Ashton Mills "Bethesda and Skyrim: the fall of an Empire"
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.
Am I the only one who is having no problems with the game? Other than game crashes sometimes after playing for hours (and I suspect it is my own hardware problem)
Skyrim is way better than any previous elder scrolls in every aspect. It is the most stable game from Bethesda as well. I remember Morrowind very well and you would be lucky to finish the game because it was too buggy. It had crazy crashing issues and things you may do that will break your whole goddamn game if you did not back up a savefile. They fixed most of problems after maybe 4 patches.
If there is a real complain, I would say enemies get way easier to kill in a higher levels. Ulfric's stormcloaks now die with one sword hit.
Your not the one, I am 52 hours in and it's been better than i ever thought it would be!
140+ hours in, three lock ups, one incident of lag, and no immunities. Happy as hell regardless of the issues.
130 hours in and my only issue is my spouse (in game) dissappeard so I get no money. On and the occasional lockup during long gaming sessions.
