To me Skyrim is one of those games i go to just explore the wilderness. The tundra, the alpine forests, and the auroras in the night sky. It's such a beautiful game, one that you can just walk and explore.
It's truly a zen moment.
I'm in the same boat every word. Skyrim is in my identity.
I started a playthrough recently were I made my character have a background and a certain way to think/act. As it is also my comfort game, I've finished it dozens of times but I have discovered so many hidden dialogues and endings to quests that I had never seen in my 12 years of playing it, as I had never really role-played before. It's safe to say, too, that I possibly will never be tired of it seeing how entranced by it I am as a grown 23 year old. There is really something about it that I might never feel with even my other favorite games
Skyrim was the game that accompanied me through my darkest times when I was a teen, and I look back at it fondly. It's a bittersweet memory that I choose to embrace. While I haven't played Skyrim since then, I love watching videos about the game, especially stories like yours. Maybe I should give it a go. Thanks for the video!
You should! I love returning to Skyrim every few years, as I did again recently. It's always worth it
I actually wasn't very big into gaming, but was donated a Xbox 360 and a copy of Skyrim while my girlfriend (now my wife of 9 yrs) and I were living dirt poor in a one bedroom apartment right after college with no cable or internet. This game brought back my imagination that I thought I had lost growing up and introduced me to open world games. This game will always be my choice if I'm stuck on a desert island and can only bring one game. Without this game I never would have played the Fallout series, RDR 1 & 2, Bioshock, Witcher, or GTA. It also open me up to the whole fantasy genre, including Game of Thrones and Harry Potter
I'm actually back on Skyrim thanks to playing through the Wildlander mod pack. Best thing I can say about Skyrim is Bethesda created an imperfect game but a perfect playground for the creativity of the community to run wild.
I was 45 when this game came out, (my first video game was Dungeons of Daggorath), and to this day, I love playing it. The ability to explore and be amazed at the views, go questing, craft to my hearts content, or a dozen other things, makes it feel like home even now. Think I'm going to go dust it off and play again.
It's unreal hearing you were 9 when Skyrim came out... I was 19 and watched the reveal trailer at midnight at university when some mates were pulling an all-nighter for an assignment. I was actually a massive Oblivion fan and put like 200 hours into that game when I was 15 so when I played Skyrim I was initially disappointed by how some systems seemed to have been more simplified or even missing. It's nice hearing a well thought out and introspective voice from your generation that grew up in what I consider the biggest leap in gaming both in gameplay and tech (the PS2 to PS3 era) because modern gamers will never have that big of a difference in generations again.
I am chuckling while thinking "and here I was just shy of 31". I was disappointed at the getgo as well. It took SkyUI before I liked the game since I despise that GUI. (it works for a gamepad, 104% failure for a PC) Now I have a playtime in the low 5 figures.
Even then, with that said. When I was using the original vanilla game (with official patches and dlc) as a performance test with my Steam Deck back at the end of 22 or beginning of 23 (I have played oldrim on more hardware than any other game at this point, so it makes a great benchmark for me). I planned on running through Helgen, perhaps Bleak Falls Barrow. Then use the coc command (center on cell) to bounce around the map checking various places. Well I started that, then about 50 hours later I realized that I had just played it for over 2 days straight. Ended up with around 150 hours of playtime (with an additional 10-25% more time when you consider all the loaded saves and whatnot. Keep in mind that as this was a performance test, I only had the official stuff installed. No mods whatsoever, not even the unofficial patch. (also note that I don't understand why people start having trouble pulling multiple all nighters a week on a weekly basis after their 20s... >_>)
addendum: ended up with an average framerate (including everything with the game on, loading screens and all) in the mid 50s, with it capped at 60 (there is a counter for drawn frames that you can bring up in the Deck's performance stuffs, take that and the time from the save file and you can easily do the math fairly precisely... I forget how many frames now, but it was somewhere around 5 or 6 million frames iirc)
addendum 2: I abhorred Morrowind and completely passed on Oblivion due to how much I utterly hated Morrowind. But by the time of 11/11/11, I had stopped caring about the earlier TES games altogether (Seriously, I had forgotten that Oblivion even existed by then, that was how little I cared). So I was basically going into Skyrim being about as neutral as possible and without any baggage or preconceptions (good or bad).
