It really does. It’s such a beautiful landscape and I’ve entered that world about 5 playthroughs and I never get tired of it. It always continues to astound me. It’s my home away from home. You played it in VR? It’s unreal
I'll likely play it regularly for the rest of my life. Morrowind and Oblivion have remained a constant in my life and I don't see any reason why Skyrim wouldn't continue to do the same. The same is true of the Fallout games.
They are masterpieces that will continue to exist forever and they never seem to become too much. I’m about to play morrowind again tomorrow for my next video and I can’t wait!
@@Darkstorm80000 never gets old right!!? I just love the soundtrack for oblivion and Skyrim and I swear I could listen to it all day and night and it never gets repetitive! Best music in gaming history? Witcher 3 also has a fantastic selection..
From Past to Present? Far Horizons? I ALWAYS get the urge to install Skyrim whenever I hear those in a video. It takes me back to November 30th 2011, alone for an extended week-end in my college dorm-room, playing Skyrim 14 hours/day for 4 says striaght, surviving on pepsi, cigarettes, cheap pizza and crispy strips. Now I've got lower back pain and a client with DUI due to a hearing in Court tomorrow... and i still wanna pay a visit to Bleak falls Barrow. Damn, nostalgia is a hell of drug.
I keep coming back to Skyrim because it’s one of the best games period. The replay ability of Skyrim and the fallout games is insane. Even with the bugs these games are still better than their competition both then and now. Imagine coming out with a game today and you’re competing with a game that was made more than 10 years ago. Amazing.
And that’s the thing, they have so much freedom so that you can replay it again and again. But see a game like cyberpunk 2077 has a set story, set side quests etc. eventually you will get tired of that, cuz it’s a same experience. Elder scrolls and fallout give a lot more freedom and space to the player which makes it so it’s not too repetitive. Skyrim came out 13 years ago and it’s still not been replaced and god knows other gaming companies have tried.
Haha awesome! So glad you enjoyed it! Honestly I always come back to it after a certain amount of time. Was playing it on the switch for like 300 hours. Finally took a break and then accidental decided to start it in VR. Here we go again…”hey you, You’re finally awake!”
You describe it well. It's like a home. Other games make me feel to do homework. With Skyrim, I can just chill, walking the street of Whiterun, or punch Nazeem on the face. For adult like me who just get tired after work and don't have much time, Skyrim is the one close to mind whenever I pick the controller.
Yes it’s a game you can just jump into any time and feel a sense of peace and wonder at the same time. I don’t think another game has managed to match this same concept either. So many games have copied the open world concept but then added checklists of repetitive activities whereas Skyrim has a world just as big but with none of that stuff. The only stressful thing is seeing Nazeem lol
Me too! On the ps3, Xbox, pc, VR and switch. Still doesn’t get boring! I just started like my 10th plays through on the VR and I found 2 dungeons and a side quest I’ve never done before immediately lol I cannot believe how they managed to make such a great game with so much content in such a short span of time! It may never be replaced!
Of all the things Skyrim did well at or failed at, they created a world that you want to experience and feel a part of. That's the biggest reason that Skyrim is so good because if you think about it, none of the quests are so fantastic that you'd want to replay them over and over. But the world itself is so fascinating and easy to get into that you can just replay it over and over.
Absolutely! That’s exactly what I mean. When you go into Skyrim, you’re in that world and there is no other like it. If someone said they wanted the exact same experience as they had in Skyrim, you couldn’t really give an exact alternative. You could give games that are similar but not the same. Skyrim is one of the greatest gaming worlds ever built.
I remember when I was 11 and started playing skyrim for I was a huge fantasy enyojer as a kid. I'm 23 now and still I still play this masterpiece every once in awhile. I'm so hyped for the beyond skyrim mods
Yes me too! I’ve been keeping my eye on it and it’s looking so good! I think the mods have kept it alive and going strong but the game just has never been replaced. There hasn’t been a game that has that same vibe. It’s the reason why we keep coming back for more. I’ll do a video on the beyond Skyrim mods soon.
A nord's last thoughts should be of home. I might wander to different lands with various customs and better gameplay, I always come back to the world that first immersed me into fantasy like no other.
It’s just the ambience of the world of Skyrim is unmatched. It feels like home and the sights, sounds and music just hit right. It’s not yet been replaced and until that day, we will always come home.
I’m pretty lucky, I accidentally discovered it when I was looking for a game to play when Skyrim came out. The dude at game stop recommended it to me and I said “why not”. Got it home. Opened it up. Started playing ….. I don’t think I came out my room for days. Literally my so summer was in the house. I “grew out of it” when ESO came out. Then work, adulting, relationships friends and family took priority so during my down time I just watch lore videos. BUT- recently I’ve been back into gaming and I picked up the anniversary edition for PS5. Added mods and it’s been like a whole new world. I never actually completed the game. So I’ve been discovering new things and it’s been feeling like the first time. Especially since it’s been forever.
Haha what an awesome experience. I had the same thing at game stop but for the last of us part 1. Good choice of a game as well. Skyrim has a timelessness about it and the fact you have played it when it came out and then again just recently, just shows you how it manages to continue to be timeless. I think I have played it about 10 times and only ever completed the story about twice. My mate, has played it since release and even to this day has never finished the main story lol
Nice video! You made me think. I agree with you that Skyrim feels like home. I had a break of a couple of years away from the game while I had nothing to play it on. Then I got a Switch and I've been playing non stop for nearly a year. If you have a busy life, Skyrim is perfect for dipping in and out of when you have the time.
First of all, thank you for the compliment about the video, it really means a lot. Secondly, I am a fellow switch fan and how good is Skyrim for the switch!? I upgraded to the anniversary edition and it’s just so nice to have it available on the go. You can play for an hour, exit, come back and never feel like you missed something. Some games I feel like I need to play it from the beginning and not lost the flow, but Skyrim I can dip in and out as and when I feel like it! Switch is such a good console! I’ve got KCD, Witcher 3, TOTK, Skyrim, octopath traveler 2, dragons age 11, RDR, Persona 5, Hogwarts Legacy, just so many RPG games in portable mode!
Ruby!!!! Love to see you and hope you’re doing well! I think I’m starting to be more confident and put more comedy in now! I’m learning every day and it’s still a mystery to me how it all works lol how’s everything with you?
Completely agree. Another reason why Skyrim is such a great game (at least to me) is that the final level (Sovngarde) is just so epic. How it looks, the music, how you navigate through the level, seeing characters you have heard about in the game, etc. It's really something I look forward to when starting a new game.
And the music! The music for sovengarde just gives you goosebumps. It’s so well done! It makes you feel like this really is the place of history of champions! Oh, you said that! Yes it’s an epic moment! It’s just a game that never gets old in my opinion. Very rare for a game to pull that off. Can’t think of many.
To me skyrim has always had a feeling of comfort and coziness it helps me relax and calm myself after a hard day, it's like comfort food. It's also a really immersive game, I mean sure it has plenty of bugs that can take you out of it but when it's working you really can get lost in it. I've had moments where I though I'll just play for an hour or so, but then I look up it's dark outside I forgot to eat drink or go to the bathroom and it's now the middle of the night. I know that a common complaint about skyrim is it's very shallow and very easy, and yeah that's true. But not every game needs to have the depth and difficulty of dark souls. Not every game needs to challenge you.
@@genegene7028 That's cool it's your choice after all, I've done playthroughs with those mods as well. My point is more so that many critics of this game complain that skyrim is far too easy. And I just think you should judge a game on what it tries to do not what you want it to be.
I think it’s the ultimate game just to dip into and spend some time. The formula, however they did it, is like you said comfort food. You can eat that food forever once a week. It just got the formula really balanced. Like oblivion and morrowind are both special games, but Skyrim is special for different reasons. As for the shallow comment, yes it’s not that in depth in terms of RPG or writing etc compared to say morrowind, but it excels in other ways. It’s a game that just happened to appear with magic attached. It’s one of those games that come out once every decade or less where everything just aligned and perfection was the outcome. I’m still playing it today, and will continue to do so. I’ve played it in VR, switch, ps3, PC etc and I could play it again today as a new playthrough and it would never feel tedious or over played.
@@AVVGaming1 Yeah same here I'll never get tired of it, I haven't played it in few months now but I'll play it again in time I'll always go back when I need that fix. I think we'll all still be playing this game when we're 60 or 70 years old, in time we will all turn into the skyrim grandma and grandpa like Shirley Curry haha.
@@TheMysterieRPGguy hahaha we will still be messaging an here back and forth. You’ll be leaving comnents in my “is Skyrim still good after 90 years?” Video lol
I have never played it but know it is a legendary game! There are so many people who keep it alive and share it so that even people who haven’t played know so much about it! The memes are also so good 😂
Yes it is , and because of sooooo many reasons (some even out of Bethesda's hands) i dont think TES VI will ever reach the heights of Skyrim and it keeps on living even years after the release of TES VI.
Todd! How are you mate? Appreciate your comment, it’s got 16 times the details and it just works! lol jk but I do think tes6 has so move to live up to it’s almost impossible to reach those same heights. Even other games haven’t managed to replicate it either.
@@AVVGaming1 I don't even care anymore if TES6 isn't as good as skyrim, because, like you said, it just never gets old and even after 13 years and playing it every year, it still hits the same. I had even more fun this year, because I was trying a deathless challenge on legendary difficulty, with no fast travel or potions or followers, and that also gives a nice tension when you are playing. You always have to think about how you are approaching a fight and always be prepared to what might be on your way. I haven't managed to finish it yet, but that's the beauty of it, I maybe never will, so I can keep trying forever 😅.
