Skyrim for Nintendo Switch is... different, I guess

- Skyrim Special and Anniversary edition for the Switch was something else for sure. It suffers from a lot of drawbacks, like with the hardware it's running on, but it does manage to do... one thing right? If anything at all.

Complaining about the buttons “being swapped” by Nintendo is really fucking stupid because they made the layout and Xbox is the one with the swapped buttons they basically just copied the dream cast and because it’s easy to get used to them being different
alternative title: game designed around xbox and PS controls is weird on system with alternate controls
@@crazyjake771 kinda see your point you’ve only played on systems with the other layout so you never think of Skyrim having it the other way round
@@FSR-1345 its not a bad point to make though because i absolutely said that without thinking to phrase it around Nintendo’s button layout being the original
Bro u can Always Change the Controls
I cganged IT and itz a compleate different experience with perfekt settings.
I could give u mine but thats to much effort 😂🎉
Hey bro. Everything is gunna be okay. Calm down
The best part of the Switch version is you don't get distracted with mods and actually play the damn game for a change.
tell me about it haha
That and the link costume.
Sgt-Wolf, running a Linkle build with a female wood elf armed with a crossbow, the master sword, and protected by the Hylian shield while wearing the tunic. There’s one thing I don’t like about that tunic though, that it’s not separate pieces like most armors are, but essentially a onesie.
yeah, its great so you can see how absolutely terrible skyrim really is
@@Dbentzjr you gotta be kidding me. you know you're overbloating what skyrim is, right? we've both played the game. I've beaten it on ps3 when the game would barely work if you have a save file with more than 60 hours on it, beaten it again on PC, did all the mod shit with my wife and I cannot understand why the hell would you think you can "interact with everything and anyone". The npcs are all the same and have nothing good to do or say, everything in the world is a joke fetchquest into a draugr filled tunnel for the 213891237th time, and everyone exists simply to blow the Dragonborn all day long. You're either nostalgic for the game, never played anything better before or after it (even oblivion or Morrowind ffs), so your opinion is not worth jack as its infested with ignorance and contempt for slop. Thankfully bethesda is going down the drain currently even if it took like 6 bad, buggy and horribly written games for people to finally get the hint that the world moved on and any slight effort can make something better than it. In case you want more detail, just watch Salt Factory's video on skyrim. Any sane person that comes from outside to look at this game when the cards are on the table like that, cannot think its a coherent thing. The magic of the game is all inside your head and was put there by a bloodthirsty incompetent company solely pushed forward by hype and scams
Growing up is realising that ‘vanilla’ is it’s very own aesthetic
For sure, I usually only get graphical mods that enhance that vanilla aesthetic.
Upscaled vanilla textures as opposed to brand new textures, community shaders instead of enbs, etc.
It isn't vanilla if you can smith arrows.
@@AtrociousFool53 Yes it is, the Dragonborn dlc added the ability to smith arrows.
@@AtrociousFool53 It is. Dragonborn DLC made them craftable back in 2012 on xbox 360 & ps3
Ah dude, playing vanilla and just seeing how far you can mess with the mechanics, just as Todd intended? Surprisingly fun even now
"Played Skyrim as a kid" Why did this sentence made me feel so old?
that one hit hard
I was on leave from the ARMY waiting in the gamestop reserved midnight release line with my girlfriend lol - I walked out with the big chungus box with the alduin statue
I was 25 😂
I was 12 when it came out lol
It came out 2 days after I turned 18. I feel old everytime when I take my switch, and turn on skyrim and feel so nostalgic. But I love this damn game and still have so much fun playing it and starting a new playthrough and play differently, just 2 days ago I started my first ever survival mode playthrough😂
Its official. Im older than the RUclips video essay guys now
Fr brother, my brother-in-law the other day asked me who Fred was from RUclips. Now this, we'll be hitting 40 soon enough.

