I have a lot of time for Skyrim even though it's only got like four voice actors in it and the combat is kinda rubbish and the main story is totally forgettable and it's broken and glitchy but hey I like being an elf and just chillin' in the world and going on a big adventure.

Love Skyrim, playing back again the combat is not what I remembered

Ben bu oyunu skyrim (iyi anlamda)

Although there are many open world games, for me Skyrim is the one that marked a before and after.
Hours and hours of good content in a huge world with freedom to do what you want and enjoy it at your own pace.


FINALLY. Didn't take as long as vanilla FO4 but this game is nuts. I dont think I could have played it so long were it not for the environments, the setting, and the mystique of Skyrim's world. The NPCs are clunky, sure. The dungeons get repetitive, sure. The sense of progression and systems of magic and combat are wide but shallow, sure. But dammit, it's nothing if not a charming game.

Steam
+ Anniversary Edition Upgrade

Skyrim feels like a digital lobotomy

All the melee weapons feel like pool noodles and all the magic is different colored beams. All the junk you pick up is ultimately to sell, and for what? More pool noodles? A different flavor of magic beam?

I don't think this is a bad game exactly, it just makes me acutely aware that every breath I take is a countdown to my death.

I will die on the hill that is this game is the most overrated garbage of all time

Un jeu qui aujourd'hui serait difficilement jouable pour un nouveau joueur, il faut le dire les mécanique de gameplay ont bien trop vieilli, visuellement ça a prit un coup ect. Mais de son temps quelle claque c'était, je n'ai jamais retrouvé un jeu qui m'aura autant marqué. On ne fait plus de jeux aussi ambitieux de nos jours.

Only by playing it did I truly feel the magnitude that this game represented for its generation and the ones to come, as well as its significance for the industry as a whole. The lingering question is: for how long will the echoes of Skyrim resonate?
FUS RO DAH

Special edition fatta bene, e finalmente sono riuscito a giocarmi i DLC.

Merci pour les mods, mais surtout pour tout, même hors mods, c'est quelque chose. Un jeu mythique.

It's still the best game of all time

Au vue de comment le jeu est codé et des animations, ça fait très très peur pour TES6 malheureusement

In reality the base game isn't crazy, especially because of the recurring bugs, the graphics are of the time. The story is cheat tier, like I don't care, I just want to stealth a soldier from the Imperial Legion and reboot the save until I succeed. And after dragging his body then hiding it because damn he's bugged so I killed him to borrow his 43 golds...
But when we start to get into the modding spiral...
Damn damn damn!!!
The impossible is possible, the bugs go away, the graphics improve, the feet are no longer bricks. You are walking in Skyrim, your horse is cheating, the view is beautiful, still funny ragdoll, your shout has never been so powerful.
So thank you modding and the game for allowing great things, except that the base game is great but outdated

This is one of the greatest open world games of all time-- shocker, I know. The amount of things you’re able to do in the HUGE world is incredible. I spent 90 hours and for probably 20 of those I was doing the story. The side questlines are enough for their own games, it's truly incredible. Not to mention the insanely deep skill system and spell list. Every issue this game has is overshadowed by its positives, not to mention the incredible modding system which bumps it up infinitely.

Before diving into my review, I wanted to say that The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was my favorite videogame for a long time; it's the most important videogame of my life, I spent thousands of hours playing it for many years, it's basically my childhood and it feels like coming back home everytime I play it. With that being said, I decided to play the special edition now and I'm gonna review it based on how it aged.
While the plot isn't anything special, the rich lore really makes up for a decent story overall.
The gameplay is still good; the combat system hasn't aged very well, but the game is very addictive thanks to its variety and open world design.
The RPG elements are well executed, the world feels massive even to this day and there's so much side-content to do.
The visuals don't look as impressive as they did back then but the world is still beautiful.
The expansions - Dawnguard and Dragonborn - are great; they add 2 of the best quest-lines in the game, plus some very cool additions into the game.
Also, Skyrim's soundtrack is one of my favorite - if not my favorite - in a videogame, ever.
Unfortunately though, the voice acting didn't age well at all, and same goes for the dungeon design too; many dungeons are similar to each other and they get repetitive after a while.
Lastly, I think Special Edition could've done much better job at updating the game's visuals than it did, and maybe update the combat system as well.

Pros:
+ Rich lore
+ Addictive gameplay
+ Excellent world design
+ Huge world filled with of content
+ 2 very good DLCs
+ Incredible soundtrack

Cons:
- Repetitive dungeon design
- Dated voice acting

Narrative: 6/10
Gameplay: 7/10
Content: 10/10
Characters: ?/10
Music: 10/10
Graphics/Audio: ?/10

Final Rating: 9/10
- Amazing -
It's been over a decade since The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim's first release and this game still manages to offer a very solid RPG experience that holds a special place in my heart.

Do I recommend it?:
Yes, it'll always be a must-play for everyone in my opinion, even for those who don't enjoy playing RPGs.

Um clássico, mas algo que não sei o que me impede de dar 5/5

The best game ever made, five stars are not enough to describe such perfection. GOAT


Such a fun game, love the setting and quests but I'm actually in awe at the amount of game-breaking bugs that are still in this, I just gave up in the end.

Got it for free bc I had all the DLC, but it's just like... a higher contrast...

Genre defining title plagued with poor writing, and neglect from developers. Luckily, Bethesda's lazy ass is saved by modders.