Definitely holds up better than most. Played it yesterday. Ambiance does it for me. Overall agree with every word you speak. I only use one mod for enhanced visuals and sound. It’s subtle.
I play it on vanilla on my switch recently and it’s crazy cuz it’s 2023 and I can still play this game vanilla and it doesn’t feel like it’s over aged. And also, it never feels repetitive. Such a good game and we may never see another like it. Ambience is unmatched from any other game either.
Skyrim is simply one of those games that is nice to play for a few hours or a few days at a time. and the VR version of Skyrim is my favorite vr game, of course better with mods, of course what game wouldn't be better with mods? + Lore is also one of the reasons why Skyrim, Oblivion and Morrowind are my favorite games ever. Great Video !
Thank you very much for the kind words! I’m 100% with you that playing Skyrim in VR is an experience I will never forget and a reason to get the VR alone. I also have it on the switch which is a blast to have to play on the go. The only problem with VR is them spiders up close! lol
I play Elder Scrolls games since 2005 when I got my first PC. Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim shaped me, my interest and aesthetic preferences. I have and always will return to these games. But Skyrim... it is special. Just like you I cant really find words to fit why. It an experience - to walk in its world, soak in the atmosphere and lore.
@@michaszpyrka4153 yes and although morrowind and oblivion arguably had more engaging quests and RPG elements, Skyrim just captured an atmosphere which has not since been replicated by any company in my opinion. The world, the towns, the inhabitants, it’s just the perfect blend. It’s a game I have played so many times I’ve lost count but never feel burned out. That will eventually happen with every game but Skyrim seems to be the exception.
Thank you so much! That really means a lot and comments like this make me keep going! Glad you enjoyed the video and hope you enjoy future ones as well!
Psvr Skyrim is unreal. I have it myself and it’s just incredible to play a game that big in a VR setting. Do you think it’s the peak version of Skyrim?
@@AVVGaming1 Honestly, you can play with mods and at 4k all you want, but nothing beats the immersion of VR. It’s the pinnacle of Skyrim gameplay. Like you say, the scale of the world is really unveiled. The caverns are deeper, the halls grander, and the dragons are much more fearsome. I wish it were on PSVR2, but that’s never gonna happen. However, some of the more relaxing parts of the gameplay are lost. Waiving your arms around for hours wearing a heavy headset does detract from the calming exploration. Still, I’d say it’s True Skyrim Unlocked, and it’s a hill I’ll die on.
@@maofria1452 yes it would have to match or even exceed it. I think they probably know that as well and that will impact their Skyrim sales and eso as well. If the day ever does come lol
To be honest, I haven't played another RPG besides Skyrim since 2011. Before Skyrim, I use to play Final Fantasy, Legend of Dragoon, Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time and a bunch of pokemon games ranging from FireyRed and LeafGreen to pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver. I use to be a hard-core Gran Turismo racing gamer and a competitive Clash of Clans and Battlefield 3 player. But once I picked up Skyrim. Oh man, I got addicted to it. Recently I started playing Dark Souls because I never played a Darks Souls game because of Skyrim lol! I thought I give it a shot and it was fun for the first 2 hours. Then I switched to Skyrim and I played 6 hours. That's how much I am into Skyrim. I still have my old Skyrim Classic edition on the PS3 with my original character Wizard Breton at level 84. My current Skyrim Anniversary Edition is what I am playing now on PC, fully modded and being a Breton Wizard again. So yeah, I get the stealth archer meme, for me it is the Wizard builds. Include the mods and I can now play multiple variations of wizard builds.
I was just thinking I haven’t even started the Dragonborn expansion yet but I’ll log into Skyrim and play for hours and hours without really doing anything of note, but I still feel like it’s time well spent. Dark souls is a good game but for different reasons. There’s no chilling out in that game lol. But your list of games before Skyrim is awesome too! Soul silver is my favourite Pokémon game ever (16 gyms) and Orcarina of time is in my top 3 games ever made. I think the games you have listed have all been defining games that shook the whole gaming industry and Skyrim is high on that list! I would take Skyrim over dark souls for sure.
For me, yes. The game will always hold a special place in my heart. But it’s for more reasons than the game itself. I had just started playing games again. I had just returned to console as well. Skyrim was my first and only Elder Scrolls I’ve truly played. It was my first introduction to Fantasy as a genre in gaming. I never played anything that had the world of man, orc, elf, dwarf, etc. This was also a time period I was watching a lot of The Lord of The Rings movies as well. As if all this wasn’t enough, I was also experiencing F3, FNV, and F4 during this same time span. So for me it was a magical time of gaming. And all the versions of Skyrim I owned were right in the mix. Looking back, just from BGS titles alone, I was spoiled. 🤣
I had the exact same experience for you except oblivion was my first. It’s crazy because we got oblivion in 2006, fo3 is 2008, fnv in 2010, skyrim 2011 and fo4 2015. We had no idea how good we had it right? Now we gotta wait 10 years in between a game lol
@@AVVGaming1 And now think of every other game you loved that came out in that same time period. It was just a moment in gaming history and even culture that all the things came together in a way that only looking back can make you truly appreciate. That time period will probably never be repeated. At least not like that.
@@Backbone420 no and you know what? They were dropping games regularly and they were big enough! We don’t need 1000 planets, or giant open worlds with checklist activities. In fact I’d argue the size of games back then was better than it had been recently. Or maybe I’m just looking at it with rose tinted glasses lol
Me too! It has enough about it to keep it interesting. Mods help it but it was a hugely successful and enjoyable game before it as well and that’s the real reason for its longevity!
I played only 4000 hours in Skyrim, and it only takes 70-80 hours to beat a game in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition with just one run. If you want to 100% The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition then it might take you 200-300 hours for a single run (you might run with stealth archer, or just simply assassin's builds for those kinds of runs). Ps. I am not counting new creation club content mods.
@@bacd-nn2lg 4000 hours is still a heck of an investment. You can speed rush through it for sure and just smash through the quests, but it’s the time in between that stuff where the magic is I reckon. That relaxing periods of just being in your house, or just exploring the world running into random events. What’s your favourite open world RPG?
I have easily put over 4K hours ever since the game came out, probably in the last year alone. but I have never made it past level 20. I always restart because I end up recrafting my mod list which has over 2k mods lol. I’m level 12 now. Hoping to get to the finish line this time now that every mod I ever dreamed of is loaded. Edit: steam shows 1500 hours in last year and that’s not including during 2013ish when I didn’t have steam and played the heck out of it
Maybe Skyrim is, but we're not. Many have died waiting for the next one and some of us still will. By now we should prize-get TES6: Tamriel. Nice video!
And we have no indication of when it’s coming? So many of us have played it as kids and now are adults with full families, that’s crazy! Thank you very much for the kind words as well it really means a lot!
Skyrim is that one game that I have so much nostalgia for, even though the main quest in Oblivion and even Morrowind are better. Still, there’s just something about this world that keeps me coming back for more…warts and all. Even if I’ve done it 100 times, I always return. If only that mean Cloud District guy could be silenced…
@@mediamaniac898 he shall never be silenced! He takes his job seriously lol I agree with all that you’ve said. I’m going to do an oblvion vs Skyrim video one day as I think it’s a good topic. As far as morrowind goes, I’m playing it right now! I promised I’d play it and do an analysis on it. It’s certainly aged but the writing and RPG elements are deeper than Skyrim. But Skyrim is magic in its own way!
@@AVVGaming1 Too bad BGS didn’t land the ship with Starfield. Still, not the worst game ever. The problem is that it’s still running on the same engine used since Oblivion. It brings back those ugly balloon faces and gives you a VERY repetitive main quest that is weaker than any of their previous games. They’re only now adding improvements that should have been there at the beginning, like the Land Rover and improved map. That said, the core problems like randomly generated maps still remain unfixed.
Thank you very much! It depends if the elder scrolls 6 ever drops and if it does, if it matches this game. Thst would be the only thing that would slow it down. How funny would that be, still making Skyrim videos in 60 years time lol but I bet people were saying that 10 years ago lol
@@AVVGaming1 i really don't believe Todd Howard from today&future will ever manage to create the "Skyrim magic" ever again. He will try all his life and career. He will never be able to again.
I knew I had forgotten to put something in the video! If anyone is reading this comment please let it be known you can indeed play as a stealth archer!
1) I am not AT ALL a RPG gamer. I play grand strategy games and management games, such as Civilization, Tropico, or RTS, like Age of empires. I've never played ANY RPG game in my life, and most of them do not seem very attractive to me. BUT : there is Skyrim. I've played so much, I come back to it every now and then. As you said, the uniqueness and the width and the depth! Wow, this game is awesome. 2) I don't know what you mean by sTeAlTh ArChEr 3) Nah, don't go to the Cloud District very often. Of course I don't.
Hahaha! Skyrim is just one of those games where everything came together. It’s quests and combat etc are not too technical and that’s one of the reasons it’s so enjoyable in my opinion and never gets old. Stealth archer is the most commonly used cheap tactic by players who just sneak around shooting everhone lol. And cloud district you can just ignore Nazeem, he was desperate to get in on the video lol
Skyrim is more than a game to me, it's a refuge. It's a place I can lose myself in when the stresses of life are getting me down. When I boot up the game and start a new playthrough, it's like coming home to an old friend. I'm 35 years old and it has been a constant in my life ever since the day it came out. Hands down my favorite game.
