Anyone here play Skyrim? How long since you've played it?

I haven't played it since after the Legendary Edition was released. I just find it really dull, the only fun is with mods and the funny things about it I have to admit is the werewolf bug where you enter first person and the NPC you initiated the finishing kill animation has their face covering almost the full screen and an invisible entity throws them off screen while you listen to their sounds.

I found my experience to be like this: enter copy pasted cookie cutter dungeon, kill all the draugr in sneak mode(since it's either over powered or the AI is stupid..or maybe a bit of both), loot anything like(potions, money, gems, ect) while leaving all the useless armor and weapons, head to player owned home, sell anything of value, rinse and repeat.

Been a long time. I've been getting too lazy to install mods, and Skyrim on PC's not really worth the bother without mods.

Same for me when it comes to Skyrim/F3/NV, i want to play all of em but since i formated my computer i can't be arsed to get the mods again. I have done 100% of skyrim before tho - the dragonborn dlc and i was close to 100% F3 before i started playing NV again. Should really go trough all 3 games one last time some day.
 
nope since witcher 3 comes out, which....basically beat all open world fantasy rpg i think
 
I played Skyrim last summer and was left feeling pretty underwhelmed. I put some hours in, finished the main quest, didn't even bother finishing Dragonborn, hated every single dragon fight with a passion, and wasn't compelled in any way by any story or quest. I liked some of the scenery, but I don't play games for the scenery.

Also, it was waaaaay too easy (fucken levelled lists), the dragonborn spells (tha'ums? I forget) were all useless filler, and just meh. Meh in general.

Maybe I'll play some modded Morrowind in some time. Gonna try and find some good RPG mods for that (I want to join House Dagoth), and just go with that. Never finished Tribunal or Bloodmoon so there's still lots to do there. Or play Daggerfall even, which I've never played (shame!).
With Oblivion and Skyrim I just didn't care for the story AT ALL. Just series of nonsensical events after more nonsensical events.

Also, why Bethesda decided that it was a good idea to hire like two voice actors to do all dialogue in four games is a mystery to me. I'd prefer it if they only voiced some important characters or none at all maybe even, except for greetings, as that leaves room to write much, much more dialogue (see Morrowind once again). Although maybe it's a good thing they didn't write too much dialogue, as it seems they fired all the good writers. Speaking of voice actors, in Morrowind the Dunmer sounded fucking grim, while in Oblivion and Skyrim they sound like santa's little helpers.

Goddamnit just thinking about Skyrim ticks me off. I don't want to be a snob or anything, but Skyrim was nothing more than a series of dungeons and boring dragon fights with little to no substance and 90% filler. Even the Daedra quests were boring as hell, which in Oblivion were *some* fun at least.

But to answer your question, yes, I've played Skyrim. Excuse the rant.
 
I agree dopezilla, I thought the crafting system was super broken to the point that loot with armor and weapons was pointless as I could make better things after making iron daggers and jewelry.
Nothing you do matters either as the Jarl's wizard still acts like a dick and thinks you should head to the Winterhold school even though you're arch Mage.
Don't get me started on NPCs that repeat the same dickheaded lines like Nazeem's "Do you get to the cloud district...", I sent him to the cloud district. Anyways this game is very lackluster and shallow once the initial feeling of it subsides.
 
I haven't played for over a year, but I put a lot of time in. It was a joke as an RPG, but a really fun stroll playing game, especially if you went insane with mods. I spent more time both creating mods and configuring stable mod lists than I do with most entire games.

I've also taken more screenshots in Skyrim than in every other game I own combined, though I don't usually take them at all.

I'd love to see a modded Skyrim-like hiking sim mixed with an RPG like FONV. That would be an epic game.
