I just hope when I go to sovngarde myself my life goes to black and I wake up to... "Hey you,you're finally awake,you were trying to cross the border right? Walked right into that imperial ambush,same as us. And that thief over there."
I played skyrim for the first time in 2012, and to this day i come back to it and play again, it’s because i love the calm yet slowly progressing game that you can choose any facet of it and still enjoy it like it is your first time, no other game may ever top it for me
Mods are doing the heavy lifting. Any game's shelf life is going to extend almost indefinitely with mods. I'm amazed so few game companies have figured that out yet.
Mods definitely play a part, but I don't think it's fair to give them all of the credit. There's a reason people are spending so much time making mods for Skyrim specifically, and not for other, equally moddable games. IMO, it's the environments coupled with the world building and lore. People want to spend more time in the world of Skyrim, and mods are just a way to make that easier and/or more fulfilling than what was possible with the base game mechanics.
It is the greatest game ever made imo. Nothing comes close for me except maybe the other elderscrolls games to an extent. But skyrim is just something different, easier to pickup and play. I love just walking around before bed and picking herbs, or doing thieves guild side quest and trying to earn a bunch of gold.
It came out my freshman year of college, and the memories of the midnight release with my friends, playing until sunrise the next day, and trading stories and theories at lunch and dinner will always be some of my favorites.
even though i think morrowind and oblivion got some of the best lore and characters ever written in the series, skyrim is my own personal back yard. I genuinely feel i achieved CHIM and ascended beyond the dream when my 731 personally crafted modlist works, without any hiccups
i actually like the skyrim quest design, even though i agree it lack flexibility but i think it left the player more sense of responsibility and makes you wonder whether you make the right/wrong decision. which i think makes every playthrough or quest more memorable. and is the biggest aspect of why people keep replaying skyrim. and they did this formula for many of their questline; the saadia and alikr, the companion, the forsworn, the blades and the civil war. they always force you to take sides, leaving no option to play neutral. i think this make every the decision you will make should be thought over and over again and make you feel satisfied whenever you finish a questline and feels like you make the right decision only to know later that decision ended up kill or f*ck someone else's life. always makes you wonder what if you pick the other side in another playthrough and suddenly find it can open to another and more outcome possibilites. hence why you always play skyrim and keep finding something new. nowadays i just play skyrim for modding and experiencing modernized skyrim as it fresh from 202x game while waiting for community project such as dlc sized quest mod, follower quest mod etc.
Mods are definitely doing a very big part of Skyrim staying so amazing, but personally I think it is the setting. This whole Nordic mythology stuff is super, super interesting. The landscape is amazing. From dense forests in the south to ice-capped mountains in the north. Personally, there's no better setting for me.
Bethesda's game offer; God I laughed so hard when I heard this. Name your kid Dovahkiin on launch day and get free Bethesda games for life. Anybody who actually did that to date would have received, wait for it ...3 free games! Excluding the cheezy phone games, that's all the games BGS has developed since ES V. Today that kid would be in JR high school and wondering ...Dovahkiin? Really? WTF dad?
Thanks for the great video....! Skyrim is packed full of epic quests, beautiful scenery, beautiful emotional music, great voice acting, and loads of rewards. I like the combat because it's realistic. Close quarter combat in real life is simple. it's about overwhelming your enemy with brute force, hacking, slashing, stabbing, punching, and blocking. Try it in VR. it's absolutely incredible. Modded Skyrim VR is exceptional....!
Remember that feeling you got when you played Skyrim for the 1st time? Everyone's omg moment is different, i'm sure- mine was after leaving Helgen, then heading to Riverwood from the standing stones and seeing salmon jumping out of the river, doing what salmon are supposed to do, swimming UPstream, instead of swimming in the water like other games. At that moment i knew i would love Skyrim.😊😊
The cherry on top of everything else you mentioned is the amazing soundtrack. As you said, the game invites anyone to open its doors to a world of fantasy but the music makes the game feel like home, for me anyways. Great vid and keep up the good work
All I play is vanilla And I think the reason there's no game like skyrim is that there hasn't been a game since skyrim That delivers us the same level of freedom. A lot of the fun you have in this game. Either comes from your first new experience of it, or it's going to come later on through role play elements. However, even just looking at it from a game play perspective, it offers so much freedom of how to play in terms of build diversity that it's almost like elden ring except far less stressful, which might be another part of why it's still such a good game and why it keeps bringing people back in the best game i've seen in terms of offering this experience since skyrim was elden ring but as I said not everyone wants to be stressed out for 2 hours on the same boss😂😂