Lovely comment and you summarized it better than myself. When you’ve had a long day at work, this is the game to boot up. It just so comforting and offers the ultimate escapism. You can play it however you want and that’s what makes it so unique. Besides this, what other games would you say offer the same?
@AVVGaming1 Absolutely correct. I also love being able to customize the game with mods and make it exactly how I want it. Truly a remarkable feature. The only other games that can match this level of comfort and immersion would be Oblivion and maybe Ocarina of Time. Both incredible games.
@@TheKipchak yesss!!! Orcarina of time was my favourite game of all time! How much progress that game represented cannot be stated. It changed gaming forever and then oblivion did again. You have good taste in games!
@AVVGaming1 Much appreciated! I'm glad I found your channel. I tend to only play a few games ( Historical TW titles, some of the AC Games, Skyrim, Oblivion, and some old N64 titles), but they never seem to get old. I think I'll be able to live off those for the rest of my days.
@@TheKipchak honestly, you’d be fine living of those games alone and we may never see better than some of them! I’m going to cover oblivion soon for sure. Just need a bit of time to replay it so I can remember everything. I’m thinking of an oblivion vs Skyrim video. Discussing quests etc. what would you say they each exceed at compared to the other?
Skyrim has a certain magic to it. I';ve played it many times, and the mods I use currently are limited to just followers because I don't want to go through the effort of installing SKSE and dealingwith load orders. And yet, despite this, every time I play I feel like I'm having a new experience - even when I do the same quests. it's far from perfect of course. I wish the cities were a bit bigger, some scrapped ideas had come out to fruition, that those darn snotnosed brats could die, but all in all? Still fun.
My 8 year old daughter prefer Skyrim more than Roblox and could play the whole day, she says Ysgramor is her grandfather and cries about missing her home Whiterun and her sister Aela. One time I forgot to turn off Crime feature in FG in her new playthrough and got raped by a guard. She ran to me so fast while shouting repeatedly, "Daaaad I can't turn it off (referring to the animation)!!!" I ran and saw what was happening, and scolded her, "I told you not to do bad things in Skyrim!" She cried it was hilarious af! She created a new char and moved on with her new life.
That’s absolutely mental! It really is a game that is there to live in and create your own stories. I’m not sure about that crime feature as I’ve never heard of it but that sounds absolutely brutal lol
I've returned to Skyrim after a couple of years of not touching it. Now, its characters are driven by AI thanks to Mantella. The game may as well be new, given the joy it's been giving me.
Gta5 has that same longevity where you never feel burned out no matter how many times you have played it. It just flows really well. I have played Skyrim in VR and it is the best vr experience I have ever had. Just feels to immsersive and makes the game so amazing! Love just walking around in the world looking at things close up.
it's one of the rare things that is just so much more than the sum of its parts. One of the rare games that are evergreen. I think if bethesda put some serious time and money in an expansion even today it would turn a profit.
@@pko1683 it’s just all the magic all coming together in one place. Like I’ve played it about 10 times on 10 consoles with different experiences and I never get tired of it or feel burned out. I introduce gamers to it in 2024 who have played modern games and they still rate it highly. Evergreen is exactly the rihht word for it!
I like this game, I miss this game... I dont have much time to play these days. My favorite game ever is still Fallout New Vegas but somehow I miss this one more!?! I have great memories of it. I am not sure when I played it but I remember it very well. I think I was a nord stealth archer 🤔
Hahaha nice to meet you! I’ve never been to Austria but it’s a place on my list. I’m over in England so we got the grey skies lol. Skyrim really is the game you want to play after a long day of work and stress
I loved Skyrim, but I found Morrowind to offer much more freedom than any other elder scrolls, and with mods, Morrowind addresses any gripe you could ever have, in fact there is a Skyrim landmass mod for Morrowind as well. Morrowind mods include, voice acting, graphic mods, combat overhauls, and everything in between, oh, and you can play Morrowind with all these mods on an Android smartphone, I can't think of anything with more freedom. Love you guys. Great video.
Thank you! My next video is going to be about morrowind primarily. More so, how morrowind had a lot of RPGing aspects and depth, then oblivion had less, and then Skyrim had even less. Not necessarily a bad thing as they’re too fantastic games but for different reasons. I’ve re downloaded morrowind last night, and I start a new playthrough tomorrow! Thanks for the awesome comment!
I haven't finished the main quest yet, so yeah I'll have to keep playing, get bored of my character, create a new one with a different modlist and then spend another couple years not playing the main quest.
Haha you’re not alone. I reckon it’s about 30% of people who have played Skyrim for hours have never finished the main quest. The main quest isn’t really a reason to play it. It’s all about the world and exploration
Oh no! I knew I had forgotten something and I can’t believe it! Honestly, just to be safe, I might change the thumbnail to stealth archer and the title of the video! People Need to know stealth archer is an option! Lmao
@@AVVGaming1 I had the game delivered on 11-11-11 and I played it that day, and I played it today. Morrowind is still my favorite game of all time, but Breezehome is my favorite abode.
Not just Skyrim, most of Bethesda main games have been immortal ( somehow, even Fallout 76, despite the fact that it doesnt has any mod support) Even the freaking the Daggerfall still getting new mods. I dont doubt Starfield will also getting the same immortality in the future, albeit, it's not a really thriving immortality, but Starfield is still rising up with the recent mods
I know, it has such a strong following which is really nice to see. I think starfield may maintain a decent following but it won’t go on as strong as Skyrim, o Morrowind, oblivion or fallout 4. Those games were a lot more enjoyable to explore. I just feel like the procedural generated content was the main issue.
Yes I do feel like their updates do more damage than good. It should definitely be optional and it’s usually only for a bit of a cash grab which I don’t mind, but it always seems a bit sleazy when it’s to drop a special expansion which was literally made my modders who volunteered their time and now Bethesda package them up and sell them for cash.
Thank you! I do love it! Is rdr2 free for ps4? It should be available on disc for really cheap! Totally worth getting if you haven’t played it yet! One of the GOATs!
@@footballfumb5495 it’s one the best I’ve ever played! It’s a long main story! But it just keeps getting better and better the more you play it! After you finish the main story go on UA-cam and search “secrets in rdr2”. I swear there’s like 200+ and I found about 5 lol
With the Beyond Skyrim teams working relentlessly, I believe that eventhough new good may come in the following years, once these mods launch, Skyrim is gonna overtake them again.
Do you think they can get them onto consoles? I don’t think they can but the day they do that, things like fallout London and Skyblivon etc on console, it’s game over for other games lol
@@AVVGaming1 Well given that Bruma is already out there for Xbox I think it's possible (But I doubt that it's gonna be out for PS due to Sony's policy about third party's content). But I dont know if you are gonna be able to have all the Beyond Skyrim mods at the same time due to simple storage limitation on Xbox.
@@konty2349 yes I heard thst was the problem and it’s such a shame because that would be a game changer for gaming forever. It will mean more people able to play the mods, which means more mods as people see their creations used by more people and it makes the game successful regardless of initial reception (eg starfield) because it’s more than just the game. But I don’t think it will happen but I’m gonna play it on PC regardless lol
In other games, you can lose because you are underleveled, in skyrim you can lose because you spent so much time upgrading only alteration that the enemies are stronger, while your primary attack skill is still low.
That’s true! I have experienced that exact same thing by the way! It’s crazy how it’s set up but at least we can turn down the difficulty if it gets silly!
Yes quite a lot of people enjoy starfield and that’s absolutely fine. Video games are all based on opinion so what some people love others might now. I’m sure there’s someone out there who doesn’t like Skyrim believe it or not lol
Mods certainly play a huge part in the continuation of the games long life span. But I know I am replaying it again now in VR and just finished it on switch. It’s got a lot of reasons to replay but mods have to be the main reason lol
I think that is a strong reason they haven’t released another one yet. I mean, it’s so much to live up to, in fact I don’t think it can. It’s a game that’s been shown love for over 13 years. How do you even try to repeat it?
Skyrim is my favorite game but i havent gone back and played for iver a year now because the combat is very dated Skyrim needs a higher skill ceiling and npc's to utilize it
I was just saying this that with Mods like fallout London, skyblivion etc. if they ever managed to get it onto console, man those games would live on forever! That’s the key but it’s not possible at the moment. If they could get the same modding options on a console that you can see in PC, then these games would rise to even higher levels!
Oh no! I knew I had forgotten it and I’m sorry! I am planning to do a new video entitled “you be a stealth archer” with a picture of a stealth archer and it’s me for 1 hours and just saying you can play as a stealth archer. But I do worry, people might not get the message behind it…
Nothing makes me cringe more than people who say Skyrim has "massive" and "impactful" choices like what colour team you pick in the civil war. Same as those hidden secrets videos that mean absolutely nothing, player "choice" doesn't mean anything when there's no meaningful difference, its freedom comes _specifically from_ the fact nothing you ever do matters and the sandbox world is static. If you genuinely think anything Bethesda's ever released has a good story, then all I can offer is my condolences for your lack of standards.