Kinda whack to hear someone call this a childhood game when I was in high school when it came out

You know that confusion when something is made so well that you assume it has like, at least 200k views, only to realize it’s a small RUclipsr? Yeah, I’m feeling that right now.
Most videos nowadays are following extremely similar blueprints. Edits, voice over, tone of it, pace of it.
Even the structures throughout the videos intro, outro etc.
Not hating. Still a thumbs up for making it. Just stating my opinion.
Homie has the flow.
Wow a good use of "SMALL youtuber" when the tuber isnt a 50k+ channel but your dead on the point
it's crazy to think a channel with ~10k views now adays can be considered small. especially from people with not even 1 video.
Exactly
i first played it on my switch in 2021 during the pandemic when my school was in lockdown, put almost 250 hours into it in the first 2 months of playing it, and I sill play on my switch to this day
2021? I got it in 2017 along with my Switch as my first game for the system. Been playing since then with three different builds, one for each classes.
@@whitewolf3051 Same and i'm about to restart the game again, i miss that world.
I have been living abroad for the past 9 months, and won’t return home to my Xbox until October.
I bought a switch specifically for traveling.
I think I’ve spent 100 hours on Skyrim in handheld mode. I’m really glad it exists.
Just a shame its worse looking/performing than the x360 version from 13 years ago :(
@@zybch Does it? Admittedly when I played 360 it was on a crappy TV, but from what I remember the Switch version looks just as good.
@@zybchHow? It's better than the 360 and PS3 version. Higher resolution docked and the 30fps is more stable.
@@zybchyou’re delusional lol it’s a lot better on switch compared to the 360
“Why does Nintendo switch the A and B buttons” they’ve literally had the same controller set up since 1992. Ask Microsoft why they had to copy PlayStations setup.
This
Playstation uses cross/circle/triangle/square.
Cross (A equivalent) has almost always been jump/select/yes and square (B equivalent) has always been back/no. Xbox changed the symbols. Nintendo is just backwards from PlayStation.
Can be said Microsoft copied PS, but nobody was really backwards at the time. Nintendo and Sony were the only major players at the time until Xbox showed up.
A and B/Yes and No have always been swapped on Nintendo. Nintendo made the controls first, it's actually Xbox and the American version of Playstation that swapped it to be the other way around.
heck even Japan and US playstation Swap their X and O buttons for yes and no. It still goes on like this
Nintendo didn’t invent the idea of controls but ye this backwards standard drives me mad even back on NES, where B and A are the wrong way around and out of pattern with every other company
@@NoFeckingNamesLeft i didn't mean Nintendo invented controllers, i meant that back with the SNES they created the 4 face buttons used in basically every controller since then.
@@hteekay Yeah, the O and X thing still throws me off because I have a modded Japanese Vita which uses the Japanese version by default and I use the Steam Deco or a PS5 controller for use on PC. Itbetter than it used to be though. I remember a few games back in the PS2 era that used triangle for back. I think some games used square as well.
@@hteekayyes, the rightmost button being select and the bottom being back is Japanese button mapping, which Nintendo keeps on their American consoles while Sony doesn't . Also to note, the Japanese mapping on Sony controllers is specifically designed for cultural context, that is, "X" means "bad, not good, etc", which then effectively creates no by visual context for Japanese players
I've owned a few different copies of Skyrim, but the first time I actually beat all of the main quests was on the Switch. Last year I bought a Steam Deck just so I could play handheld modded Skyrim, I spent hours and hours on Nexus, watching RUclips vids of various quality and usefulness getting things to work, and then after I finally got it to work, they updated the PC game late last year, breaking most of the mods (unless you were willing to jump through hours of hoops to get it working after every update), so I at that point, I was done. I still find myself playing the vanilla version on the Switch though, mostly on my Switch lite (I have 3 Switches now, I keep finding them cheap)
I only bother modding Skyrim VR since Bethesda never bothered trying to add creations to it. The version is frozen in time and super stable for modding.
