No 8. You wont be able to get past the first part if you have arachnophobia.

Skyrim is my comfort game and Skyrim has ruined other games for me...

There just isn't any other game that has delivered an experience quite like Skyrim. Believe me. I've tried to find it...

Skyrim is one of those game where freedom is paramount. Many games these days may offer "freedom" in the sense that you can go here and there at any point or take on this quest and that quest and maybe make a decision or two, but Skyrim is the epitome of freedom.

I have spent hours creating a backstory for my character because Bethesda intentionally gives you a blank slate when you start the game so now I can approach quests in my own specific way based on my character's brand of attitude or general overall motivations and it DRASTICALLY changes the way you feel approaching the game in different playthroughs if you allow yourself to roleplay deeply enough. What makes it more "free" though is the simple fact that you don't HAVE to do any of that... You could jump into the game, create a cool character of your choosing and just go do shit! Explore, plunder, attack, manipulate, and conquer the the mechanics of the game however you want and you'll have an amazing time doing it.

Many games may have better graphics, better storylines, better combat or better overall gameplay, but I feel confident in saying no game can match what Bethesda is able to do with so many different mechanics working under the hood of the game's overall appearance. It may not work perfectly all the time, but with a community of modders that have painstakingly created massive bug fixes, no worlds withdozens of hours worth of new content and that just says volumes for what Bethesda has created and so graciously opened the doors of the game itself to be maniupulated in whatever way you can dream up.

The last dragonborn?! Nei the only one discovered yet. There still might be more. Future lore shall only uncover it. Mai'q knows this.

[ShankMugen]

Dragon souls will be difficult to come by. LOL

[Sjekje]

i was an adventurer like you, but then i took an arrow in the knee

[Jack-fhqh]

some are wrong... the reason the empire gave into the dominion is because they were about to be destroyed. they surrendered, and were forced to agree to the white-gold concordat... also, you are most likely NOT the last dragonborn, just the most recent one.

The high king of skyrim was NOT assassinated!

5 years ago. Still playing to this day like its 11-11-11. Good god I love this game more than any other game ever created

[stevensantos]

Here in 11-11-22. 11 years later and this game still has me learning things. Even after 5 playthroughs

Great video, but I disagree with the part that said "the story will act dynamically based on your actions".

There are very....very....very very few cases in which this can happen. (To be honest I can only remember on the Civil war conflict.... and the "action" was pretty much the first thing you did in the chain quest... "what faction will I side?"... after that the civil war quest was just as linear as any other. 

Skyrim is amazing, has several things to do and the modding community makes me keep playing to this day.  However, we can't lie to ourselves and claim the quests aren't linear....because they are...

...Radiant Story;" WHAT THE FUCK?

[Raez_XL]

2016 and i'm still playing the basic version. Amazing replay value. A gamer's must have.

You aren't choosen by the gods, you were just born with a body of a mortal but the blood and soul of a dragon.

[noemidanihelova]

Damn.. I haven’t even realised it was 9 years ago and I still love this game, I would love to play it again, it was my favourite game when I was child and it is still my favourite game now ✨🦋