I’m a huge fan of Witcher 3, which I consider a lot more in-depth for decision making. And then KCD for role playing aspects. Even Morrowind itself and oblivion had more in that regard. I don’t consider Skyrim to be the most in-depth in terms of decision making, but it has its strong points. It gives you a reason to replay it at least but not to the level of Witcher 3 which I have now played about 100 times lol
@@tj-co9go haha you know what? I read the comment and thought it was a complaint, then I watched the first 30 seconds and got the joke lol sorry mate I was slow to the joke lol thank you I literally missed my own joke lol
Love some skyrim and play it occasionally even today. But it's best attribute is exploration/world. RPG mechanics are very black n white, yes or no. No nuance to speak of. Even between races there's no real difference in gameplay or dialogue options
Yes the RPG elements were dropped. Morrowind had a lot of them, oblivion less and then Skyrim is almost removed from it. But it excels in other ways which has lead to its success. I feel like they need to bring it back as games like BG3 and KCD have shown there is a demand for it. They just need to add more in, it doesn’t have to be as in-depth as other more detailed games but I’d like it a bit more in-depth than it was in Skyrim.
Stealth archer is oubviously powerfull but to me illusion assassin is even more powerfull. Anyway with 7 500h I've played these 2 so much that I'm trying to avoid playing like that now
I have been playing as an orc with battle axe just smashing everything and it’s been pretty fun. If I play in VR though it had to be stealth archer because it’s so easy to aim with your head lmfao
@@AVVGaming1 Ha I see. I'm playing on a "toaster" so I've never tried SE or VR, I guess I'll give a try to stealth archer on VR once I'll have a better computer ^^
its mods, without mods i would've never even touched this game, the combat sucks, the story is boring, and they retconned so much of the lore, making it more boring as they were trying to copy game of throne instead of doing their own thing. it seems like most fans who are interested in the lore are only really interested in the lore written by michael kirkbride, who stopped writing lore for the game 17 years ago
They need new writers for sure! Honestly it’s Been lacking so bad in Bethesda games for a while now. Skyrim and Fallout 4 really shows the lack of good writing and then Starfield was the moment we just couldn’t pretend anymore. They need a new writing team for sure.
That’s what I mean! I’ve played it in VR and switch and neither had mods but it’s still a class game. Some people say mods are the only reason but I disagree, there’s so much to it to enjoy even without
Haha I don’t mean literally immortal…although, if Skyrim is picked up by aliens and transported through the universe then it may always be one step ahead and thus live in Forever.
Yes I guess they could. But starfield despite being big, didn’t have any of the hand crafted content. They didn’t have hand crafted dungeons etc. on Skyrim if you find a new dungeon it’s a new experience to any of dungeon you’ve found. In starfield, you could explore for hours and there’s no guarantee you’ll find something new. That to me was the main problem with starfield.
I played it finished main questline, got overwhelmed by side quests with those repetitive underground cave, ruins etc. I hate that Skyrim is so big and beautiful but over 90% of the quests took place in repetitive underground. I pretty much like the main quest, it's epic! But it felt so much shorter than I expected imo, even felt shorter than Gears of War Ultimate Edition. They should make mian quest of next Elder Scrolls 6 more longer like 40 hours+. Skyrim's felt like 10 hours. One side quest I absolutely can't forget is "A night to remember" that's so satisfying, all locations are great and rewarding, that's the type of quests next Elder Scrolls need. I didn't like dark brotherhood, thrives guild coz stealth is a joke in this game. Talking about civil war, I didn't like the motives and story, just enjoyed those battles. And companion and college of winterhold quests were fun. Dragonborn dlc is okay, I only played main quest, haven't played dawngaurd yet. Overall I absolutely love the world, ambience, music, epic main quest (which was short) of Skyrim. But feel like Skyrim is under utilised, why all side quests taking place in repetitive underground locations while you have this large open world, with rivers, mountains and forests. Hope next Elder Scrolls don't repeat what Skyrim did.
Yes and it was definitely over used. You’re a thief: go into those old tombs and fight draugr. You’re an assassin: go into those old tombs and fight draugr. You’re a mage guild student: go into those old ruins…etc. it’s very repetitive on the quests but I think for 2011 that was okay because we didn’t expect each quest to be super detailed. And then Witcher 3 came out and changed that. I did a video on this called “elder scrolls 6 why we need to wait” that you might want to check out as it talks a lot about this
I don’t like Skyrim anymore. I got bored, give me the new TES game and bring back more advanced RPG elements. Todd Howard was who brought back Bethesda from bankruptcy with Morrowind which was one of the biggest leap in Open World RPG gaming and I want a similar leap after Skyrim because Skyrim was good and I threw it into the trash when they announced Special Edition because I felt they fd up with the fan base. The new TES need a better fight system and better RPG system a better story and a more advanced graphics engine which will give us no loading screen. I’m rooting for Bethesda because after Starfield they really have to make something as great as Morrowind was back then.
@@AVVGaming1 Morrowind is dated I recommend you to use OpenMW which fix some issues with the game. Be open minded it is very important. You should play the game with an eye of a gamer in 2002. Good luck on the journey.
Of course it's immortal. I think kids will still be playing it 100 years from now, because no one will be able to fart out from their money-clogged anus a better game.
Haha that would really be something if it’s still relevant thst far in the future. The year 2124, I’ve just done my 727th Skyrim video and Bethesda has said ES6 will be out soon.
@@AVVGaming1 Just look at when they released Oblivion, Diablo 1, FNV, Doom 2. Doom 2 is 30 years old and still being played, high tech mods are still being developed for it. 30 years. Dune 2 is even older. They even make mods for Wolfenstein 3D. Trust me, people will still be playing Skyrim when it's 100 years old... that is, if we survive this mess that may be coming.
The conversation about it is self-perpetuating, at the moment. The game itself is not. I will never play Skyrim again and no amount of mods will fix shallow Skyrim gameplay and storytelling.
@@AVVGaming1 I had to switch my OS recently, so lost my playthrough, but I had a lot of fun in Morrowind with Tamriel Rebuilt and some other assorted mods. In fact, I'm surprised how active the Morrowind modding community is to this day. And these mods are works of beauty.
If it ever comes out, and it’s just as good or near enough the same formula. In that case then it would be the only thing to slow down Skyrim. But I don’t think it’ll end up. Oblivion and morrowind still get attention and they are a lot older in terms of play style
I popped in anniversary edition totally vanilla, zero mods. Perfection. You don’t need anything else. This is what you’re looking for. And it’s not ES6, either. It’s this. Just stfu and play Skyrim
Haha lol it really is and it’s not mods that make it. They have given it new life but I play it on VR and switch and neither have mods and it’s still amazing. They just hit the magic formula when they made this game and it all came together so well! Good to see you again as well! Thanks for watching another video of mine!
@@AVVGaming1 TES6 may be another Starfield which has a current player count on Steam of 10,439 (24 hour peak). The "Beyond Skyrim" mods will continue to breathe life into Skyrim and in 2025 "or sooner" Skyblivion will launch. So while not being "Skyrim" someone will patch these two together because they are on the same engine.
I've never seen snow in my life, but skyrim always felt like home for me.
It really does. It’s such a beautiful landscape and I’ve entered that world about 5 playthroughs and I never get tired of it. It always continues to astound me. It’s my home away from home. You played it in VR? It’s unreal
I'll likely play it regularly for the rest of my life. Morrowind and Oblivion have remained a constant in my life and I don't see any reason why Skyrim wouldn't continue to do the same. The same is true of the Fallout games.
They are masterpieces that will continue to exist forever and they never seem to become too much. I’m about to play morrowind again tomorrow for my next video and I can’t wait!
The Music always helped and it just gets me emotional or stoked to play
@@Darkstorm80000 never gets old right!!? I just love the soundtrack for oblivion and Skyrim and I swear I could listen to it all day and night and it never gets repetitive! Best music in gaming history? Witcher 3 also has a fantastic selection..
From Past to Present? Far Horizons? I ALWAYS get the urge to install Skyrim whenever I hear those in a video. It takes me back to November 30th 2011, alone for an extended week-end in my college dorm-room, playing Skyrim 14 hours/day for 4 says striaght, surviving on pepsi, cigarettes, cheap pizza and crispy strips. Now I've got lower back pain and a client with DUI due to a hearing in Court tomorrow... and i still wanna pay a visit to Bleak falls Barrow. Damn, nostalgia is a hell of drug.
I keep coming back to Skyrim because it’s one of the best games period. The replay ability of Skyrim and the fallout games is insane. Even with the bugs these games are still better than their competition both then and now. Imagine coming out with a game today and you’re competing with a game that was made more than 10 years ago. Amazing.
And that’s the thing, they have so much freedom so that you can replay it again and again. But see a game like cyberpunk 2077 has a set story, set side quests etc. eventually you will get tired of that, cuz it’s a same experience. Elder scrolls and fallout give a lot more freedom and space to the player which makes it so it’s not too repetitive. Skyrim came out 13 years ago and it’s still not been replaced and god knows other gaming companies have tried.
This very video made me come back to skyrim after a year. Thanks dude...
Haha awesome! So glad you enjoyed it! Honestly I always come back to it after a certain amount of time. Was playing it on the switch for like 300 hours. Finally took a break and then accidental decided to start it in VR. Here we go again…”hey you,
You’re finally awake!”
The music, it’s the music
The music is unbelievable and never gets old. I honestly believe it’s a reason for its longevity!
You describe it well. It's like a home. Other games make me feel to do homework. With Skyrim, I can just chill, walking the street of Whiterun, or punch Nazeem on the face. For adult like me who just get tired after work and don't have much time, Skyrim is the one close to mind whenever I pick the controller.
