very tedious, but a good time sink for the depressed.

Freedom! No, not a quote from Braveheart but this is the one word I would use to describe what I consider to be the best open world RPG of all time, and probably my favourite game of all time. I myself have sunk in nearly 500 hrs into Skyrim and I\'m still only on my second playthrough. I\'ve heard of others playing 200 hrs without touching the main questline. Skyrim offers so much choice to the player it\'s staggering, and the soundtrack is absolutely epic. An absolute classic!

All about that mod that turns all the dragons into Macho Man Randy Savage. Cream rises to the top baby.

The world is so big, so immersive, that it will take you at least 80 hours to really explore it all. In that time you'll have more quests than you can count. You can pursue the main quest or head off to do whatever you like. NPCs are so numerous and yet so varied, for personalities, for wants. I doubt I'll ever tire of this game.

A really odd game to rate because the game is legitimate trash without mods, but modding has made it worthwhile to play. Still, modding can't save it from the bland and underwhelming story, boring and poorly designed quests, barebones writing, forgettable cast, and how often the same dungeon designs are repeated. Mods can improve the combat, add quests and characters worth a damn, and make cities and magic feel more expansive and interesting, but a lot of things about Skyrim are unsalvagable.

Like an endless bowl of oatmeal. Skyrim has heaps of "content" that will keep you occupied when you'd rather not think about the real world, but it's certainly not a game worth playing when you have other things worth doing.

I found it oddly a very expansive and freeing experience but a bit monotonous at the same time, with the combat and dungeons feeling a bit samey after a while. But just wandering through the world is no doubt a fun experience, with this great fantasy vibe that will pull in any lover of the genre.

Absolutely amazing. Take a formula that has worked well in the past, and then make it even better. Even if every character you ever try to play is a stealth sniper archer, there is just so much to explore in this game. And, man, once you start modding it, the game takes on almost infinite dimensions. A true achievement in gaming, and here's hoping that they will eventually try to top this one.

Great for those who enjoy exploring and hoarding loot from various rapscallions in a medieval style fantasy setting. What this does it does really well, and with it's vast playing area, unlimited quests and varied locales there's always something interesting to do.

overrated | 90 94th |

Score is for Skyrim with all the DLC and certain mods (notably SkyUI, Frostfall, Realistic Needs/Diseases, Alternate Start among others) - vanilla is about 70-75. Highlights are Solstheim, Blackreach, the freaky lighthouse, the vampire quest in Morthal, and the first time you climb that mountain to get to the Greybeards. The best though is when you fight a bandit and it goes into cinematic decapitation view, with a head flying away yelling "IS THAT ALL YOU GOT?!" p.s. Stormcloaks are for chumps

As a standalone with DLC it\'s a huge massive achievement. With mods it becomes something out of legend. It\'s repetitive but the amount of times you can just stumble upon some massively scaled dungeon etc. makes up for it.

Well... if you go really heavy on the mods ('m talking 15+ hours spent on modding), and especially the ones that add new content and quests, you can have a lot of fun with this game. Especially "Interesting NPCs" is highly recommended. But taken purely on the merits of the base game... boy, it's really shallow and boring. I wonder how Bethesda hires its writers, because the dialogues and quest design are SO bad that I feel there must be some terribly interesting secret behind it.

underwhelming main story, very few interesting side quests, low quality combat and incredibly repetitive both in terms of terrain and the majority of the side quests

Starts off incredibly strong but, after you kill your first dragon, it becomes a repetitive slog punctuated by the rare interesting event.

Oh boy. Setting is NEAT but not INTERESTING, gameplay is absolutely fucking atrocious, writing is awful. That being said, this is probably the greatest modding platform of all time; with a solid mod setup this is an 80. Shout to 3DNPC and EnaiSinon's works being a good 20 points worth of that 80.

It's a good game but definitely not an rpg. Imagine a role-playing game where you can be the head of the assassins, thiefs, warriors and mages at the same time.