Playing a Breton Paladin build right now. Got the build from this youtuber who i can't remember the name of that i think had a hand in creating lorerim
I disagree with the comment in the video about being able to quest anywhere from the beginning. Try taking on the Falmer, or a giant camp, or going to Solstheim. You’ll get your cheeks clapped pretty damn fast. Sabre cats, bears, trolls, the list goes on. Until you’ve leveled your gear and spent some perk points, you’re pretty limited in where you can go… unless you play in Novice difficulty. 😂
Prior to Skyrim I played some Dragon Age (one that counts as good) and enjoyed that. But in Skyrim within minutes after leaving Helgen I learned that this game in on another level: A fox crossed the road and I chased it into the bushes, only to be greeted by some orkish bandit guarding a cave entrance... The feleing I had - and have - with Sykrim I don't find easy at other games. What's the other single player game in the top 10 of most sold? Also what are your other two favorites?
skyrim is fun i enjoy the exploring about as much as i enjoyed dark souls exploration, maybe alittle less. skyrim needed more spells an i wish they had added spears an 'whips' like how morrowind had idk if there is ever going to be a game like skyrim but i also don't know if i'd ever want a game like skyrim again horses flying though the sky or walking 120 feet above the ground, rides an horse animation mishap swapping ai an scripts just not starting there second script.. windhelm solitude an the cival war where interesting re-imagining of there location or where it could be oblivion had sewers an whiterun, solitude an windhelm could have also had them as alternate entrances
Brother only just now recognized the obvious trend. Daggerfall fans only got the single game. Morrowind fans never got a true sequel. Even Oblivion fans got shafted. There will never be a Skyrim 2.
Sorry to say, but shows like the lord of the rings and Game of throwns, has little to do with the success of Skyrim, the first player aspect of discovery is what made it good, i never watched game of thrones, till it was released on DVD s, as for the lord of the rings, i read the books when in elementary school, and the movies, though fine, didn't share the same story as the books, that being said, people just wanted to try something different, and liked what they found in Skyrim
It's a map filled with dungeons to clear out, that's why you like it so much. Story, side quests, factions, combat, writing in general, rpg mechanics.... Everything else about the game is mediocre. You can literally kill the emperor and then join the empire 😂😂😂😂 As so many have said before, wide as an ocean but deep as a puddle.
@@LymeGreen04 - Dumbed down puzzles - Neutered spell crafting - Spells like levitate completely removed (designing quests/environments around player choice is hard I guess.🤔) - Reptitive side quests reminiscent of Phantom Pain (destory outpost # 56) - Attributes like personality and strength removed - Easily become guildmaster with no skill/stat requirements (mages guildmaster as a thief because reasaons) - No faction alignment system means you can become guildmaster of everyone because that makes sense - Can't pick lock on quest door despite skill level - Quest markers remove sense of discovery (game is very unplayable if you just ignore them considering the "journal" doesn't tell you crap). - Morrowind and Skyrim both have the chosen one theme but Morrowind is a much slower and earned buildup. Skyrim you find your first shout after going through a basic dungeon with game journalist difficulity puzzles. Morrowind you are required to earn the trust of multiple houses and prove your prophized title through a series of quests. Similar to finding power armour extremely quickly and being able to use it with 0 requirements in Fallout 4. If you claim the male soldier should have the required skills to use it then why do all your gun and other military related skills start at zero? If a female lawyer can use power armor with zero training then why hasn't someone else moved it considering it's powerful enough to kill a death claw? It's fine if you like Skyrim/Fallout 4, 3 or Starfield but calling them the best is pure lunacy.
Bro with all the respect. Skyrim isn't that great man. Oblivion and morrowind are honestly cooler and better. The only thing carrying skyrim is good graphics and the modding community. Look, I sometimes reinstall and play, skyrim is an okay to good game, but it's not that great or a one in a million, its not a one hit wonder. Its not bad, but way too overhyped and overrated. It's really not a masterpiece. I play it quite a bit sure, its a fun viking north winter game. But i played witcher 3, vampire the masquerade bloodlines and fallout new Vegas much much much more because those are masterpieces. Another good elderscrolls game is eso, its very good. Other than that I personally dont think Bethesda would make a great game, because they haven't in a while and their best title Fallout New Vegas isn't even made by them.
Lol, you think you're going to stop anyone from playing how they want? Nope. That's insanely controlling behavior, and I wonder if you are this way in other aspects of your life. 😂😂😂 Cheers.
I can't stop either. I play others but I always come back.
Same here
I'm hoping Avowed comes through
I just hope when I go to sovngarde myself my life goes to black and I wake up to...
"Hey you,you're finally awake,you were trying to cross the border right? Walked right into that imperial ambush,same as us. And that thief over there."
“Damn you Stormcloaks. If it wasn’t for that ambush, I’d have stolen a horse and been halfway to Hammerfell.” 😂
@Duendito "Were all brothers in binds now,thief."
Skyrim feels like my second home really.

