Do you like Skyrim or not?

it is a shining turd
you mod it until you hit modlimit and then you never play it again
only good for waifus

>>387983113
I can have fun with it despite it's problems, but as to your question, kinda?

>>387983113
No, it's complete shit and bores me to tears.

>>387983218
This
I recognize it has a bunch of glaring flaws and more often than not I'm thinking about how much better it could've been when I'm playing it, but I can still have fun playing

>>387983113
Vanilla? No its awful in every regard. With mods? It becomes playable and less retarded

>>387983113
It was all right. I didn't feel it was worth any replayable value because it wasn't as great as people said it would be and also because you can do everything with one character.

I like Skyrim but I don't like what it represents.

Does that make sense?

I like it for the comfy aspect

>>387983113
Played it once for two hours and never played it again. Wasn't my thing.

Yeah, it was alright. Unlike most of /v/ I don't really mind that it wasn't designed with infinite replayability in mind, I probably wouldn't have played it again even if it was. I do think they are just talking shit though when they say things like "Even the soundtrack is fucking awful." The soundtrack was good.

>>387983816

yes. I know exactly what you mean anon.
>us gaymurs right rflo

i actually like the fucking game too.

>>387983113
Love it cant wait for the pc vr version i will be gone for half a year.

It attempted to lobotomize me with its "writing". I survived. Stay smart, avoid Bethshit.

oblivion is objectively a better game.

just ignore the story install survival and difficulty mods and you can just play it like a sandbox adventure survival game. and than you throw in porn mods so that you can capture and rape bad guys its good.

>>387983113
Yes, but you play these games so much that every flaw becomes glaringly obvious.

>>387983113
eh i had fun for a while with it but it's in no way a good game

>>387983113
I have more fun modding this game than actually playing it

>>387984313
>>387985567
Bethesda really should just release an open sandbox map with a game editor for like $20 and let people mod a game for themselves to play. Easy money it costs no effort on their end.

>>387983113
yes

Yes, sometimes I just like a chill slow paced game.

I play it to fulfill my scaly girl fantasies.

It's a good yelling stealth archer simulator

It's a game I'm just overall ambivalent to. It just lacks so much polish and refinement and the core gameplay is still absolutely shallow.

At least it's not Oblivion, which I outright despise.

Morrowind is still the best of the three modern TES titles.

It's basically an action game. All the dungeons are chock full of enemies, and are basically big ass corridors where you fight bandit/draugr after bandit/draugr. The biggest problem is that if you mod it too hard to be more like Morrowind, where you don't regenerate things as fast an you need to play smart, it absolutely kills the pacing because the dungeon design remains the same. Morrowind dungeons were usually much smaller, Skyrim gives you half hour long dungeons everywhere which technically means more content but they're really just lazily copypasting the same 5 enemies fucking everywhere in endless ruins.

>>387983113
The quests and the combat are pretty garbage which should mean that the whole game is garbage. However I kinda enjoyed just roaming around, watching the scenery and... murdering guards.

>>387987742
this, if anything the only thing i like of skyrim it's the open world, its atmosphere and the comfy music it has.

>>387983113
How to obtain Dragonborn mode?
Do I have to go to the gym?

>>387983113
It's a decent porn game.

Not a single Todd posted in this thread good job /v/ I am proud

>>387987609
The thing with Morrowind dungeons is that most of them were intended to just be small detours. Journeying to the damn dungeon itself was usually the main feature of the journey. But now and again you'd run across a bigger, sprawling dungeon complex and it'd be a real treat. A surprise even. And if that particular dungeon had a specific powerful enemy encounter or a unique treasure at the end of it it stuck in your memory for future playthroughs.

In Skyrim every single goddamn dungeon drags on forever. You actually feel happy when you find a small one because it means less slogging towards the boss chest so you can gamble on a half decent reward. The looooooong dungeons are just full of the exact same rooms over and over and are deliberately designed to annoy players trying to hoard items (surprise, everyone hoards, so everyone is irritated). You know something is wrong when you play skyrim and you outright ignore forts and such because you just can't be arsed wasting 20 minutes unless you have a quest to go to that specific fort. Or when you're halfway through a barrow and think "Oh look, it's the mandatory frostbite spider section"

>Uninspired combat that feels basic and easy
>Gray and bland world
>Not a single memorable character in the entire game
>Not a single memorable quest in the entire game
>Tiny cities and villages
>Ugly faces and models
No, I don't like this game. Every single aspect of it is mediocre at best.