The Switch version is actually unique in that it is the only version of the game that patches out the vampire attacks on towns from Dawnguard.
Every other version has easily available mods to remove that, in the case of the PS4 and beyond versions, but Switch is the only one that Bethesda actually bothered to take the time to remove that annoying, janky feature before release.
Cos we got bigger mits. In Asia cos their mits are small their thumbs sit bitter on circle. Then again I am not Asian so this is speculation.
Why play the vanilla switch version over the vanilla pc version tho?
@@CaptainEffort Because it's easy to play on the couch or portably I was playing Modded Skyrim on my Steam Deck for awhile but the recent updates made it a pain so I went back to the Switch.
"i played skyrim as a kid"
jesus christ im ancient
when i first played was on ps3 on a crt... now i'm married and have 3 kids who i have to learn to write and do maths... FML
Quite possibly my most played Switch game, and I've done plenty of Skyrim.
Best way to play vanilla: lightweight and on the go. Suits the age of the game well.
Idk, running it as less than 30 fps with insane load times makes it feel “heavier” than it is.
steam deck or rog ally is better
@@leelee-uq5ui Depends on you. If you prioritize performance and graphics, and don’t mind needing to be plugged into a wall constantly, then go with the ROG.
If you’re willing to sacrifice some performance for excellent battery life and convenience, go with the Deck.
Also if you’re new to pc gaming in general, definitely go with the Deck.
I am also factoring the switch being dirt cheap and lightweight, the negatives are a tradeoff for slinging it in a bag for a short train ride or flight@@CaptainEffort
@@CaptainEffort i use rog ally 90% plugged in at work or in bed and 10% plugged in to my portable battery in the car just finished starfield loved it
I played this on switch back in 2019, it was an awesome experience and I was re addicted to it
Skyrim on switch oled was absolutely amazing for me. It was updated with all the bethesda community mods so it was a breath of fresh air compared to the original release, but also I played it more often because I could do so on the couch, my car, my office, on a trip etc.
And as weird as it is to say, this was the first time in almost a decade I actually completed the main story because I wasn't distracted by the thousands of existing mods
The A, B, X, and Y buttons have been in that layout since the Super Nintendo, back in 1990. It was an evolution of the NES controller's layout where the A button was on the right, and B button was on the left, back in 1985. The only real early defiance came from Sega when they released the Genesis in 1989, after seeing Nintendo's upcoming Super Famicom / SNES controller with 4 face buttons; Sega released a controller with 6 face buttons, A, B, C, X, Y, and Z. And after challenging the Nintendo Entertainment System with their Sega Master System, Sega saw the early designs for controllers, and simply inverted the layout that Nintendo had made popular, putting A on the left instead of the right. Nintendo has stuck to their layout longer than most gamers have been alive, and even though it's clearly not the choice of most people, they were never the weird ones, but rather, were the only ones sticking to the format that they themselves popularized. You hate it, I hate it, basically everyone who plays on anything not made by Nintendo hates it... but that's how it was at the dawn of modern gaming, and they've adhered to it. Everyone else deviated from it, and were the weird ones.
I prefer the nintendo layout if anything. Maybe because my switch gets the most love nowadays but to me it makes more sense. Definitely was weird when they released dark souls remastered on switch and they stuck to having B as the interact button lol
@@kyongu375
My condolences.
@@kyongu375the Nintendo layout is better. Full stop. I hate the Xbox layout, it drives me insane! “A” has been the action button and has been on the right for over 30 years. It’s always a hard adjustment for me playing something on Xbox or PlayStation. No shade to anyone who prefers the Xbox layout! Nobody’s perfect :)
I did a 200 hr+ on the switch lite a few years ago and even without mods it was one of my favorite playthroughs. But then the steam deck came out and i could grab some old saves which was great as well. And those trackpads...
Good video man, liked the humor and the cutting. Keep it up
Skyrim is one of games that I always back and play now and then. Even played the switch version for another reason to play.
