Pikigeek: The bottom line here is that Skyrim is a game for everybody, and represents the best that the Elder Scrolls series has to offer. It stands as Bethesda’s crowning achievement, and one of the greatest, most engrossing games ever released. It’s more accessible than its predecessors, without sacrificing any of the depth and breadth of content that the series is known for. It’s also the perfect sequel – one where literally every aspect has been improved over its predecessors. So say good bye to your life, your job, your significant other, your friends, and your family – Skyrim is your new master. Bow down.
As The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered takes up 125GB, original designer Bruce Nesmith recalls fitting Skyrim into a tiny file size.
Skyrim is still my favorite ES game. I’m playing through it again right now since I never finished it.
Morrowind is by far my favorite. But I’m getting old and played Daggerfall Morrowind and Oblivion before Skyrim
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.
Big Bethesda Nintendo Switch eShop sale now live with lowest prices ever for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Doom (2016), and more.
