The lore is deep at this point, and it’s wonderful, no matter how many times I’ve ran through the town of Whiterun.

I love the interaction between races, and that while playing as a Dark Elf, folks constantly reference the providence of Morrowind. The side quests and role-playing aspects are still phenomenally good. The main questline is a lot less satisfying the second time around, and begs the question if it was ever good enough to warrant all of the “Fus Ro Dah” memes.īut like most Bethesda games with a mediocre core plot, it’s all about the journey. But even during that high point I could never shake the fact that the realm of Skyrim itself wasn’t as impressive as other areas of Tamriel, an observation that’s still true today. I mostly piggybacked off of my insanely overpowered character that I started way back when, jumping back in to check out the latest total conversion mod and the occasional DLC release.

It’s been years since I started a fresh story in Skyrim. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition (PC, PS4, Xbox One ) So here we are at the launch of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition, and I’ll be taking my time to go back through the game. Whelp, Bethesda isn’t sending out review copies before launch anymore, even though it saw fit to send copies to YouTubers.