I... am the same. I just can't stop. It's my personal sandbox, my own RPG maker.

I came to accept some time ago that, for as long as I am physically capable of playing a computer game, Skyrim will be a part of my life.
This video sounds like it was written by a robot
HE A SYNTH!
It’s an AI voice-over for sure.
"or is it overrated"?
I only have 5000 hours in the game, I will answer this when I finish it.
Dude, yesterday I was looking at the Skyrim cover for like 10 mins while my son was asleep. Simple times, great times.
Recently installed it on XsX with about 110 mods and it's like playing it for the first time all over again.

The trailer is still amazing to this day
Still playing for years ❤
Not even Gacha games can stop me from coming back to skyrim.
Plus the goon cave of mods.

It's prolly because it was made with a lot of love and they were passionate about it 😊

What mods are you using in the images of the video? There is an modpack?
Plagiarize much?
Seriously. This is word for word THIS video.
ruclips.net/video/YxYVmK3KTpI/видео.html
Yup. Looked at both transcripts and let Razbuten know. And now I am reporting this channel. Thanks Superman!
Bro you have copied someone else’s script for this video haven’t you?
"...Why Skyrim" by Razbuten
AI voice
been playing since release and still playing damn near everyday lol
Can someone tell me what mod they're using in the video to make the NPCs and characters look different?
It’s probably Nolvus.
The cherry on top of everything else you mentioned is the amazing soundtrack. As you said, the game invites anyone to open its doors to a world of fantasy but the music makes the game feel like home, for me anyways. Great vid and keep up the good work
All I play is vanilla

Lol. I can't stop playing too. I can't stop editing my mod list so i haven't finished the game after all these years.

AI VIDEO.
Mass Effect, Skyrim, Fallout New Vegas. Rotate and come back every so often..
Skyrim is basically a fantasy sandbox
I swear to the god,this game is GOAT with mods
skyrim is fun i enjoy the exploring about as much as i enjoyed dark souls exploration,
maybe alittle less. skyrim needed more spells an i wish they had added spears an 'whips'
like how morrowind had
idk if there is ever going to be a game like skyrim but i also don't know if i'd ever want a game like skyrim
again
horses flying though the sky or walking 120 feet above the ground, rides an horse animation mishap swapping
ai an scripts just not starting there second script..
windhelm solitude an the cival war where interesting re-imagining of there location or where it could be oblivion had sewers an whiterun, solitude an windhelm could have also had them as alternate entrances
For those who can’t stop playing: what do you do in the game? Aren’t you done with the main story or side quests?
We replay them. (Not main quest tho).
1:45 Ever heard of collateral damage? Don’t criticise the game for something that is realistic
I never get time to play the game since I'm always just modding it.
I just started Lorerim and wow what a modlist
There will be another game like Skyrim.
In fact there have been three more games like Skyrim
They’re all the BGS games after Skyrim. :)
Best game ever created.
We live in completely different times to 2011. Unfortunately.
Nolvus has stepped into the chat...
Brother only just now recognized the obvious trend. Daggerfall fans only got the single game. Morrowind fans never got a true sequel. Even Oblivion fans got shafted. There will never be a Skyrim 2.
Skyrim is my favorite game especially modded… I upgraded my pc for Skyrim, not for these new games coming out
Nice copy of Caleb A. Robinsons video.
Very cool!
It is a 1:1 copy of "...Why Skyrim" by Razbuten.
Never say never.
Nahh, seems like you just straight up copied another videos script and molded it to your own using AI.
This is AI?
Sorry to say, but shows like the lord of the rings and Game of throwns, has little to do with the success of Skyrim, the first player aspect of discovery is what made it good, i never watched game of thrones, till it was released on DVD s, as for the lord of the rings, i read the books when in elementary school, and the movies, though fine, didn't share the same story as the books, that being said, people just wanted to try something different, and liked what they found in Skyrim
New Vegas was not created by them
Skyrim is modding framework as i say
I can't stop uninstalling it. 😂😂

Skyrim is the fallout 3 of elder scrolls.
The best one

Iconic Iconic Iconic Iconic zoomer zoomer zoomer so tired of these echo-chamber bait videos. Play Morrowind, problem solved.
Sorry, but Morrowind is the best ES game... Now that game has flaws, but I cannot let go of that one... Still in my top 5 games of all time!
Not a dude; whole video is ai
Try kingdom come deliverance. It's on sale for.the holiday
Tried it... goddamn the combat is hard.
Skyrim is overrated. Good world but still feels dead.
You can give both letters to Camila , I'm starting to think you didn't play the game but watch RUclips videos on it, 👎🏾

Downvoted for mods. Play vanilla Skyrim or don't play at all.
Lol, you think you're going to stop anyone from playing how they want? Nope. That's insanely controlling behavior, and I wonder if you are this way in other aspects of your life. 😂😂😂 Cheers.
Should have honestly downvoted because this is stolen content from Razbuten. Cheers.
skyrim is shallow and bad and morrowind is better
The combat in Skyrim is boring as shit, Witcher 3 is night and day a superior game. Get over it.
This video is like a copy of the video "...Why Skyrim?" from Razbuten. What the hell? 🫤
