The major criticism of Skyrim is that it is "dumbed down". I suppose this was the same criticism Oblivion received after Morrowind, and that Morrowind received after Daggerfall. I suppose this is true in a technical sense. But this game can't be boiled down to the relatively mundane skill-trees and attribute choices. Those are only a small part of a great RPG. Like an Elder Scrolls games, the goal is to give you a massive canvas to live your own fantasy life. This has been true since Arena, and Skyrim does not deviate from this. Join guilds, chop wood, cook, marry, adopt children, live as a vampire or werewolf, complete every quest or murder every NPC you can find. All set to Jeremy Soule's timeless soundtrack, hitting it out of the park for the third time in a row. Skyrim can often be seen as a running joke. The memes, the jank, the way the radiant AI causes NPCs to act. But this is also all part of the reason it still resonates after all these years, we most people reading this review are buying it for the 4th or 5th time (and hopefully the last). There is something about The Elder Scrolls that scratches an itch nothing else can really replicate. The reason they keep selling new versions of Skyrim is because people are drawn to it like few games that have ever been released. And now it's on GOG. Enjoy sinking another 200 hours of your life into it again, everyone.
