How is this shit still so good after all these years? I have over 300hrs on the Switch and I can’t stop playing. Too bad I’m poor otherwise I’d have modded the absolute living shit out of it on a gaming PC by now. I’m actually planning on making a new save and this time finish every quest, read every book, find all the secrets and cope with all the lore videos on YouTube.
The Elder Scrolls series in general have always had this unique charm to them that I can’t quite explain. They give you this whole entire world for you to cope with, it’s insane. It feels like they’re a genre of their own; nowadays, every “new” game I play is another third-person been there done that cookie-cutter open world Ubisoft-ish game that I get bored of after 10hrs of gameplay, meanwhile I can’t name another game besides Skyrim that is first-person medieval high fantasy that allows you to go to every house you want and even buy one (can’t in real life cause poor) talk with whoever you want (can’t in real life cause autism) get a wife (can’t in real life cause incel) and pick up every object you see and throw it around in the city (can’t in real life cause high-inhib)
See what I mean? It’s a really fucking unique experience you can’t find anywhere else including and especially in real life.
The closest I’ve ever gotten to the same levels of immersion was in Kingdom Come Deliverance (Oblivion with no magic, highly recommended) and Breath of the Wild (my all time favorite, best escapism)
I’m pretty sure I won’t be alive by the time Elder Scrolls VI is released and have probably roped by then so congratulations to all the youngercels who will get a chance to play it.