Yes it’s a game you can just jump into any time and feel a sense of peace and wonder at the same time. I don’t think another game has managed to match this same concept either. So many games have copied the open world concept but then added checklists of repetitive activities whereas Skyrim has a world just as big but with none of that stuff. The only stressful thing is seeing Nazeem lol
Skyrim is just a masterpiece they haven't been able to recreate. I haven't played it modded ever yet I've put in countless hours over 10 years
Me too! On the ps3, Xbox, pc, VR and switch. Still doesn’t get boring! I just started like my 10th plays through on the VR and I found 2 dungeons and a side quest I’ve never done before immediately lol I cannot believe how they managed to make such a great game with so much content in such a short span of time! It may never be replaced!
Of all the things Skyrim did well at or failed at, they created a world that you want to experience and feel a part of. That's the biggest reason that Skyrim is so good because if you think about it, none of the quests are so fantastic that you'd want to replay them over and over. But the world itself is so fascinating and easy to get into that you can just replay it over and over.
Absolutely! That’s exactly what I mean. When you go into Skyrim, you’re in that world and there is no other like it. If someone said they wanted the exact same experience as they had in Skyrim, you couldn’t really give an exact alternative. You could give games that are similar but not the same. Skyrim is one of the greatest gaming worlds ever built.
I wanted to be a stealth archer for my next playthrough, but now I’ll be a stealth archer instead!
Haha good choice but just in case you are open to options I might consider you try being a stealth archer!
@@AVVGaming1i tried that before but eventually i ended up being a stealth archer.
I remember when I was 11 and started playing skyrim for I was a huge fantasy enyojer as a kid. I'm 23 now and still I still play this masterpiece every once in awhile. I'm so hyped for the beyond skyrim mods
Yes me too! I’ve been keeping my eye on it and it’s looking so good! I think the mods have kept it alive and going strong but the game just has never been replaced. There hasn’t been a game that has that same vibe. It’s the reason why we keep coming back for more. I’ll do a video on the beyond Skyrim mods soon.
A nord's last thoughts should be of home. I might wander to different lands with various customs and better gameplay, I always come back to the world that first immersed me into fantasy like no other.
It’s just the ambience of the world of Skyrim is unmatched. It feels like home and the sights, sounds and music just hit right. It’s not yet been replaced and until that day, we will always come home.
I’m pretty lucky, I accidentally discovered it when I was looking for a game to play when Skyrim came out. The dude at game stop recommended it to me and I said “why not”. Got it home. Opened it up. Started playing ….. I don’t think I came out my room for days. Literally my so summer was in the house.
I “grew out of it” when ESO came out. Then work, adulting, relationships friends and family took priority so during my down time I just watch lore videos.
BUT- recently I’ve been back into gaming and I picked up the anniversary edition for PS5. Added mods and it’s been like a whole new world. I never actually completed the game. So I’ve been discovering new things and it’s been feeling like the first time. Especially since it’s been forever.
Haha what an awesome experience. I had the same thing at game stop but for the last of us part 1. Good choice of a game as well. Skyrim has a timelessness about it and the fact you have played it when it came out and then again just recently, just shows you how it manages to continue to be timeless. I think I have played it about 10 times and only ever completed the story about twice. My mate, has played it since release and even to this day has never finished the main story lol
Nice video! You made me think. I agree with you that Skyrim feels like home. I had a break of a couple of years away from the game while I had nothing to play it on. Then I got a Switch and I've been playing non stop for nearly a year. If you have a busy life, Skyrim is perfect for dipping in and out of when you have the time.
First of all, thank you for the compliment about the video, it really means a lot. Secondly, I am a fellow switch fan and how good is Skyrim for the switch!? I upgraded to the anniversary edition and it’s just so nice to have it available on the go. You can play for an hour, exit, come back and never feel like you missed something. Some games I feel like I need to play it from the beginning and not lost the flow, but Skyrim I can dip in and out as and when I feel like it! Switch is such a good console! I’ve got KCD, Witcher 3, TOTK, Skyrim, octopath traveler 2, dragons age 11, RDR, Persona 5, Hogwarts Legacy, just so many RPG games in portable mode!
Hi! Fantastic video you uploaded! Your channel is growing really fast.. oh my goodness!! You're doing really great! Keep it up!
Ruby!!!! Love to see you and hope you’re doing well! I think I’m starting to be more confident and put more comedy in now! I’m learning every day and it’s still a mystery to me how it all works lol how’s everything with you?
@@AVVGaming1 Oh awesome! Sounds great to me! Everything is going good so far, thank you so much for asking! I also hope you're doing well.
Skyrim forever in my heart.
Haha your profile name gives it away! How many hours do you think you’ve put into Skyrim?
@@AVVGaming1 A few thousand I guess but I have no way to check.
Completely agree. Another reason why Skyrim is such a great game (at least to me) is that the final level (Sovngarde) is just so epic. How it looks, the music, how you navigate through the level, seeing characters you have heard about in the game, etc. It's really something I look forward to when starting a new game.
And the music! The music for sovengarde just gives you goosebumps. It’s so well done! It makes you feel like this really is the place of history of champions! Oh, you said that! Yes it’s an epic moment! It’s just a game that never gets old in my opinion. Very rare for a game to pull that off. Can’t think of many.
Legends never truly die, they simply fade with time.
Yes and for Bethesda they get the Batman quote “you either die the hero or live long enough to see yourself become the villain” lol
To me skyrim has always had a feeling of comfort and coziness it helps me relax and calm myself after a hard day, it's like comfort food.
It's also a really immersive game, I mean sure it has plenty of bugs that can take you out of it but when it's working you really can get lost in it. I've had moments where I though I'll just play for an hour or so, but then I look up it's dark outside I forgot to eat drink or go to the bathroom and it's now the middle of the night.
I know that a common complaint about skyrim is it's very shallow and very easy, and yeah that's true. But not every game needs to have the depth and difficulty of dark souls. Not every game needs to challenge you.
Many of the mods I have make the game harder
@@genegene7028 That's cool it's your choice after all, I've done playthroughs with those mods as well. My point is more so that many critics of this game complain that skyrim is far too easy. And I just think you should judge a game on what it tries to do not what you want it to be.
I think it’s the ultimate game just to dip into and spend some time. The formula, however they did it, is like you said comfort food. You can eat that food forever once a week. It just got the formula really balanced. Like oblivion and morrowind are both special games, but Skyrim is special for different reasons. As for the shallow comment, yes it’s not that in depth in terms of RPG or writing etc compared to say morrowind, but it excels in other ways. It’s a game that just happened to appear with magic attached. It’s one of those games that come out once every decade or less where everything just aligned and perfection was the outcome. I’m still playing it today, and will continue to do so. I’ve played it in VR, switch, ps3, PC etc and I could play it again today as a new playthrough and it would never feel tedious or over played.
@@AVVGaming1 Yeah same here I'll never get tired of it, I haven't played it in few months now but I'll play it again in time I'll always go back when I need that fix. I think we'll all still be playing this game when we're 60 or 70 years old, in time we will all turn into the skyrim grandma and grandpa like Shirley Curry haha.
@@TheMysterieRPGguy hahaha we will still be messaging an here back and forth. You’ll be leaving comnents in my “is Skyrim still good after 90 years?” Video lol
I have never played it but know it is a legendary game! There are so many people who keep it alive and share it so that even people who haven’t played know so much about it! The memes are also so good 😂
@@rachelengelbrecht4102 I can’t believe you haven’t played it! You have to try it! It’ll blow you away!
Yes it is , and because of sooooo many reasons (some even out of Bethesda's hands) i dont think TES VI will ever reach the heights of Skyrim and it keeps on living even years after the release of TES VI.
Todd! How are you mate? Appreciate your comment, it’s got 16 times the details and it just works! lol jk but I do think tes6 has so move to live up to it’s almost impossible to reach those same heights. Even other games haven’t managed to replicate it either.
@@AVVGaming1 I don't even care anymore if TES6 isn't as good as skyrim, because, like you said, it just never gets old and even after 13 years and playing it every year, it still hits the same. I had even more fun this year, because I was trying a deathless challenge on legendary difficulty, with no fast travel or potions or followers, and that also gives a nice tension when you are playing. You always have to think about how you are approaching a fight and always be prepared to what might be on your way. I haven't managed to finish it yet, but that's the beauty of it, I maybe never will, so I can keep trying forever 😅.
Definitely holds up better than most. Played it yesterday.
Ambiance does it for me.
Overall agree with every word you speak.
I only use one mod for enhanced visuals and sound. It’s subtle.
I play it on vanilla on my switch recently and it’s crazy cuz it’s 2023 and I can still play this game vanilla and it doesn’t feel like it’s over aged. And also, it never feels repetitive. Such a good game and we may never see another like it. Ambience is unmatched from any other game either.
Skyrim is simply one of those games that is nice to play for a few hours or a few days at a time. and the VR version of Skyrim is my favorite vr game, of course better with mods, of course what game wouldn't be better with mods? + Lore is also one of the reasons why Skyrim, Oblivion and Morrowind are my favorite games ever. Great Video !
Thank you very much for the kind words! I’m 100% with you that playing Skyrim in VR is an experience I will never forget and a reason to get the VR alone. I also have it on the switch which is a blast to have to play on the go. The only problem with VR is them spiders up close! lol
I play Elder Scrolls games since 2005 when I got my first PC. Morrowind, Oblivion and Skyrim shaped me, my interest and aesthetic preferences. I have and always will return to these games. But Skyrim... it is special. Just like you I cant really find words to fit why. It an experience - to walk in its world, soak in the atmosphere and lore.
