Confessions of a Skyrim Addict

The Publisher of GoozerNation writes, " I was armed to the teeth with a Legendary Ebony sword and a full set of Dragonplate armor and had leveled up to 51. I had already completed the Companions, the thief quest line, the mage quest line (for the second time), the Bard’s college and much more, not to mention innumerable side quests, and had cleared every single dungeon and mine I could find. The chests in each of my homes flow over with jeweled necklaces, rings, ingots of every type; my armories were fully stocked with glowing weapons enchanted with the best magic and if I ever wanted a particular suit of armor, all I had to do was look for it (or just make it again)."

I have clocked over 2,000 hours in skyrim and i have barely done anything mentioned in that article

What does that make me

JimmyJames704305d ago

Yeah, I realize that my almost 300 hours is probably kind of weak compared to other people, but I only started playing a few months ago. I also realize there is a TON of stuff I haven't done yet. I have made enchantments, but I have no idea how I did it or how to make more. I could look it up, but I prefer discovering stuff on my own.

Nice... I just have them hours building my character and exploring and just doing randomness

And most importantly, learning the history of the elder scrolls from reading in-game books and notes

Red_Devilz4305d ago

I wish I could play 54hrs a month to persuade myself to pay $15 a month. Just can't see myself paying 3X the amount I pay for PS+ subscription (which I am too happy to pay for) to play just 1 game, that too after purchasing it at full price. -_-

ICANPLAYGAMES24304d ago

Agreed, that's pretty much why I couldn't get into MMOs, before a lot of them went free to play, that and the gameplay for them seems boring to me. Even if this game interests me I can't seem to justify gaming as a service, no thanks.

Red_Devilz4304d ago

I like MMOs and I was especially looking forward to TESO. But, between study, work, family I can barely get few hours per week to play. Just can't justify paying per month amount (any mount) to any game, not just TESO.

ICANPLAYGAMES24300d ago

@Red_Devilz, I completely got your point, and was just adding my personal take and preference. I've tried several on the recommendation from friends (even WoW), and just couldn't stay interested beyond 20 - 30 hours in. While my feelings towards MMOs are only relevant to me, I think I see the disagree may have been towards my final comment regarding not being able to justify gaming as a service, where I meant subscriptions on a per game basis, and not something like PS+ (or any other game rental service, etc.).

He forgot that you will have to buy the game to,and pay subscriptions.

MS could compress their games on disc

raWfodog29d ago (Edited 29d ago )

Skyrim is still my favorite ES game. I’m playing through it again right now since I never finished it.

jznrpg19d ago

Morrowind is by far my favorite. But I’m getting old and played Daggerfall Morrowind and Oblivion before Skyrim

ActualWhiteMan28d ago

Yeah totally. Definitely won’t be hacking it Nintendo 🤞🏻

Fallout and Skyrim show us that talented developers make great games when you leave them alone

That judicious lack of oversight permeated everything in Bethesda's RPGs, in a positive fashion.

Christopher58d ago

I much prefer a left alone Obsidian and Larian Studios. Bethesda's formula has grown old for me.

anast56d ago

Larian hit another level with DOS:2 and then took it even further with BG3. They do high quality work.

jznrpg57d ago (Edited 57d ago )

Skyrim was a letdown compared to previous games and so was Fallout 4

Kosic56d ago

I agree, I found it an interesting game. But nowhere near worth the hype (unless you include mods)

dmonee57d ago

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

TheColbertinator56d ago

We should leave Obsidian alone. Bethesda on the other hand should be kept under constant psychiatric observation.

anast56d ago

Skyrim feels like the game was made in a hurry with a disorganized team.
