Steve of The Daily Rotation wrote, "I cannot give this game any higher honors other than it’s a must play. It really is the best RPG game ever created. The world that Bethesda created is just flat out beautiful, from looking up in the night sky to watching the fog move high up on the mountains. The best part is, it’s not static, it actually moves. This game is easily the best thing I’ve played all year and I’ve played all the big releases from January to November, since December has no big releases. If you haven’t tried it, try it. Rent it, buy it, Gamefly it. Either way, you need to try this game out. There will not be a higher recommendation from me when talking about this year’s titles."
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.