@@michaszpyrka4153 yes and although morrowind and oblivion arguably had more engaging quests and RPG elements, Skyrim just captured an atmosphere which has not since been replicated by any company in my opinion. The world, the towns, the inhabitants, it’s just the perfect blend. It’s a game I have played so many times I’ve lost count but never feel burned out. That will eventually happen with every game but Skyrim seems to be the exception.
Your writing is really good bro keep it up
Thank you so much! That really means a lot and comments like this make me keep going! Glad you enjoyed the video and hope you enjoy future ones as well!
My boy is 13 ...this game will never die brah !!😂😂😂 nice vid ! SUBSCRIBED !
Hahah thank you very much! Glad you enjoyed the video!
Currently playing PSVR version on PS5. Skyrim is my life.
Psvr Skyrim is unreal. I have it myself and it’s just incredible to play a game that big in a VR setting. Do you think it’s the peak version of Skyrim?
@@AVVGaming1 Honestly, you can play with mods and at 4k all you want, but nothing beats the immersion of VR. It’s the pinnacle of Skyrim gameplay. Like you say, the scale of the world is really unveiled. The caverns are deeper, the halls grander, and the dragons are much more fearsome. I wish it were on PSVR2, but that’s never gonna happen. However, some of the more relaxing parts of the gameplay are lost. Waiving your arms around for hours wearing a heavy headset does detract from the calming exploration. Still, I’d say it’s True Skyrim Unlocked, and it’s a hill I’ll die on.
Yes, as long as there are new good mods or Elder Scrolls 6 releases, assuming that won't be a disaster
@@maofria1452 yes it would have to match or even exceed it. I think they probably know that as well and that will impact their Skyrim sales and eso as well. If the day ever does come lol
To be honest, I haven't played another RPG besides Skyrim since 2011. Before Skyrim, I use to play Final Fantasy, Legend of Dragoon, Legend of Zelda Ocarina of Time and a bunch of pokemon games ranging from FireyRed and LeafGreen to pokemon HeartGold and SoulSilver. I use to be a hard-core Gran Turismo racing gamer and a competitive Clash of Clans and Battlefield 3 player. But once I picked up Skyrim. Oh man, I got addicted to it. Recently I started playing Dark Souls because I never played a Darks Souls game because of Skyrim lol! I thought I give it a shot and it was fun for the first 2 hours. Then I switched to Skyrim and I played 6 hours. That's how much I am into Skyrim.
I still have my old Skyrim Classic edition on the PS3 with my original character Wizard Breton at level 84. My current Skyrim Anniversary Edition is what I am playing now on PC, fully modded and being a Breton Wizard again. So yeah, I get the stealth archer meme, for me it is the Wizard builds. Include the mods and I can now play multiple variations of wizard builds.
I was just thinking I haven’t even started the Dragonborn expansion yet but I’ll log into Skyrim and play for hours and hours without really doing anything of note, but I still feel like it’s time well spent. Dark souls is a good game but for different reasons. There’s no chilling out in that game lol. But your list of games before Skyrim is awesome too! Soul silver is my favourite Pokémon game ever (16 gyms) and Orcarina of time is in my top 3 games ever made. I think the games you have listed have all been defining games that shook the whole gaming industry and Skyrim is high on that list! I would take Skyrim over dark souls for sure.
For me, yes. The game will always hold a special place in my heart. But it’s for more reasons than the game itself. I had just started playing games again. I had just returned to console as well. Skyrim was my first and only Elder Scrolls I’ve truly played. It was my first introduction to Fantasy as a genre in gaming. I never played anything that had the world of man, orc, elf, dwarf, etc. This was also a time period I was watching a lot of The Lord of The Rings movies as well. As if all this wasn’t enough, I was also experiencing F3, FNV, and F4 during this same time span. So for me it was a magical time of gaming. And all the versions of Skyrim I owned were right in the mix. Looking back, just from BGS titles alone, I was spoiled. 🤣
I had the exact same experience for you except oblivion was my first. It’s crazy because we got oblivion in 2006, fo3 is 2008, fnv in 2010, skyrim 2011 and fo4 2015. We had no idea how good we had it right? Now we gotta wait 10 years in between a game lol
@@AVVGaming1 And now think of every other game you loved that came out in that same time period. It was just a moment in gaming history and even culture that all the things came together in a way that only looking back can make you truly appreciate. That time period will probably never be repeated. At least not like that.
@@Backbone420 no and you know what? They were dropping games regularly and they were big enough! We don’t need 1000 planets, or giant open worlds with checklist activities. In fact I’d argue the size of games back then was better than it had been recently. Or maybe I’m just looking at it with rose tinted glasses lol
I keep coming back to Skyrim, Vanilla most times
Me too! It has enough about it to keep it interesting. Mods help it but it was a hugely successful and enjoyable game before it as well and that’s the real reason for its longevity!
I played only 4000 hours in Skyrim, and it only takes 70-80 hours to beat a game in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition with just one run. If you want to 100% The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Anniversary Edition then it might take you 200-300 hours for a single run (you might run with stealth archer, or just simply assassin's builds for those kinds of runs).
Ps. I am not counting new creation club content mods.
@@bacd-nn2lg 4000 hours is still a heck of an investment. You can speed rush through it for sure and just smash through the quests, but it’s the time in between that stuff where the magic is I reckon. That relaxing periods of just being in your house, or just exploring the world running into random events. What’s your favourite open world RPG?
I have easily put over 4K hours ever since the game came out, probably in the last year alone. but I have never made it past level 20. I always restart because I end up recrafting my mod list which has over 2k mods lol. I’m level 12 now. Hoping to get to the finish line this time now that every mod I ever dreamed of is loaded.
Edit: steam shows 1500 hours in last year and that’s not including during 2013ish when I didn’t have steam and played the heck out of it
this sounds like a bot comment or someone who works at bethesda lol
I used to go the cloud district quite often, then i took an arrow in the kne.
Is that fur? Coming out of your ears?
Maybe Skyrim is, but we're not. Many have died waiting for the next one and some of us still will. By now we should prize-get TES6: Tamriel. Nice video!
And we have no indication of when it’s coming? So many of us have played it as kids and now are adults with full families, that’s crazy! Thank you very much for the kind words as well it really means a lot!
I do get to the Cloud District very often, as a matter of fact.
Really? I find that hard to b__actually what am I saying, of course you don’t lol
Skyrim is that one game that I have so much nostalgia for, even though the main quest in Oblivion and even Morrowind are better. Still, there’s just something about this world that keeps me coming back for more…warts and all. Even if I’ve done it 100 times, I always return. If only that mean Cloud District guy could be silenced…
@@mediamaniac898 he shall never be silenced! He takes his job seriously lol I agree with all that you’ve said. I’m going to do an oblvion vs Skyrim video one day as I think it’s a good topic. As far as morrowind goes, I’m playing it right now! I promised I’d play it and do an analysis on it. It’s certainly aged but the writing and RPG elements are deeper than Skyrim. But Skyrim is magic in its own way!
@@AVVGaming1 Too bad BGS didn’t land the ship with Starfield. Still, not the worst game ever. The problem is that it’s still running on the same engine used since Oblivion. It brings back those ugly balloon faces and gives you a VERY repetitive main quest that is weaker than any of their previous games. They’re only now adding improvements that should have been there at the beginning, like the Land Rover and improved map. That said, the core problems like randomly generated maps still remain unfixed.
Do you think Skyrim will still be relevant 60 years from now? 😂
Nice video, btw! Well done
Thank you very much! It depends if the elder scrolls 6 ever drops and if it does, if it matches this game. Thst would be the only thing that would slow it down. How funny would that be, still making Skyrim videos in 60 years time lol but I bet people were saying that 10 years ago lol
@@AVVGaming1 i really don't believe Todd Howard from today&future will ever manage to create the "Skyrim magic" ever again. He will try all his life and career. He will never be able to again.
You forgot the most important part of Skyrim, YOU CAN PLAY AS A STEALTH ARCHER!!
I knew I had forgotten to put something in the video! If anyone is reading this comment please let it be known you can indeed play as a stealth archer!
1) I am not AT ALL a RPG gamer. I play grand strategy games and management games, such as Civilization, Tropico, or RTS, like Age of empires. I've never played ANY RPG game in my life, and most of them do not seem very attractive to me. BUT : there is Skyrim. I've played so much, I come back to it every now and then. As you said, the uniqueness and the width and the depth! Wow, this game is awesome.
2) I don't know what you mean by sTeAlTh ArChEr
3) Nah, don't go to the Cloud District very often. Of course I don't.
Hahaha! Skyrim is just one of those games where everything came together. It’s quests and combat etc are not too technical and that’s one of the reasons it’s so enjoyable in my opinion and never gets old. Stealth archer is the most commonly used cheap tactic by players who just sneak around shooting everhone lol. And cloud district you can just ignore Nazeem, he was desperate to get in on the video lol
skyrimis where i go when my anxiety level gets 2 high
Me too! It just is a break for the stresss of real life and no other game has quite hit that same level yet
Skyrim is more than a game to me, it's a refuge. It's a place I can lose myself in when the stresses of life are getting me down. When I boot up the game and start a new playthrough, it's like coming home to an old friend. I'm 35 years old and it has been a constant in my life ever since the day it came out. Hands down my favorite game.