Did? No I still play Skyrim, modded and vanilla. Every time Fevvy uploads a build I make it alongside them.
My favorite time of the day is going into the skyrim world before bed and just explore and watch the beautiful world and perhaps even a little adventure
Skyrim is a game that I have just carried on going back to and doing another playthrough modded and un modded since 2011. I remember the hype up to release. 13 year old me being a bit disappointed at first on release day ( I played oblivion and a lot was removed/changed from that ) but I stuck to it and it quickly became something special to me. I put a stupid amount of hours into the game on 360 and hit the cap of what was 81 at the time. Doing multiple other playthroughs and getting all achievements. Years later the modding scene gets bigger and better and my brother gets a PC again ( we had one but it was much older and couldn't run anything like Skyrim well, was used for older games ) I modded Skyrim on it and played there on and off. I stopped playing for a while till the PS4 release in 2016, got it again on sale and re did the entire 100% on that on top of a modded playthrough and more. Doing another playthrough rn on a heavily modded version, running over 2000 mods. I have gone back to this game and played so much of this game yet it never gets boring to me, modded or un modded. Its something truly special and I am worried that TES6 wont capture that again.
Really good video you deserve more subs and views 👍
I’ve finally gotten into Skyrim! I tried since launch on the switch on and off but wasn’t enjoying it and gave up a couple years ago but a month ago I felt the urge to give it another try and did now I can’t put it down! My first play through was just a nord warrior build and it was boring to me but this time I’ve basically made Legolas and I’m having an absolute blast! Wish I did an archer build in the first place.
I remember the first time I saw this game as a kid, it was actually my mum playing it and I remember just sitting there amazed at this massive world she could explore, as up to this point I probably just had a nintendo ds with mario or something. I don't fondly remember the first time I managed to get my hands on the game but it was always my favourite game growing up and I even made one of the best friends I ever had through a shared love of Skyrim, I will probably always come back to this game as like you said it just feels so comforting to me.
Agree with pretty much everything you said however I do think the modding community in this game is awesome, great vid.
Awesome video man keep up the good work!
Got Skyrim day 1 back in 2011 on the 360 when I was 18 it's my favourite game of all time always play as the same race on all platforms still play it even now
Countless hours and lost days playing this game
No guns no cars just swords magic and bows and arrows fantastic
Do not bad mouth Skyrim I will not hear it
Honestly, I've tried to rack my Brian on why I love Skyrim. Like the combat is actually garbage, the characters aren't all that interesting, and the plot is serviceable.
But there's something to the world of tamriel that is just special. The world is just so magical, it lifts up everything around it, it makes the characters interesting, the plot exiting, and the combat becomes decent. I've watched hundreds of hours of Skyrim lore videos because the world is so perfect.
Modding is also a great benefit to Skyrim, because now that I'm old and cynical and have higher standards I can download mods to improve the aspects I find lacking.
poor Brian..
Bethesda, when they started the development of Skyrim, correctly identified that the most important thing for an open world video game like The Elder Scrolls was an exceptional art and environment design above all else.
Because Bethesda games aren't about the writing, they're about the world design and immersion.
They're dungeon-crawlers, not RPGs in the sense of something like a New Vegas or a BG3.
Funny you mentioned the orc 2 handed build . After many restarts on skyrim bc of many different reasons I finally settled on an orc and used both the stealth bow and two handed builds and I did get the ebony blade . I slaughtered everything in that playthrough . So much so I used Wuthraad for forever before changing to somethin else by the time of the Dragonborn dlc
This game got me into the fantasy genre as I was a motorsport sim racer before. Such a beautiful soundtrack...completely sucked me in. (I still play it to this day, lore friendly mods included)
I agree with 99% of the video, Skyrim is just levels above the music,Npc’s, scenery are insane. It’s the only game I can walk around get lost in nature or stroll around a town as if I were really there.
Well done 👏
I agree with everything. I just got into Skyrim since 2011, and even then, it was my older brother who mostly played Skyrim while I sat and watched. A couple weeks ago was my first time actually deciding to play Skyrim and I absolutely love it. The OST, the fact that if you climb a mountain, you can see White Run is just so cool. I can only imagine what the next Elder Scrolls game is gonna be like. One thing I hope is that cities/towns are scaled more properly.