Playing it for an hour in bed right before you sleep or sitting on your front porch during sunset completely changes your relationship to the game, that’s why you buy it on switch.
If you’re playing it docked you’ve made a mistake.
Yes.im almost 30 and i played very little of it when it came out idk why but ive been grinding it in my switch for the past week or 2
@@CorbinSwoope people underestimate the impact that your surroundings can have on your experience with a game. I was kinda bored with it after several years and the switch version revived my interest.
@@willcooper8028 it’s a real fun game.ive played fallout 3 and new Vegas when they came out I’ve even played starfield.but nothing hits like Skyrim in my opinion 🤷🏼♂️
@@CorbinSwoope I totally agree. I think in a lot of ways it’s the most beautiful game ever released, but I have never really been able to pinpoint way. I mean in a lot of other ways it looks like garbage but I keep coming back to it almost entirely for the visuals and ambiance.
@@willcooper8028 exactly .ive never seen so much bugs in a game or glitches but I still come back
this video is thoroughly entertaining thanks
Thanks for being entertained!!!
Played this on 4 other consoles and the switch version made me fall in love all over again. Playing it in bed is such a game changer and playing it on the tv wasn’t bad either. Such a great game all together
Wonderful video. Keep up the good work, man!
Thank you!!
Skyrime switch edition was the game that made me realise that 3rd parties were actually gonna support the system. dont have it on switch but i do have the og and special versions on steam, both my most played game there. i'd only want to play it on switch for the novelty, like ive been doing with doom eternal.
Skyrim on the switch is amazing!! You don't need mods to enjoy this amazing game.
Yo, what's your modlist on your pc? Your game looks really pretty.
Also, I'm definitely keeping my eyes peeled for that FFXV vid
This video hits different, in the best way. Please keep making videos, this is beautiful.
I have honestly enjoyed playing it on switch way more because i can just lay in bed and play it
The small screen rules!
Language! Kids watch this channel
@@EpsiIonEagle what are you referring to
@@shazochlay is a dirty word 🤓
@@TheReZisTLust Dang, just dropping the hard "y" like that, huh?
I'm sure you're gonna say "But it's just a word!"
You can change the button mapping in the settings of the switch
The playing dark souls at your grandmas funeral joke is what got me to sub lmao, that shit was gold
Great video man, been wanting to pick this version up if not just for the novelty alone, but I got a switch lite rip 💀
I played Skyrim a TON when it released. Then I stopped. For over ten years. I just started it up again on ps5. It's strange to me that I still remember everything. I mean everything. I could say character lines the same tone and cadence as the characters. I could remember the order of things needed to happen to get to specific points. Everything. After ten years I remembered it all. I think that says a lot about this game.
I bought skyrim the week it came out on xbox 360 when i was in 8th grade. I played it for over 1000 hours and 100% all achievements (until i hooked my 360 up to internet and skyrim updated and added the achievements for the dlc😅). I owned it on pc and modded it into the dirt as well. Now as a 25 year old dad ive found that gaming has taken quite the back seat for me. Part of my nightly routine is booting up skyrim on my switch and playing for an hour or so beforw bed and i still somehow manage to find or discover new things.
I got this early on , summer 2017? I just remember being on vacation from work with the Switch strapped to the back of the headrest while my gf drove our suv, me in the backseat playing Skyrim! I was blown away just being able to bring it camping! I bought Skryrim several times as well…
You... You sat in the back seat playing switch while your gf drives? Ok 👍
@@HammerHeadBubba you act like you don't dream of that life
@@db5094 good point!
After I got the Steam Deck January last year, my Switch AND Switch Lite have been collecting dust. I finally decided to get back to it and I started Tears of the Kingdom and Mario Wonder, I’m really liking both so far
i've played skyrim both on the first rendition of the switch, and the switch lite, still play it to this day, it's a wonderful game regardless, also played the PS3 version long ago, good times, better times.
Please tell me the music you used for this video.
