oh yeah? Name 37 things it does right.

It's fun to dick around in, but when you compare it to the other TES games, it's bad

I just don't get how anyone can take it seriously.

Kill Mochizuki, Doorborn.

The magic of video games is that not everyone has like the same things

After discovering games like Honey Select and TK17, Skyrim became even less fun to play.

It's an example of something that is greater than the sum of its parts. Most individual aspects of Skyrim are bad (combat, magic, puzzles, customisation, quests, story, etc.) But it still manages to be enjoyable enough to sink over 100 hours into.

There is most content in the game than people give it credit for. The worldbuilding isn't as obvious and a lot of it is lazy but it's really truly detailed, at least on a macro scale, in ways that no other game is. There is a reason it has a huge amount of players still to this day and why it resonated so much with normies.

There are also people on this board who actually like Oblivion. There's a variety of posters here, and some are retarded.

*Skyrim isn't as bad as you guys say it is with mods

>Honey Select and TK17
>One sounds like a coomerbait dating sim, the other is a Turkish Airlines flight

Basado, Skyrim externally BTFO

>Skyrim isn't as bad as you guys say it is
True. It is worse.

It's honestly not bad in vr.

true, i have fun with it to this day

gameplay wise its shit
story is cringe
monster level up as you level up
alchemy/leveling system is busted
99% of the world is empty
loot is trash because everything selfcrafted is better
lack of skills
combat is boring and slow

whats the appeal of the game?

I think he's making a joke that the only value in skyrim are porn mods

It's amazing. One of the best games of all time.

Oblivion is great as an unintentional comedy. If you like it as an actual game then yeah you are probably retarded.

Something something freedom

Morrowshit made me lose all the desire to play TES games. Also the symbolism is shit in Skyrim.

most of skyrim's reputation is hype backlash because you had people praising it as the greatest shit ever
in reality it's mediocre-to-decent and can be pretty good if properly modded

refer to How come something like VtMB gets a bunch of praise despite a shit story, absolutely dogshit combat, and a very weak RPG system where people say the "atmosphere" is good but Skyrim doesn't get the same praise for a very immersive world?

VtMB's writing and dialogue are fantastic and very few games are as friendly to actual Charisma-style builds. Skyrim's worldbuilding is alright but the actual story is pretty ass.

Every ~2.5 years, I spend dozens of hours modding Skyrim or Oblivion. I put together hundred/s of mods, physics injections, all sorts of expanded content, textures, in-depth overhauls of game systems, and more. It takes a lot to troubleshoot and get it working 'just right'.

I then boot up the game, play for around 2 hours; long enough to verify it's all working perfectly. And then i quit, uninstall and come back 2 years later. I've done this probably 5 times.

it's not bad, it's decent. most hate comes as response to cunt's that praise it as 2nd cumming of christ

I love crouching behind Astrid and staring at her ass while she walks. I've even gone as far as beating off to her while she was bent over a table staring at a map or something. Skyrim is great

skyrim is good enough with mods, vanilla can be boring but some quests are okay.

The thing that woke me up to how dull the whole experience was, is the Thieve's guild. When all is said and done with the Thieve's guild, we get to the end, and our options are: do what Karliah says. I sat there and thought to myself, what if I wanted to go on bandito adventures with Mercer? What if, despite knowing he's a cut throat bastard, that's the kind of guy I wanna go on an adventure with? Well, I couldn't, because Bethesda had made that choice for me. As they've already made every other choice for me. There are no options in Skyrim, it is a game that is so consistently on rails that when you are afforded the opportunity to do something creative, nobody does it. Why? Because the game has conditioned you into being creatively bankrupt through deprivation of choice in every way that should fucking matter.

FO4 also showed me something: Bethesda can't do fantasy. They're really bad at it. Playing FO4, you come across breweries, dock yards, factories, comic book shops, museums... in TES, you come across a lot of Draugr dungeons. What happened to shit like Pale Pass? Or the painting world? They lack the imagination to realise a fantasy world beyond 'WELL IT'S KIND OF LIKE WILDERNESS WITH SOME HUTS AND CAVES'. It's not a good fantasy game.

t. was bein racist in greggs

Skyrim and Fallout 4 use borderline pavlovian gameplay loop of
>find a place
>kill everything
>loot everything
>get a quest/complete a quest
>repeat
exploitative psychology 101
beyond that, the gameplay mechanics are fucking barebones, crushing majority of quests themselves are as bland as it gets and the games give you handjobs for performing the most mundane tasks, falling back on exploitative psychology once again

Like if /v is relevant in criticism. Skyrim is good everyone likes it. Killer soundtrack. Never touched an Elder Scrolls game but I can understand the critical acclaim. Faggots here just want back their Windows 95 to play Oblivion again

Skyrim isn't as good as casuals think it is.

Horse riding
Magic
Quests
Graphics
Modding
Soundtrack
Multiplat
DLC
Setting
Dialogue

Runs well
Combat

Companions
Dark Brotherhood
Thieves Guild

It's absolutely abysmal game, if you play it after finishing Enderal.

>Magic
Destruction in Skyrim is notoriously useless and magic in general is the weakest playstyle
>Thieves' Guild
HAHAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHAHA

he said name things it does right you fucking mongol

>Name 37 things
>Lists 18 things

The absolute state of Skyrim brainlets

I wrote down a point for everything but the only things that is "ok" on your list is modding.

The rest is a huge downgrade compared to previous iterations in the series.

Stop shilling this shit

I like it with porn mods but even without them I initially found the game alright.

Which quests are even okay? It's all the same "go to location, kill everything at location, fetch thing at location". There's no quests where you can deviate from the objective given to you and zero roleplay opportunity. If the roleplaying is ass, then the gameplay and combat should be good but it isn't either.

That’s literally 90% of the quests in any TES game ever