But back to me getting into Skyrim, it really set me on course to get into the whole series of The Elder Scrolls. I watched lore videos, ice bergs, theory's, and so on. I remember when the Skyrim Trailer's started to come out in 2011 and even before, I was 9 I think. Is it strange I feel nostalgic for a game I didn't really play until recently? I absolutely love Skyrim, the world itself is insane. It's big. It's filled with a bunch of things to do. The only thing I noticed recently is what you said, the trend to hate Skyrim because it's not Morrowind. I consider most Morrowind fans to be the ultimate gatekeepers of the franchise.
To conclude my take, I hope with TES 6 or 7, we get something truly big and amazing. Like, imagine exploring all of Tamriel in a single game. That would be insane. Depending on how advanced Starfield is, I think it's possible. I'm not a game developer yet, but what was impossible 10+ years ago in gaming is being done now, who's to say Tamriel would be impossible now or later on..
Love the videos, binged this one and your Open World one! Keep it up and I look forward to seeing more.
Thank you for taking some time to watch through the content! Hopefully we get some great next entries into the franchise
@@Exiled7 honestly, you deserve more subs. I think I saw this video in my recommendation feed but I didn't click on it. It happened 3 or so times so I can say the CZcams algorithm is in your favor for now. I regret not clicking sooner, just like I regret not getting into the Elder Scrolls sooner. Life has been horrible for the past few years, since 2017, and I literally just bought Skyrim Anniversary (the one with everything) because it was on sale. Literally love this game.
I would like to add, I agree with you about mods. I fall in line with playing how the devs want the game to be played when it came out. People always tell me about these Halo mods and I always reply that I couldn't care less. Same with Skyrim. Though, the only mods I've ever installed where the ones that made the Skybox and graphics better. I can only do so much on my Series S.
Thank you for the videos man, seriously. Don't stress it to hard, just do what you think is best for the channel because I am down for anything!
The only mods I absolutely need in every playthroigh is ordinatior, Oden, Apocalypse, Wintersun, and imperious. These, to me, truly make the game I always wanted from skyrim. I also love old kingdom armor and weapon overhaul to make them look better but they aren't a necessity.
I enjoyed the "stories" in the world, like the bandit camp where a wife became the leader of bandits while her husband was trying to find her, or the lighthouse where the family was slaughtered by the Falmer pets in a very sad story. Or the random encounters in the wild that werent even small quests, but a little snippet where a cart was upturned and a small family was murdered by bandits.
I'm with ya bro. Only nitpick I'll say is the menus werent as streamlined as oblivion. When i played a stealth hunter before it became popular and found the items to get 30x damage on my own without guides. Felt amazing going around and one shotting vampires.
They love it for a reason. Skyrim earned its fanbase.
I FULLY RELATE to your tangent about being TERRIFIED playing skyrim as a kid, oh my GOD. i thought i was the only one!! for literal years i never got past the first couple of missions, because even the trek up the mountain to bleak falls barrow TERRIFIED me as a kid. i still loved this game so much, and by NOW i've done basically every single thing in it, but when i was young i would literally create a new save every single time i sat down to play, because the beginning was the only part i was familiar enough with to not have my heart rake skyrocketing every time i played it lol
I’m trying so hard to love this. I’m attempting it in VR now. It’s nuts, being inside that world, face to face with cat people.
I have to give mods *ALL* the credit for getting me to like the vanilla game. One mod in particular, SkyUI. I installed the game sometime within a week or two of its launch. That interface which ships with the game is fine for a gamepad, but wow is it beyond the pale for PC. I hated the vanilla UI so much that I had uninstalled Skyrim within a couple of days and maybe 10 hours of playtime, if that. Then a little while later I became aware of SkyUI and realized that it fixed that which I hated. Since then I have probably spent over a year of my life inside of that game (probably closer to 400 days likely more, 400 days is 9,600 hours btw and I estimate I have a couple thousand more)
(In my 40s now and sleep is still just an option.)
I had the worry about exploring new areas in games exactly the same as you although mine was more bizarre. I played Wind Waker up to Windfall Island but refused to progress for ages. I had a full walkthrough from an old magazine that I'd read multiple times but for some reason still refused to progress and explore
I had these feelings but with morrowind on the original xbox. Id spend days at a time as a young kid combing thru morrowind. I love skyrim and am playing on my switch as i watch this. I just wish they kept the old attribute system. Min maxing my stats just felt like a huge accomplishment
Skyrim is my home
I really feel you with the actually being scared of games as a kid. I Don't think I ever made it past the 1st hour of gameplay just cause I was too scared lol
It's cusytomizable, massive, fun, great music, great gameplay, good story and characters.
