#32: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim When I first saw this game on the eshop in 2019 I had never heard of it before but it looked very appealing to me. So I got it and sunk several hundred hours into it before ever looking it up. I had no idea that this game was such a big deal before that. And deservedly so. It's fantastic. I didn't nearly do everything there is to do but alot nonetheless. The amount of different quests and stuff to do is staggering. And it never feels like filler. I liked reading some of the huge amount of books you can find anywhere. What's also great about Skyrim is how cheesy it is. Less than Oblivion from what I've seen, but the stuff some NPCs say is just hilarious and the bugs (didn't encounter that many actually) are more funny than anything. The leveling system is very cool and the shouts are like items in Zelda games, allowing you to do stuff you previously couldn't, like screaming people to death and making them nervous. It's a very well designed game with it's only real drawbacks being the a bit repetetive dungeons (although the puzzles are great) and the clunky combat. Other stuff like some NPCs dialogue not changing after you literally become their guild leader doesn't detract from what is a otherwise a highly intricately designed world. In the end I sunk over 500 hours into Skyrim and it was a ton of fun. |
A little sad for me that Skyrim was your first foray into the franchise. But you definitely aren't the only one.