It's amazing on the Oled, few hundred hours on switch. Never docked either. Felt great and ran smooth as hell.
majority of my switch game playtimes has been in handheld honestly. the times ive played it dock is splitscreen/coop/multiplayer with family along with very few singleplayer games make it to the tv for me.
Agreed! Most of my time is docked
First time playing Skyrim ever but i got it on the switch. I have to say it's been the best game ever
I find myself getting Skyrim on the switch only to mod it on a hackable switch i recently got. Though I can't get it as good as my skyrim SE modlist i spent years and years on due to lack of skse and mod support, it's shocking when you're still able to change everything else for a small device as this, and fun trying to work around the hardware limitations of the switch, with the caveat of having those nasty texture glitches. If there's one thing I've learnt, it's that learning to understand file structures and getting mods to work without requiring an esp.
Honestly I love playing on the switch - also you get Link's botw tunic on the switch version and I LOVE that haha
Love me some classic vanilla Skyrim on the go!
my first time playing skyrim was on switch last year. i couldnt put the console down until i had the full game played through and only small quests left. i had no idea about modding or any of that until i got it for xbox. still one of my top 3 games ive played, even vanilla
I first played Skyrim on the Switch, I'm pretty much a casual gamer and had never heard of the Elder Scroll games. After getting a Switch my local game shop recommended it and I fell in love with it and put about 300 hours into it. I watched some videos for help in a few spots but always thought the wait feature was only for PC-Xbox_Ps3. So I spent a lot of time waiting and sleeping.
There’s nothing like being able to get comfy on a couch or wherever and just play Skyrim instantly without bothering with setup or location. It’s a comfort game for a lot of people (myself included) and it being portable only made it better.
Side note: best bug I ever got on my original 360 copy was that every time I shot an arrow, my controller disconnected. Basically meant bows were entirely unplayable
Skyrim is my favorite game. I play on all formats 😍
This is the type of content that keeps me inspired as a fellow small creator. Fantastic video, man. I think im gonna replay Skyrim on my switch, now.
im learning it really can just be whatever you want
skyrim is an addict crack game that i am always down for it, played on ps3, ps4 and ps5
I really like it. It's nice to have on the go
My mom bought me a switch for Christmas in 2018, along with a copy of Skyrim. That was the only time I ever played fully vanilla Skyrim, and didn't use any console commands (because i didn't have any) the 6 years prior to that had all been on PC, and honestly, it was super fun. It went to school with me every day, and I'd spend all of lunch and my free periods playing it. I still have it, along with that save file. Every time I go on vacation and take my switch, I go right back to playing it like I never stopped. There's something so unique about how you can just pick up Skyrim at any point in time, at any point in the game, with whatever mods on whatever platform, and then just lose yourself in it for hours. I've played 4,000 hours of it between Oldrim, SSE, and the Switch port, and I still haven't gotten enough
Have you played Skyrim on the SteamDeck OLED?
I waited until January 2023 until I bought my first Nintendo Switch, the OLED model. So glad I waited as I love that screen.
Hey nice job man this video is pretty damn well paced. I honestly thought this channel was a bigger one till i went to look at the comments and noticed that it was infact a newish channel. Anyways tho great video. Also yeah i gotta add why do we all keep buying Skyrim knowing we won't be playing it lol Bethesda is out here makin fools of us 😂
I gave bethesda way too much money over the years :( also thank you! i do my best, honest
The algorithm brought me here so you're doing something right. Good video.
It should be noted it’s even easier to lock pick in this version because of the rumble feature added.
Welcome back to skyrim friend!
I started on 360 and later played on switch and literally didn't notice the button swap at all
I eagerly await your future video of Starfield on the Switch 2
Give starfield 10 years and me another 2 and we’ll be full circle
You can change which buttons do what in the Switch System Settings, should fix that issue at least..
I don’t have a switch, but I have a steam deck and ROG Ally, which I play Skyrim on and portable Skyrim is definitely awesome. The steam deck made for a great portable experience, and I imagine the switch was great as well for those who wanted to play on the go.