Well said.
10 years had passed since I first played Skyrim and haven't had a single mod installed yet. There are people like me just simply enjoy Skyrim as itself. The game is just that great imo.
Indeed, I've finished this game like 4 times the past 10 years, most of the time exploring the whole map and getting every item. And I'm still finding new stuff. I think Skyrim should be that one game that keeps being developed on until its been run dry. Like I mean, maybe two or more DLCs for the next decade or so while they develop Hammerfell and High Rock.
I would love to have seen more dlc for this game
Title should be “Why DO people love Skyrim?”
I love Skyrim. Unfortunately it’s set high expectations for me as far as rpgs go and nobody has been able to hit them except for Skyrim
It’s a paper thin RPG. Definitely check out the Witcher series for a much more rewarding experience.
@@hansolo9585 ive done thousands of hours in skyrim roleplaying and whatnot. the witcher feels good but it doesnt provide the roleplaying of anything that i like you have to play the witcher as well...a witcher
@@PrometheusGuides The thing with Skyrim is that no matter what race you pick, the story and outcomes are exactly the same. You have no real push or pull on events.
Elden ring or Dark Souls
@@TheWESTSIDE1967 I’ve beaten both multiple times. I loved them but they aren’t quiet the same I holds those closer to terraria..a boss killer type of game
I don't watch much gameplay videos anymore either. I like theory videos and long retrospectives, mostly. I do, however, watch a lot of Neebs Gaming. Yes, technically gameplay, but they aren't just playing a game. They are basically making a sitcom out of gameplay. An improvised comedy.
exactly, a game has to be good first before people to have the drive to mod it because if a game is so bad, i'd just drop it instead of wasting time making it better through mods.
I like survival and immersion based mods. Been playing vanilla recently so I can get achievements on Steam. I have a lot on 360, but nobody can see that, including myself.
I wish i played this game when it came out. I recently put 3 hours into it and felt that this game is super rough from a gameplay point of view. Everything from movement to combat didn't feel nice. . I plan on pushing through after the completion of some games in my backlog.
I have grace, balance, and honor in dragon tongue tattooed under my collarbone. I started playing this game when I was 10…and now I’m an adult. Crazy how something that has no obstructive value can fully make millions of our childhoods
Have you played the Dragon Age games? Because I feel like they really encourage roleplaying.
You sure love the word "canvas" dude, but I agree with you, Skyrim is one of my confort games too, so it is not hard for me to agree with your points.
I use it a lot in this video as that’s the main point around the idea of Modding that I’m discussing. Also do you watch videos trying to find points you disagree with? just interested because of the way you worded that final part.
Completely agree on the canvas idea. I myself use Skyrim to roleplay this or that, release pressure and take a good laugh when followers say their phrases ("Oh look ! A cave ! I wonder what's inside !" ... "But Lydia, we just came out of this cave for Pete's sake !") and so on... Modding the game is just a way to see what's possible. But all in all vanilla is just as good.
To your question now.
Short answer : If I'm being honest, yes. Not this time though. Sometimes I just want to chill.
Long answer :
Not all the time, but if I'm trying to understand what's on the mind of people for a particular issue, I must watch videos/listen to people from "the other side" to understand and debate seriously.
For example : Why new games are or aren't worse than older games, or why graphics can be more important than the plot of a game. I give gaming examples but apply this to many world issues, scientific questions.
Aristotle said something along the lines of "It is the mark of a wise mind to be able to discuss a thought without agreeing to it". Or really something close. I watch videos I feel I will agree with because I want to see if the content creator will give the same arguments I could give, I watch videos I feel I won't agree with because the thought process of the content creator and the sources can be interesting and lead to better understanding of the thing that's being thought on.
We can agree on the result without agreeing on the steps leading to it.
We can disagree on the result but agree on those steps, thinking they are can be interpretated the other way.
We also can agree or disagree on all, or partially on the steps and the result, there's a myriad of possibilities.
