Watching G*mers slowly realise Skyrim is dogshit has been an experience

I was watching "...why Skyrim?" by Razbuten on sloptube this aft and it's so weird that it finally took Starfield for people to realise. Like Fallout 76 wasn't enough, only now are negative things people were first saying about Skyrim in 2012 finally bleeding into mainstream consciousness. It's so wild, like wow they ruined the magic system? The game has worse writing than a PS1 era Mega Man X game??? Skyrim is just shitty Game of Thrones?? Welcome to thirteen years ago!!

Bethesda hasn't made a really good game since 2002, but it'll probably be years before that realisation sinks in.

  • i can somewhat agree. skyrim wasn’t a great game, but i had a lot of fun playing it. that being said, 95% of the time i spent playing it was with intense modding. without mods i dont think it has much replay value, or even play value. but mods can make the magic system better, make combat more challenging, make skill trees more complex, etc.

    but the plot sucks, the lore is lackluster compared to every other TES game, they took out p much all RPG mechanics, combat is mind-numbing, characters are flat (i want a mage with dementia to tell me she wants a bow that smells like yams only to say never mind when i bring it to her). it is objectively a worse game compared to morrowind by a long shot, but morrowind was a masterpiece. skyrim is fun and if you have 100 mods can even be a good game
