so i've always loved skyrim, one of my fav games ever, but i acknowledge its flaws. i thought most ppl were the same as me until a couple years ago when it became cool to hate on it and act like its not good at all?? what r ur thoughts?

personally, i think the atmosphere and map design are top notch, and even if the story is nothing to write home about, it feels appropriately grand to me. not to mention, the gritty artstyle is great and super consistent. i specifically love the heavy use of white highlights to make everything feel more washed out! gameplay-wise it is very shallow and simple, but i never saw that as much of a bad thing. it is supposed to be a simple but fun rpg for just bashing bad guys on the head, idk why it should be on the same level as something like morrowind. this is not to minimize the issues, there are a lot of genuine HUGE issues with the mechanics, but it never felt weird to me that they aren't complicated, that's just not the game it's trying to be yknow? i feel like a lot of this might also be what ill call the "pokemon effect" where people play something an insane amount as a child/teenager and then expect to never get tired of that thing, and then when they inevitably do, they say it's the games fault, it was never good in the first place anyways...

idk those r just my thoughts, what r yours?

i agree! i personally like the quests of oblivion more but i have more hours in skyrim... theres just something about it that makes me want to replay it a lot (although i haven't played in a while). i think people just played better/more modern games and determined that skyrim was bad after doing so despite it being a very influential game. or at least thats how i see it

as someone who is addicted to playing skyrim (modded) and has only been exposed to the other games on a superficial level, i must say that i like skyrim a lot. i like it's appearance, vibes, humor, absurdity and style of it. while i think some things are lacking (mostly depth with some characters) i think skyrim is the best of the elder scrolls series as of right now.

but its just an opinion dont kill me for it pls :D

Dude I love Skyrim so much, i have such a large emotional attachment to it. I vividly remember being so addicted that i would pretend to be sick just so i can stay home and play it. When i was younger it had so much wonder to me, and watching my older cousin shooting bandits with magic, and seeing the blood on the dragons faces after a few hits gave it such a charm that i cant explain, i havent been able to find anything thats given me that same charm like Skyrim did.

Skyrim atmosphere is amazing in my opinion. The surrounding world is nice to look at and the music is perfect.