We also can just discuss without agreeing or disagreeing on things and enhance our love and passion for a subject, hobby... So yeah.
All this text just to say yes. Half of the time I watch content knowing I will not agree but some details can be useful.
The very word "amateur" literally means they do it because they love it. The word comes to English from French, but both the French and English words descend from Latin. The original Latin words it comes from are _amator_ (lover) and _amare_ (to love).
Thus an amateur is someone who does something because they love it, not for some form of recompense. When people argue against paid mods from this vantage point, I argue that their point is very very sharp. (That is, arguing that mods should remain an amateur affair. Once you start getting paid, it becomes game development rather than modding... Goes this line of thought. One that I am inclined to agree with.)
We already have more "micro"-transactions than you can shake a stick at. I honestly think that for Bethesda this had nothing to do with the modding community and everything to do with making the increasing number of microtransactions more palatable. Even for people who just casually looked at what they were doing and never spent a dime on them. Giving modders a spotlight sounds better in PR speak than "increased the size of our workforce" and CERTIANLY costs Bethesda less money than actual proper employees would (given that employees get actual benefits).
I wish I had my 360 hours too. I think I can access my Xbox One hours for SE, maybe. Either way, I play on Steam now and it definitely doesn't reflect the amount of time I've actually played. (Not to mention the time I spent on my illegitimate Legendary edition when I firat switched to PC).
Same for Oblivion.
I am in agreement with one exception. I can't play vanilla Skyrim. I have to have that immersion, like you.
While Skyrim is a deeply flawed experience, it feels like it has a soul. The same can't be said for Fallout 4 and Starfield
those people are gonna be really mad when they rerelease skyrim again to celebrate the release of ES6
also it couldnt be the grandfather of open world games, we had games like legend of zelda back in 1986, and even then there were some potentials before that. skyrim is like the great great great great great grandson. gta3 would be closer to being the grandfather
I love Skyrim. I usually roleplay out some scenarios and embrace it for what it is. This game made people's childhoods. Some fans or elder scrolls fans would argue that Oblivion is better but the popularity of Skyrim is what made this game unique in my opinion. It's not about what is the best, it's about the experience itself. Other than that, love the ES lore and everything surrounding it. Much love to you all! ❤️ 🤙
It's still my favorite game of all time.
“I was nine when skyrim came out”
*Screams internally*
It’s the simplicity
It manages to go thru a lot yet you don’t have to be a pro
Anyone truly can play this game
Skyrim is a special experience for sure. My first open world game may have been Far Cry 2 but Skyrim was by far the game that got me hooked on the genre. At the time it ticked every box for me and I was borderline obsessed with it. I put an embarrassing amount of time in the game and I don’t regret any of it, it was time well spent. Skyrim definitely isn’t a bad game but it’s definitely a shallow experience when you really break it down. It’s a drip-fed endorphin rush and that’s just fine. It really really works for what the game sets out to do. I still don’t think any other game has been able to make exploration as addictive as Skyrim has been able to. It really is impressive.
Skyrim is my #1 game.
People don't understand that bugs are statistical anomalies. They think because they experience a mod, and a few hundred, to a thousand people online experience them, that must mean everybody experiences them. The amount of people that play this game without complaining about bugs actually vastly outweighs the number who have.
No offense, but I think the title of the vid should be "Why DO we love skyrim" since there are plenty of fans out there who still play the game fondly to this day.
Edit: Holy Crap he actually changed the title
I wish i could either play oblivion uodated to be a bit more like skyrim or skyrim with oblivion leveling and guilds haha.
I go back to skyrim more than any other game
Skyrim is my favourite game ever, then the old AC take other spots.
Even though I enjoyed Elden Ring
the best game ever made ! EVEN NOW
Good mods ? Skyblivion soon!
Lol, steam already had a mod market before console did, but it did not work so they removed it. I'd be surprised if they tried it again
It's been shown in the patch notes
I used to stealth archer, a lot. Theae days I try to do a knight build, and switch back and forth between 2 handed, and one handed and shield (sword and board for MMO fans). I do still use archery, but rarely put points into it, and it's the plan C weapon, when I need to kill someone far away without navigating whatever maze it takes to get there lol.
Dull story bro
@@Scitch-et4vk dumb input, bruh.
This game never needed mods to be great. Sure they're a lot of fun, but it would have a long lifespan even with no modding community.
