The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition

nuff' said

Skyrim vanilla is a bad RPG and Elder Scrolls, its saving grace being the music and atmosphere, why? Because the game removes and streamlines many features from all previous Elder Scrolls games whilst adding little in terms of meaningful gameplay additions. For example there're only 3 attributes, you can't climb surfaces, no spellmaking, factions are smaller and less important, there are hundreds of reasons why this game is bad. But the mods... THE MODS. Skyrim is the most modded game ever made and you can make the game the most immersive and tailored experience you could possibly have. Turn the game into a Souls-like! A character action game! More realistic combat, LESS realistic combat, your choice! There is, quite literally, a mod for almost anything you can imagine now and with dedicated mod lists and videos you can easily find an experience that suits you. The game goes from bad to top tier when modded. Personally, I recommend the "Do Not Go Gentle" mod list (based off Requiem) because it introduces new mechanics and reworks current ones to make the game feel more like an oldschool, hardcore CRPG whilst providing tons of customisation via the MCM.

This is the most immersive, highest quality, and lore-rich game I've ever played. It's true what they say, you don't play Skyrim, you live another life in it. 😊

Definitely better.... Starting my adventure all over again.... I just wish I had waited for the sale.... $20.00!!!! It hasn't even been a month since I paid for it and they released on Nov 11... LITERALLY been one week!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What the heck!!!!

Number inflation that completely breaks their combat system, worthless spells, and a ridiculous double-handed control scheme that makes swapping spells/weapons a nightmare. Terrible story with even worse characters. The voice acting could not have been worse. I was expecting improvements over Oblivion, this was a huge step-backwards. Sadly, Morrowind was a deeply flawed game but still their best product to date.
