the game was gated and the missions were a chore I gave up, that happened around 10 hours in. There's also the complete lack of direction that I felt while playing.

What I don't like about it is that unlike Fallout NV, the legendary difficulty is unfair. Enemies will hit you 90% of the time, they'll deal an horrendous ammount of damage that you can barely mitigate wearing armor and stuff, and the only reasonable way to beat the game in legendary mode is abusing certain mechanics and magic. As many people already said, it's not that good without mods.

I know the main story the most, does it make me not a fan, perhaps?

Okay modern take on a lite-on-stats medieval fantasy adventure a la Ultima 7 / Ultima Underwold, still not as good in the dialogue department.

It's a pretty fun open world thingy and it even has some RPG elements. I like that exploring Skyrim is interesting... for a while. The main story is also rather interesting, but it definately feels like you just 'play along' rather than making your own decisions. After playing Fallout 4, Skyrim SE felt quite good again, but after playing the Witcher series for a while... I really don't feel like calling Skyrim an RPG anymore.

Gameplay: 8/10 The mechanics still hold up and wandering through Skyrim is still fun.
Accessibility: 7/10 It's pretty easy to get into.
Story: For the main quest I'd give it 7/10 and for the rest 6/10.
Overall: It's a 6.5-7/10 if you like to run around in a fantasy open world sandbox. As an RPG it's hardly 4/10.

It was my first Elder Scrolls game and I thought it was a lot of fun! I really liked exploring the world, combat wasn't perfect but I liked it nonetheless.
I don't remember a single bit of the story though, but I didn't play it for the story anyway.

If I get the DLCs I may play it again from the start, it has been a while. :)

Was my third Elder Scrolls I played, finished it on PS3, then I set sail on PC, then I played it on Steam, then I played it on Steam with the DLC, then I played it a few more times, then I played the remastered version. So yeah that game is okay.

It hits that sweet spot in being able to appeal to a more mainstream / "casual" audience, while maintaining enough depth and classic RPG elements to at give at least a "mostly positive" reception to seasoned vets. That the modding community has taken so strongly to it is testament to the fertility of the environment and world design, and the catchiness of the core mechanics and the feeling of exploration and immersion one gets. It's sort of like The Sims for RPG/fantasy folk and "PC masterrace" types, and I think Bethesda will be taking full advantage of that fact in the next Elder Scrolls iteration.... ie, designed with a mod marketplace in mind.

Never played it actually. Loved Morrowind when it came out but didn't really enjoy Oblivion so I never tried Skyrim.

Maybe someday I'll play it but there are many other RPGs in my shortlist before that.

My second Elder Scrolls game, Oblivion was my first. I missed Morrowind because I wasn't into RPGs when Morrowind came out.

I played through the main storyline and did a few side quests, it was pretty fun, I think I spent like 90 hours or so, and thought I might be done because I was a little bored.

Then I found mods.

Then I played for 800 more hours.

Vanilla Skyrim = 6 / 10
Modded Skyrim = 9.5 / 10

I especially like the "alternate start" mods because then I get to be whoever I feel like being. Farmer, bandit, hunter, wanderer, soldier...

The gameplay mechanics are not deep, but they are varied. And mods can make your choices more meaningful in terms of playstyle.

Dungeons are great - a big step forward from Oblivion.

Worst game ever. (don't look at my game stats. comment aimed at the "reviewers",especially special edition)