Andúril !
Remember when PatricianTV went and bought every single creation club mod, because he wanted to review them... Just to have Anniversary release right after as a 20 dollar upgrade lol
As a huge fan of the older ES games, (Vanilla) Skyrim is the only one I got bored of, there's no real incentive to make different characters and try different things because almost everything can be done in one playthrough, there are still quests and guilds I haven't even touched in the other games. The scale is laughable even compared to oblivion, and the lack of any really custom builds is a shame for the series that basically invented class custimization.
I also think it's success was bad for the gaming industry as a whole, and this seems to be the start of AAA games coming out extremely unfinished and unpolished,( the previous games are in no way perfect of course)
I'll admit i'm pretty biased haha
I totally agree that Bethesda gets all the heat while others get a pass. E.g. latest assassin's creeds were super bloated and repetitive but gained general praise from the usual outlets... Even BG3 which, although still super cool, is touted as this super polished masterpiece while having many bugs Bethesda would never be forgiven for, including in some cases endings not triggering properly.
Its amazing for what it has but even i feel that it really lacks in some parts. Compared to Oblivion, Skyrim has much better mechanics and look but to me Oblivion has much better quests be it the main, side, faction or dlc.
Skyrim felt like i was an Isekai character being brought into a new world. Who you are doesn't really matter as you can be a Kahjit or Argonian and still be able to enter Windhelm despite those races not being allowed inside. Considering the whole civil war and prejudice happening, they could have really sone more to make a race more than just gameplay alone.
Overall, Skyrim is an rpg GAME while Oblivion is an RPG game. I still love Skyrim but i can only play it with mods now.
Loved it at the time but it’s so old and clunky now. Struggle to try it at all anymore
Just started my first playthrough of skyrim like 3 weeks ago when i get off of work and the weekend it's amazing does it feel old yes BUT the exploration atmosphere world design and world building is top tier its so easy to get lost in this world just roaming around i sdent like 3 hours yesterday just building a house and i was super invested in it lol i wanted it to be perfect
The modding community doesn't get enough credit
yes they do
Mods give me anxiety
Watched the whole thing.
Overall the only part where I agreed is that when you're a kid you're more lenient.
Everything else I don't even know how you can say it with a straight face.
Skyrim is very surface level on everything. To call it a great game is to lower people's expectation to such a low point it baffles me.
How about saying that a pure skinner box is good design while you're at it ?
This video could have been cut down by about 20 minutes jheez.
Don't watch long videos
I remember Skyrim being a bit spooky when I was younger. Sometimes it still happens when I play games like 7 Days to Die. The game feels really eerie to begin with, but some of the abandoned buildings are just nerve racking lol especially since, if you hit the wrong block it might actually collapse!
Oddly enough, despite there not being anything inherently scart in Minecraft, the game is really great at capturing that spooky vibe sometimes.
😂😂😂
Ive unironically spent more time in this game than any other game 😂
Are you going to play Starfield.
Yes
VAnillla skyrim is perfect, mods are fan fiction that I don't subscribe to. I wish I still had vanilla skyrim instead of anniversary addition with all the creation club stuff I don't really like or care for.
did?
Someone recommended me this game, I tried to like it, but the gameplay sucks, I don't know why people like it, honestly.
Hit you with that Donald Trump: "Wrong!"
I never could get into Skyrim because all the AI looked and acted retarded. It made me feel empty in the world. The feeling is like feeling it's too obvious you're in a simulation and you don't want to be there. I also feel the graphics are ugly and outdated. I did not grow up with this game and could not get in to it as an adult.
I adored this game for a long time. I’ve come to realize that it’s a very mediocre RPG with very flat combat. The world is gorgeous to explore though.
I wish i got to play this as a child. I was 18 when the game came out
I was 40. Still playing.
they dont make games like this anymore.. prove me wrong?
I think your section about mods is very uncharitable. You strawman Skyrim modders as people trying to make the game easier or as even cheaters and that is an unnecessarily cynical way of viewing these players and most mods. Most mods are for immersion, just like you said you'd want out of them, but immersion means different things to different people.
Also, why is the vid title only referencing a small section in the full video. This just makes you seem salty about the opinion that mods are an important part of modern day gaming.
This game is overrated. Big time.
Youre in the minority