I've never actually played it so I don't feel like I can judge it properly.

>>387983113
I love it and absolutely despise it. I can sit here and shit on every single aspect of the game and how Bethesda can barely string together a working product, but at the end of the day I enjoyed my time with it and would like to play it again with titty mods and waifus at some point desu

>>387988056
This

The game is like fucking crack, you know it's complete shit and not good for you but there's some inane aspect that keeps bringing you back. I've put so many hours into Skyrim treating it like a survival/living sim where I hunt shit, sell the meats, survive the cold, buy up a property and repeat over and over.

>>387983816
I like what Skyrim represents but I don't like the game.

Does that make sense?

>>387983113
No; huge dissapointment. First 20 hours were heaven; after that it fall flat. Empty world, copy-pasted, weak lore, weaker quests than before, combat and difficulty completely broken.

Dungeons were bad, cities were bad, NPCs were bad, mods never could cover up it's bleakness.

They lost the feeling of ES: instead of very open design (letting player's hand free), quests became rail-roads.

Also, 0 incentive for exploration.

Too bad as the setting and map design was great - even some art was good. Never got to playing Dragonborn - just couldn't pull through it.

I like it just because it gives me something to play for awhile, i also platinumed it on ps3 and ps4, and the longer you play on the same game save, the more buggy the game gets. Was watching my friend play skyrim remaster and he fast travelled on a horse and was floating way above the map and was basically able to noclip and move at light speed

Good anonymous internet user. Those are all very nice versions but haven't you always wanted to play Skyrim on the go? Think about it, you can play Skyrim ANYWHERE you want to. In a bus? No problem. In a train? No problem. While taking a shit? No problem! Only your imagination is the limit. I highly recommend the Nintendo™ Switch version of skyrim!

Speaking of imagination, imagine playing Skyrim in a VR enviroment. You quite literally can't get more immersed than that! You absolutely need that version too! Just think about it, climbing THAT mountain while strapped in a state of the art VR headset technology. Skyrim has never been quite as immersive as that. A must buy, if you ask me.

>>387983113
I had the most fun playing it with a shield, a few over leveled enemies are fun to fight against, it becomes bland past level 30, still have hundreds of hours in the ps3 version

>>387983113
It's a great game. It has plenty of flaws, most of which can be resolved by modding.

The only other Open World RPGs that can compare to Skyrim are Oblivion and Morrowind.

I loved it when it came out.
Then after 300 hours, I started to notice I was desperatly truing to find something worthwhile in the game, and kept addind more and more mods. It then just hit me... the game is shallow as fuck, and always was.

I had fun but the music is better than the game by far

Pretty fun to play but the gameplay is shallow.
The world is more interesting than oblivion but doesn't have much more beneath the surface.
Music is fantastic and the game is immersive.
Some great mods, but nothing fixes the lack of mechanics.

I enjoy playing it, but it had the potential to be a great game.

I only like it for turning it into a survivalist woodsman simulator, playing for three days, and then dropping it for months.

It's alright if you just want to walk around cutting shit up without thinking or trying too hard.

It's the kind of game that becomes much more enjoyable if you smoke weed.

Im glad Im not the only one who has a love/hate relationship with this game. I am a bit of a TES fanboy, and honestly the ways this game fell short for me the most was its writing.

The quest and characters are all super bland and boring and the game takes itself way too seriously. Its obvious it was influenced by Game of Thrones the way Oblivion was influenced by Lord of the Rings, but it fails utterly trying to imitate that.

Not right now, and probably not in the foreseeable future. The vast majority of the game's gameplay loop is boring shit, but it can be a very fun game to explore. But once you've done all the exploring, there's little reason to come back to the game, much like other open-world RPGs. I don't see myself replaying it at any point, even with mods. They can only do so much.

I had a lot of fun with it, but it is my least favorite of the modern Elder Scrolls games and had the most boring main quest and factions. I also hate how much it casualized the series from Morrowind and Oblivion.

I do need to finally get around to playing the DLC, have not had the chance yet.

>>387998012
Both of them are pretty much just more of the same. Dragonborn has Morrowind nostalgabait, but its still the same old boring Skyrim underneath