Lovely comment and you summarized it better than myself. When you’ve had a long day at work, this is the game to boot up. It just so comforting and offers the ultimate escapism. You can play it however you want and that’s what makes it so unique. Besides this, what other games would you say offer the same?
@AVVGaming1 Absolutely correct. I also love being able to customize the game with mods and make it exactly how I want it. Truly a remarkable feature. The only other games that can match this level of comfort and immersion would be Oblivion and maybe Ocarina of Time. Both incredible games.
@@TheKipchak yesss!!! Orcarina of time was my favourite game of all time! How much progress that game represented cannot be stated. It changed gaming forever and then oblivion did again. You have good taste in games!
@AVVGaming1 Much appreciated! I'm glad I found your channel. I tend to only play a few games ( Historical TW titles, some of the AC Games, Skyrim, Oblivion, and some old N64 titles), but they never seem to get old. I think I'll be able to live off those for the rest of my days.
@@TheKipchak honestly, you’d be fine living of those games alone and we may never see better than some of them! I’m going to cover oblivion soon for sure. Just need a bit of time to replay it so I can remember everything. I’m thinking of an oblivion vs Skyrim video. Discussing quests etc. what would you say they each exceed at compared to the other?
Skyrim has a certain magic to it. I';ve played it many times, and the mods I use currently are limited to just followers because I don't want to go through the effort of installing SKSE and dealingwith load orders. And yet, despite this, every time I play I feel like I'm having a new experience - even when I do the same quests. it's far from perfect of course. I wish the cities were a bit bigger, some scrapped ideas had come out to fruition, that those darn snotnosed brats could die, but all in all? Still fun.
My 8 year old daughter prefer Skyrim more than Roblox and could play the whole day, she says Ysgramor is her grandfather and cries about missing her home Whiterun and her sister Aela.
One time I forgot to turn off Crime feature in FG in her new playthrough and got raped by a guard. She ran to me so fast while shouting repeatedly, "Daaaad I can't turn it off (referring to the animation)!!!" I ran and saw what was happening, and scolded her, "I told you not to do bad things in Skyrim!" She cried it was hilarious af! She created a new char and moved on with her new life.
That’s absolutely mental! It really is a game that is there to live in and create your own stories. I’m not sure about that crime feature as I’ve never heard of it but that sounds absolutely brutal lol
I've returned to Skyrim after a couple of years of not touching it. Now, its characters are driven by AI thanks to Mantella. The game may as well be new, given the joy it's been giving me.
Its characters are driven by AI? How do you mean? That sounds awesome and an absolute game changer in video game design
@@AVVGaming1 imagine the ChatGPT tech, but applies to Skyrim to make the NPCs sentient
Skyrim and GTA5 are some of the best games ever made, Skyrim excels because it can be played in VR too, I cant imagine greater immersion from games
Gta5 has that same longevity where you never feel burned out no matter how many times you have played it. It just flows really well. I have played Skyrim in VR and it is the best vr experience I have ever had. Just feels to immsersive and makes the game so amazing! Love just walking around in the world looking at things close up.
it's one of the rare things that is just so much more than the sum of its parts. One of the rare games that are evergreen. I think if bethesda put some serious time and money in an expansion even today it would turn a profit.
@@pko1683 it’s just all the magic all coming together in one place. Like I’ve played it about 10 times on 10 consoles with different experiences and I never get tired of it or feel burned out. I introduce gamers to it in 2024 who have played modern games and they still rate it highly. Evergreen is exactly the rihht word for it!
YES.
May it never die!
I like this game, I miss this game... I dont have much time to play these days. My favorite game ever is still Fallout New Vegas but somehow I miss this one more!?! I have great memories of it. I am not sure when I played it but I remember it very well. I think I was a nord stealth archer 🤔
It IS the ultimative chill game. ;-)
Greetings from Austria
Hahaha nice to meet you! I’ve never been to Austria but it’s a place on my list. I’m over in England so we got the grey skies lol. Skyrim really is the game you want to play after a long day of work and stress
I loved Skyrim, but I found Morrowind to offer much more freedom than any other elder scrolls, and with mods, Morrowind addresses any gripe you could ever have, in fact there is a Skyrim landmass mod for Morrowind as well. Morrowind mods include, voice acting, graphic mods, combat overhauls, and everything in between, oh, and you can play Morrowind with all these mods on an Android smartphone, I can't think of anything with more freedom. Love you guys. Great video.
You are a hero we need, but we don't deserve.
Thank you! My next video is going to be about morrowind primarily. More so, how morrowind had a lot of RPGing aspects and depth, then oblivion had less, and then Skyrim had even less. Not necessarily a bad thing as they’re too fantastic games but for different reasons. I’ve re downloaded morrowind last night, and I start a new playthrough tomorrow! Thanks for the awesome comment!
How do you play on android?
Morrowind is only growing as well, thanks to OpenMW. They're modernizing the game a lot, and little by little opening every part of its engine to Lua.
@@4Skyrim search on UA-cam, how to play morrowind on android
I haven't finished the main quest yet, so yeah I'll have to keep playing, get bored of my character, create a new one with a different modlist and then spend another couple years not playing the main quest.
Haha you’re not alone. I reckon it’s about 30% of people who have played Skyrim for hours have never finished the main quest. The main quest isn’t really a reason to play it. It’s all about the world and exploration
4:14 i think you forgot to mention stealth archer
Oh no! I knew I had forgotten something and I can’t believe it! Honestly, just to be safe, I might change the thumbnail to stealth archer and the title of the video! People
Need to know stealth archer is an option! Lmao
A stealth archer you say? I may have to look into that!
You really must! I don’t want to sound to cocky or conceded, but I honestly think I may be the first to discover this! ;)
@@AVVGaming1 I had the game delivered on 11-11-11 and I played it that day, and I played it today. Morrowind is still my favorite game of all time, but Breezehome is my favorite abode.

@@heartbroken7163 haha fair enough! I made sure to leave that out the video lol
Not just Skyrim, most of Bethesda main games have been immortal ( somehow, even Fallout 76, despite the fact that it doesnt has any mod support)
Even the freaking the Daggerfall still getting new mods.
I dont doubt Starfield will also getting the same immortality in the future, albeit, it's not a really thriving immortality, but Starfield is still rising up with the recent mods
I know, it has such a strong following which is really nice to see. I think starfield may maintain a decent following but it won’t go on as strong as Skyrim, o Morrowind, oblivion or fallout 4. Those games were a lot more enjoyable to explore. I just feel like the procedural generated content was the main issue.
Skyrim WAS immortal, until Bethesda started the constant updates that have wrecked the modding scene ever since it has been slowly dying...
Yes I do feel like their updates do more damage than good. It should definitely be optional and it’s usually only for a bit of a cash grab which I don’t mind, but it always seems a bit sleazy when it’s to drop a special expansion which was literally made my modders who volunteered their time and now Bethesda package them up and sell them for cash.
Good video, you obvs love it > rdr2 - is it free on ps4?
Thank you! I do love it! Is rdr2 free for ps4? It should be available on disc for really cheap! Totally worth getting if you haven’t played it yet! One of the GOATs!
@@AVVGaming1 I am playing rdr2 - excellent game
@@footballfumb5495 it’s one the best I’ve ever played! It’s a long main story! But it just keeps getting better and better the more you play it! After you finish the main story go on UA-cam and search “secrets in rdr2”. I swear there’s like 200+ and I found about 5 lol
With the Beyond Skyrim teams working relentlessly, I believe that eventhough new good may come in the following years, once these mods launch, Skyrim is gonna overtake them again.
Do you think they can get them onto consoles? I don’t think they can but the day they do that, things like fallout London and Skyblivon etc on console, it’s game over for other games lol
@@AVVGaming1 Well given that Bruma is already out there for Xbox I think it's possible (But I doubt that it's gonna be out for PS due to Sony's policy about third party's content). But I dont know if you are gonna be able to have all the Beyond Skyrim mods at the same time due to simple storage limitation on Xbox.
@@konty2349 yes I heard thst was the problem and it’s such a shame because that would be a game changer for gaming forever. It will mean more people able to play the mods, which means more mods as people see their creations used by more people and it makes the game successful regardless of initial reception (eg starfield) because it’s more than just the game. But I don’t think it will happen but I’m gonna play it on PC regardless lol
In other games, you can lose because you are underleveled, in skyrim you can lose because you spent so much time upgrading only alteration that the enemies are stronger, while your primary attack skill is still low.
That’s true! I have experienced that exact same thing by the way! It’s crazy how it’s set up but at least we can turn down the difficulty if it gets silly!

@@SoulshadeVr101 thank you very much :) hope you enjoyed the video
I’ll be playing this in my head in 60 years on my AGI chip Implanted in my skull 💀
Haha we all will be! We will probably still be waiting for TES6 at the same time as well lol
Nothing is wrong with starfield. Its an actually good game that i enjoy
Yes quite a lot of people enjoy starfield and that’s absolutely fine. Video games are all based on opinion so what some people love others might now. I’m sure there’s someone out there who doesn’t like Skyrim believe it or not lol
@AVVGaming1 the thing about skyrim is eventually you do hit a point where you just stop and put it down. But you'll come back when the feeling fades.
The first answer is not incorrect. I still play Skyrim and just started a new character, but I would not be playing without mods.
Mods certainly play a huge part in the continuation of the games long life span. But I know I am replaying it again now in VR and just finished it on switch. It’s got a lot of reasons to replay but mods have to be the main reason lol
No, its only another 30 years until we get Skyrim 2
30 is very optimistic lol
Elder Scrolls 6 will revive Skyrim. I guarantee the next watered down Elder Scrolls will make us appreciate the last one even more.
