Geekparty: I was attempting to kill some time by searching for some hilarious Skyrim videos on YouTube the other day when an interesting trend was brought to my attention. You see, I typed in the words “Skyrim Lydia” into the YouTube search box, and one of the auto-fill options was “Skyrim Lydia hot.” This means that enough people have actually used “Skyrim Lydia hot” as search parameters that YouTube decided there’s a fair chance that this is what people who search for Skyrim are looking for. Enough people that there’s an auto-fill option for that, anyway.
That judicious lack of oversight permeated everything in Bethesda's RPGs, in a positive fashion.
I much prefer a left alone Obsidian and Larian Studios. Bethesda's formula has grown old for me.
Larian hit another level with DOS:2 and then took it even further with BG3. They do high quality work.
I agree, I found it an interesting game. But nowhere near worth the hype (unless you include mods)
Skyrim blew my mind when it released. That game took me to the gaming, promisedland. Going back to it when it was updated for the PS5, it felt slightly rough around the edges, but great for its time
We should leave Obsidian alone. Bethesda on the other hand should be kept under constant psychiatric observation.

I couldn't be bothered to put up with the companions in Skyrim (or most games where it's optional, for that matter), mules be damned. Besides, who wants to share the glory?
It's less about glory-sharing and more about getting in trouble. If I have to sneak into somewhere, I'm trespassing. 99% of the time I can sneak right to where I need to go. With the companion, they just barge right through calling attention to me.
This isnt much of a spoiler but the follower you end up getting in Dawnguard is actually useful. I liked to go it alone but now I have my companion with me all the time
would of just liked it better if co - op was implemented in a sense were your friend would take the place of your companion with items from there own game that they had on at the last time they played.
All these Skyrim memes seem so forced and manufactured compared to "The cake is a lie" and other past videogame memes. Skyrim is less overrated than some games people have fallen all over themselves to praise this gen, but it's still a bit overrated.
I used companions through the majority of the game, but I wouldn't have if sneaking was my thing. As for shared glory, that makes no sense because you get all the glory and reward anyway.
The Elder Scrolls games could be so much better, but as long as Bethesda keeps getting such praise ( Dev of the Year ) for delivering a buggy game at launch ( it was very buggy across all platforms at launch so don't bother with the "maybe buggy on PS3" crap ) the series will never be what it could be. Player choice needs to play a larger role, and the impact of those decisions needs to be felt. Nothing extra is needed except changes to AI and more voice acting to reflect the various options. Give me that and better animations instead of the overrated dragons any day.
