codeorama Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 Who else is going to be playing Skyrim again? Anyone playing for the first time? Anyone never stop?? I beat Skyrim 2 times on the Xbox 360, once on the PS3. I preordered it for XBOX One. I chose XB over ps4 because of the mods (PS4 won't have nearly as many). Anyone have any mods to recommend??

Destino Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I just finally got around to Witcher 3 and I'm not sure I want to go back to Skyrim again after I'm done with it. Two main reasons, the first is that the combat system is disappointing compared to other sword and board games. The 2nd being that after an hour the previous point won't matter and I'll lose another 30 hours of my life running around Tamriel. Skyrim is just so much damn fun to play even if in the back of your mind a voice is screaming "damnit this game isn't even that good! Why are we doing this!"

Predicto Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 The amount of content in Skyrim is mindboggling. Combat is awkward and unbalanced, but there is just so much cool stuff in there. I'm not sure what this remastering involves, but if it is just better water textures and stuff like that, then meh. Even more content - well that's another story.

Bang Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I am indeed playing for the first time. I am perpetually five years behind on games, because, really, all i want is a game that will give me a ton of **** to do, isn't ridiculously hard to master the buttons, and lets me relax. Skyrim.. holy hell, I have been playing it for about 3 months now.. i am nowhere near completing any of the storyline,, iam just running around and finding places to explore, monsters to fight nd take things from, and following side quests. Combat is a bit wonky, i tend to lose the opponent. One thing about first-person, nothing figures in any sort of peripheral vision. I figure I will play this for at least another 6 months. Perfect for me. ~Bang Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGoodBits Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I never really have time to play any video games anymore because I have a 9 month old kid but I still occasionally watch YouTube videos of skyrim stuff. Love that game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Momma There Goes That Man Posted October 27, 2016 Share Posted October 27, 2016 I'm getting it. As I've mentioned in the videogames thread, TES IV Oblivion is one of my favorite games ever. I was so hyped for Skyrim and was blown away until I went down into a cave to rescue someone for a mission (1sr or 2nd mission in the game i tried) and was met with a ****ing 30ft spider dropping down from the ceiling on me. So that and all the random spiders in the wildnerness killed it for me. Just couldn't play it. Arachnophobia is too bad. So I am all on this remaster since I can mod out the spiders from the game. Finally I can enjoy this masterpiece. Been dying to play it even more since I finished Game of Thrones over the summer. 3 hours ago, Predicto said: Even more content - well that's another story.

Momma There Goes That Man Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 @codeorama here are some good mods Adds banner flags to roads and borders so you know where you are. Feel like it really adds immersion to the world This one adds trees and foliage to the holds to make them feel less empty. Maybe a touch overdone but I do like the look of a lot of them A bunch of awesome spots in here Starts every time you boot up the game Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JCB Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Can't wait! I never got the DLC, so that makes the remaster a must. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfitzo53 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I'll have to check some of those mods out. I bought Skyrim around Christmas last year when it was on sale with all the DLC for $9.99 on Steam. Playing off an on I still haven't finished it - I don't think I'm even that close. I do love the game, but free time has been in short supply lately. The mods look cool and I'll have to check them out. Anybody know whether saves get transferred to the new version? It's downloading right now, and it would really suck if saved games are stuck in the old version. (I'm on Steam.) By far my biggest takeaway from this thread is that Predicto plays video games.

StillUnknown Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 I don't think i ever finished the main mission in Skyrim. I put in so many hours that after I joined the Assassin's Guild i forced myself to put in a different game and said I would come back and finish. Never touched it again i'll probably get it eventually, but i'm still backlogged on a few games. The only benefit is that usually when I get around to them, they have dropped in price Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

codeorama Posted October 28, 2016 Author Share Posted October 28, 2016 Just some random comments.... I never play Skyrim in First Person except when shooting arrows. I prefer 3rd person so much more for the combat. While the Witcher 3's combat is "better" in a lot of ways, IMO, Witcher 3 is just nowhere near as good (again, my opinion) because you are forced to be Geralt. I also love the lore and background in Elder Scrolls games a lot more (I hated ESO though). I love the main story line and the Civil War story lines in Skyrim as well as the Dark Brotherhood. I really wish they would re do Oblivion as well. The DLC for Skyrim was awesome IMO. Loved the Solsteim and Vampire Lord story/missions. Thank you for the MOD links. After I beat the game without them, I'll have a great time playing with them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warhead36 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 You don't play Skyrim/Elder Scrolls for combat. You play it to immerse yourself in an amazing fantasy world. I too never actually beat the main story, I always end up just running around doing random stuff. I'm probably going to get the remastered version for PS4 at some point as I love the idea of playing it on my couch in front of my big screen with souped up graphics/mods. I played original Skyrim on PC with mods(back when I had a decent gaming PC)and the mods make the game sooooo much better its ridiculous. If you're a gamer with next gen that didn't play Skyrim or played it on a last gen console you absolutely have to get Skyrim with mods. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can pick between like 6-7 races I think one is a lizard race, one a tiger type race, dark elves, wood elves, different types of human builds then choose warrior, archer, Mage/wizard, thief etc to determine what skills are boosted to start and what you develop faster. Then the more you use certain skills like swords the higher that particular skill increases. Tons of armors and weapon types to play around with. Combat is similar to Dying Light but I'll admit it's not as fun and a bit clunkier. However, you do have magic spells instead that you can use to mix it up.

Warhead36 Posted October 28, 2016 Share Posted October 28, 2016 Combat actually isnt THAT bad in Skyrim, just don't go straight melee build. Stealth is quite fun, as is bow and arrow, and magic is awesome. Melee weapon builds suck though as engaging in melee combat is quite clunky. The problem is the non linear difficulty. You die a lot more often early on. Later on once you level up more and get good stuff you just steamroll everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I spent most of the time roaming and doing side quests and leveling up to the point where even dispatching the Wildhunt/Wildhunt King wasnt all that troublesome.