I think that is a strong reason they haven’t released another one yet. I mean, it’s so much to live up to, in fact I don’t think it can. It’s a game that’s been shown love for over 13 years. How do you even try to repeat it?
My backlog is so big because of skyrim 😂
Haha and it keep popping up: game log looks like this: 1.) game A 2.) Skyrim 3.) game c 4.) a little more Skyrim 5.) new Skyrim playthrough lol
@@AVVGaming1 exactly this 😆
Skyrim is my favorite game but i havent gone back and played for iver a year now because the combat is very dated
Skyrim needs a higher skill ceiling and npc's to utilize it
I do agree. It’s been 13 years now so we do need to see some advancement in it just to make it more interesting and challenge us a little bit.
only on pc to bring the graphics up to date....unfortunately xbox mods are very limited
I was just saying this that with Mods like fallout London, skyblivion etc. if they ever managed to get it onto console, man those games would live on forever! That’s the key but it’s not possible at the moment. If they could get the same modding options on a console that you can see in PC, then these games would rise to even higher levels!
Yes .
For sure!
yes😁
Of course!
Can't believe you neglected to mention that you can play as a stealth archer... 😢
Oh no! I knew I had forgotten it and I’m sorry! I am planning to do a new video entitled “you be a stealth archer” with a picture of a stealth archer and it’s me for 1 hours and just saying you can play as a stealth archer. But I do worry, people might not get the message behind it…
Nothing makes me cringe more than people who say Skyrim has "massive" and "impactful" choices like what colour team you pick in the civil war. Same as those hidden secrets videos that mean absolutely nothing, player "choice" doesn't mean anything when there's no meaningful difference, its freedom comes _specifically from_ the fact nothing you ever do matters and the sandbox world is static. If you genuinely think anything Bethesda's ever released has a good story, then all I can offer is my condolences for your lack of standards.
I’m a huge fan of Witcher 3, which I consider a lot more in-depth for decision making. And then KCD for role playing aspects. Even Morrowind itself and oblivion had more in that regard. I don’t consider Skyrim to be the most in-depth in terms of decision making, but it has its strong points. It gives you a reason to replay it at least but not to the level of Witcher 3 which I have now played about 100 times lol
0:01 - 0:30 this was the whole video. Don't watch further
(Just kidding)
@@AVVGaming1 I liked it. It was just a joke
@@tj-co9go haha you know what? I read the comment and thought it was a complaint, then I watched the first 30 seconds and got the joke lol sorry mate I was slow to the joke lol thank you I literally missed my own joke lol
Love some skyrim and play it occasionally even today. But it's best attribute is exploration/world. RPG mechanics are very black n white, yes or no. No nuance to speak of. Even between races there's no real difference in gameplay or dialogue options
Yes the RPG elements were dropped. Morrowind had a lot of them, oblivion less and then Skyrim is almost removed from it. But it excels in other ways which has lead to its success. I feel like they need to bring it back as games like BG3 and KCD have shown there is a demand for it. They just need to add more in, it doesn’t have to be as in-depth as other more detailed games but I’d like it a bit more in-depth than it was in Skyrim.
Stealth archer is oubviously powerfull but to me illusion assassin is even more powerfull. Anyway with 7 500h I've played these 2 so much that I'm trying to avoid playing like that now
I have been playing as an orc with battle axe just smashing everything and it’s been pretty fun. If I play in VR though it had to be stealth archer because it’s so easy to aim with your head lmfao
@@AVVGaming1 Ha I see. I'm playing on a "toaster" so I've never tried SE or VR, I guess I'll give a try to stealth archer on VR once I'll have a better computer ^^
@@martinquennery5336 haha! Stealth archer is the way to go! Lol
Baby's first RPG
Your first RPG?
The answer is mods.
lol they certainly have given us reasons to always return to it and no matter what bethesdas plans are for es6, mod support has to be included again.
its mods, without mods i would've never even touched this game, the combat sucks, the story is boring, and they retconned so much of the lore, making it more boring as they were trying to copy game of throne instead of doing their own thing. it seems like most fans who are interested in the lore are only really interested in the lore written by michael kirkbride, who stopped writing lore for the game 17 years ago
They need new writers for sure! Honestly it’s Been lacking so bad in Bethesda games for a while now. Skyrim and Fallout 4 really shows the lack of good writing and then Starfield was the moment we just couldn’t pretend anymore. They need a new writing team for sure.
If skyrim died i would die also i have never played even 1 mod
That’s what I mean! I’ve played it in VR and switch and neither had mods but it’s still a class game. Some people say mods are the only reason but I disagree, there’s so much to it to enjoy even without
@@AVVGaming1 if i wanted a different game i would buy 1 lol
Immortal? Don't be ridiculous. One day the last star in the universe will die, and Skyrim along with it.
Haha I don’t mean literally immortal…although, if Skyrim is picked up by aliens and transported through the universe then it may always be one step ahead and thus live in Forever.
Bruh😂
These 5 "points" are somewhat usable for Starfield, however that game is pretty much dead?
Yes I guess they could. But starfield despite being big, didn’t have any of the hand crafted content. They didn’t have hand crafted dungeons etc. on Skyrim if you find a new dungeon it’s a new experience to any of dungeon you’ve found. In starfield, you could explore for hours and there’s no guarantee you’ll find something new. That to me was the main problem with starfield.
I played it finished main questline, got overwhelmed by side quests with those repetitive underground cave, ruins etc. I hate that Skyrim is so big and beautiful but over 90% of the quests took place in repetitive underground. I pretty much like the main quest, it's epic! But it felt so much shorter than I expected imo, even felt shorter than Gears of War Ultimate Edition. They should make mian quest of next Elder Scrolls 6 more longer like 40 hours+. Skyrim's felt like 10 hours. One side quest I absolutely can't forget is "A night to remember" that's so satisfying, all locations are great and rewarding, that's the type of quests next Elder Scrolls need. I didn't like dark brotherhood, thrives guild coz stealth is a joke in this game. Talking about civil war, I didn't like the motives and story, just enjoyed those battles. And companion and college of winterhold quests were fun. Dragonborn dlc is okay, I only played main quest, haven't played dawngaurd yet. Overall I absolutely love the world, ambience, music, epic main quest (which was short) of Skyrim. But feel like Skyrim is under utilised, why all side quests taking place in repetitive underground locations while you have this large open world, with rivers, mountains and forests. Hope next Elder Scrolls don't repeat what Skyrim did.
Yes and it was definitely over used. You’re a thief: go into those old tombs and fight draugr. You’re an assassin: go into those old tombs and fight draugr. You’re a mage guild student: go into those old ruins…etc. it’s very repetitive on the quests but I think for 2011 that was okay because we didn’t expect each quest to be super detailed. And then Witcher 3 came out and changed that. I did a video on this called “elder scrolls 6 why we need to wait” that you might want to check out as it talks a lot about this
I don’t like Skyrim anymore. I got bored, give me the new TES game and bring back more advanced RPG elements. Todd Howard was who brought back Bethesda from bankruptcy with Morrowind which was one of the biggest leap in Open World RPG gaming and I want a similar leap after Skyrim because Skyrim was good and I threw it into the trash when they announced Special Edition because I felt they fd up with the fan base. The new TES need a better fight system and better RPG system a better story and a more advanced graphics engine which will give us no loading screen. I’m rooting for Bethesda because after Starfield they really have to make something as great as Morrowind was back then.
That’s the game I’m playing now. I’m playing morrowind to see what all the hype is. I want to do a video about that next. Just started it now.
@@AVVGaming1 Morrowind is dated I recommend you to use OpenMW which fix some issues with the game. Be open minded it is very important. You should play the game with an eye of a gamer in 2002. Good luck on the journey.
Of course it's immortal. I think kids will still be playing it 100 years from now, because no one will be able to fart out from their money-clogged anus a better game.
Haha that would really be something if it’s still relevant thst far in the future. The year 2124, I’ve just done my 727th Skyrim video and Bethesda has said ES6 will be out soon.
@@AVVGaming1 Just look at when they released Oblivion, Diablo 1, FNV, Doom 2. Doom 2 is 30 years old and still being played, high tech mods are still being developed for it. 30 years. Dune 2 is even older. They even make mods for Wolfenstein 3D. Trust me, people will still be playing Skyrim when it's 100 years old... that is, if we survive this mess that may be coming.
The conversation about it is self-perpetuating, at the moment. The game itself is not.
I will never play Skyrim again and no amount of mods will fix shallow Skyrim gameplay and storytelling.
That’s fair enough. It is quite shallow in terms of rpg aspects seen in Morrowind for example.
@@AVVGaming1 I had to switch my OS recently, so lost my playthrough, but I had a lot of fun in Morrowind with Tamriel Rebuilt and some other assorted mods. In fact, I'm surprised how active the Morrowind modding community is to this day. And these mods are works of beauty.
ES6 will be the only killer...if it ever comes out (hahaha..)
If it ever comes out, and it’s just as good or near enough the same formula. In that case then it would be the only thing to slow down Skyrim. But I don’t think it’ll end up. Oblivion and morrowind still get attention and they are a lot older in terms of play style
Is Skyrim Immortal? - No! Bethesda Broke it and they broke most of the Mods as well with last update.
They to tend to drop some bad updates that do more damage than good same happened with fo4