Top notch content 👍
I gotta say, Switch is my main skyrim game and it will be for a while until ive done most of the things there are to do on that character. So amazing being able to play it wherever whenever
I only played skyrim on switch, only problem is my sister owns it so i cant play as much as id like.
Im thinking of buying my own copy, but there are more options then just switch available now.
Any recomendation outside of steam for console that runs skyrim?
Dont really own credit card so online purchases kinda cut out for me, and steam only has those...
Or is there redeemable you can buy for steam at local store, like world of warcraft (i was using this method be4 i stoped playing wow)?
I’m not sure if you’re American or not but steam does sell redeemable cards at stores like dollar tree Walmart target and so on.
@@Sheslost not american, but i found 2 options sold here, redeemable cards at 15% overcharge (so 100 EUR card costs 115 EUR) and another option with 1 EUR overcharge regardless of ammount (paysafecard) but it has monthly upkeep (either that or only if you dont use it for too long, dont quite understand terms).
Now only question is do you get all skyrim dlc with anniversary edition, cos if you do steam deck might be an option to consider. Is anniversary bundle worth it?
@@algum504 The dlc is a great edition to Skyrim but you could honestly get most if not all the anniversary bundle dlc features with mods
Quit making me feel old! I graduated a year before this game came out!
I graduated 8 years before it came out. Still playing it on my v2 switch. But the dark areas are completely washed out, so I bought an OLED switch. It looks pretty damn good for 720p.
I play Skyrim on my phone with backbone through steam link. It’s so nice to just lay on my bed playing my games.
What graphical mods are you using on PC? It looks really good.
His game looks really similar to mine. I’d wager he’s running SMIM, Skyland AIO, LUX, and Rudy ENB for NAT.
Or something very similar to that
Before my one back disc broke apart n had fragments laying in my spine n my l5-s1 was completely pinched against the spine, I liked playing on tv. But now can’t sit for more than a hour or 2 before having to quit a game, even after surgery.. That’s the reason I got the Oled and don’t regret it. Or waking up at 2-3am bored can’t sleep it’s nice just playing handheld. I’m definitely grabbing Dark Souls sometime. BOTW on handheld is great. The game was the first Nintendo game to actually amaze me.
I have mod fatigue. Mod for hours and finally play just to be bored with it in a couple of hours. The switch version has made me appreciate Skyrim for what it is and puts that magic back in it for me. The survival mode they added makes a nice bonus as well.
Over 12 years later and its still my game..Can't wait for elder scrolls 6
I like the way this video rolls out, I subscribed
Skyrims Nintendo Switch port is probably the best port there is, no mods and all the glitches are still there so you can just enjoy the game without feeling you need for enhancements, it's a 10/10 Port
4:46 30 inch TV? I wonder what it would look like on my 65" TV lol. I'd probably play it in handheld mode too.
Dunno how but going back to the oft compared Kingdoms of Amalur brought me here! I only have Skyrim on Switch so I know nothing about the other versions.. My main gripe is having it digitally is a memory eater
both Skyrim and Oblivion are on sale on Steam rn for like $14 total
Can you play it offline? I’m in for a long plane flight?
I have a switch lite and it's the only thing I play Skyrim on I'm 44.
My xbox died a month ago and i have been loving to play it on the switch since my laptop is outdated for gaming and i have been loving especialy the anniversity edition with the creation club adition
I too have been finding myself play the switch version of this game while I watch my little niece
Played the switch version in like 2021 or something, first time I've finished a non modded save since special edition
Personally, I found myself playing Skyrim a lot again and I prefer to play it on the Switch for one very specific reason: The HD Rumble.
