Retired because messing with mods and the stupid fucking dyndolod deleted my saves and I don't feel like starting again.

I think the reason most people hate skyrim is that they view it as an rpg. And honestly? Yeah, it is an horrendous rpg. But, if you ignore the false advertising that tries to convince you it is rpg, and start viewing it as an exploration game with very light rpg elements, you can have a great experience travelling skyrim, as it's indeniable that journeying across it at night while secunda plays and you contemplate the moons is a very satisfying experience.