Lockpicking and the switch's controllers are just perfect. It's been ages since I last broke a lockpick because the HD Rumble makes that mini game way more immersive.
my switch has been a skyrim machine since 2018
Feels like the same version of Skyrim I’ve played everywhere
I’m not sure why, but I feel so much more immersed in the game having it on the switch. I mean I have the pc version with all the immersive mods, but that makes it feel like a different game. I got sucked in when I played it on the switch. Might be the nostalgia of playing my gameboy as a kid in the back seat.
When the game first released I had an Xbox 360, but was in the middle of a break up and did not keep the console. In 2022 I bought myself a switch and after binging Zelda, Skyrim was the next thing I grabbed! So much fun! Hundreds and hundreds and hundreds of hours piled into it. With nothing to compare it I don’t know about performance or visual differences from other consoles but I do know I enjoyed the game
dang your childhood was skyrim !!!!! mine was morrowind on the xbox og :P
was it just me or did those load times feel extra long?? maybe my poor xbox couldnt handle much more than halo 2 and maybe… rainbow six 3
Oh yeah ? Mine was freaking Commodore 64 and Arcades- Street Fighter 2 ,Final Fight. Till this day I laugh with my parents about stealing coins from their wallet so I can at least one credit and enjoy game 😁
I own the game, but I haven't been able to get into it. I wonder if I need to give it more of a chance. But I gravitated a lot more to Breath of the Wild and Witcher 3 (which I probably have 500 hours in on the Switch version). I don't think I've figured out the core appeal/experience that I can latch onto. With Witcher 3, its all the short stories, with Breath of the Wild it is the sandbox elements, the massive scope of the adventure, and its got a "story" in how you experience the world. Skyrim, I'm struggling to find a thread.
I have the same relation with the Witcher 3. I own it on several platforms & while having it on pc with the crazy graphical “next gen update” has the game looking gorgeous. Despite all that I still prefer playing on switch. Something about not taking gaming so seriously & on the go allows me to enjoy it much more
Maybe that’s the secret to truly enjoying it !
Is that “ on god, baby girl “ a reference to uncle Ron?
I played Skyrim on Nintendo Switch first. I bought it again for PC because I wanted to experience mods and just overall better graphics. I still love my Switch version. But I only jump back into it if I'm mobile and want to tune out the world for a little while.
I love collecting rare weapons and armors in Skyrim/Fallout games. The completionist in me needed this version for the simple fact that they added the Master Sword and Hylian Shield as well as the BOTW outfit to this version of the game. Being the fourth and not even final time I’ve purchased this game I still put in over 100 hours on this version lol
honestly i thought i wouldn't be able to go back to the base game after all the modding but these past few weeks I've yet again found myself lost in the world of skyrim. the only 2 games that have me coming back after decades is skyrim and morrowind
I play on the switch when i want play hand held or without the game crashing alot
Tbh I think it's one of the best ports on the Switch. It runs pretty well, sometimes crash but the graphics run really well for the switch. No mods but tbh I don't find that much of a problem personally.
Bought a switch right before the pandemic happened as a non gamer and now I’ve very recently picked up a Skyrim for the first time. It’s been so enjoyable. I cannot believe how many great games are on the switch!!!
Take a look at the Super Nintendo controller layout from 1991
I used to mod a lot but I found a mod list called Nolvus and my god nothing compares, it is literally the end game modlist currently. I can’t find myself trying anything else. It is extremely demanding but god damn is it an incredible experience. I work long nights and the auto installer was super easy. I love wabbajack mod lists but none of those modlists even compare. Not sponsored just an average gamer that was shocked at what I was playing. I can’t explain it other modlist just feel like content not right for the game somehow. Nolvus just feels right. And when I play vanilla Skyrim I don’t go for the special or anniversary, I play the original one that is now de listed from steam idk but that version just feels like the pure Skyrim version
I actually do like having Skyrim on a mobile platform. I play it on my switch a good amount. I own it on PC and sometimes it's nice booting up in the living room or on a trip.
and me on 270 hour playtrough, so addict ❤
Growing up is realizing you’ll never get over Skyrim after playing it once your hooked for life no matter how long the pause is
