try Daggerfall Unity if you havent

a single playthrough? im up to 180 hours on my 100% playthrough, and still got a lot more to go, this is the game that keeps on giving

My longest playthrough had aproximatly 850 hours, on the ps3

my longest is about 50 hours level 47 wood elf

I keep re-starting because of mods... LE, SE now VR.. VR alone I spent 1661 hours so far.

I'm a 66 yr old gentleman (retired now) and got it in '19. I have about 2,000 hrs in and have never finished the game 🙄 , just so much to do and see ... then I started modding it (some DLC sized mods) ... then I would break the game with too many mods or did it badly ... rinse and repeat. I would jump on a horse and just go discovering, then I wouldn't pick a side (Stormcloaks vs Imperials) both rubbed me the wrong way. So, I played/adventured my way. I just started again a month ago and am going to try to finish it 🤦‍♂. Who would you side with? I love the ethereal beauty/music of it, it's my got-to to relax.

I'm a 45 year old lady who also loves gaming. And while I've played so many amazing games over the decades, Skyrim truly is my number one. It's the only game that still gives me that thrill of exploration and newness and fun, the same way video games did when I was a kid. And Caleb, though young, absolutely did a great video explaining why Skyrim is still so playable after all these years!

@@jmgajda8071 All three of you are so awesome! I love hearing your thoughts and perspective.

@robhaney8568 I have minimal mods, mostly enhancements to sounds and visuals. With more than 2 dozen playthroughs, I've only done the civil war campaign twice, once on each side. I love the role-playing aspect and chose each side based on my character's back story. I never use horses or fast travel...that's how much I love the atmosphere of the game. I don't always finish the main quest line, it depends with each character. I could go on and on..... LOL! I love this game!

Perfect roommate right here 😄

Already downloading it

This is like the LOTR of video games

You removed it?

I’ve played so many times and I know I can still have fun if I play again. On the PlayStation it says I played 3782 hrs. The next close game was red dead 2 at 2277 hrs. Mostly online though.

I never can uninstall Skyrim. It feels wrong not to have it installed in my pc even if I don't play

Yes Skyrim is the players story

@@assassinbrcp6206 probably why Skyrim is still playable bcos can be anyone, in its sense its the most generic rpg out there but can do tons of playthrough with tons of options, other games despite better graphics can only do 2-3 playthroughs before we explore most of the options and dont play it anymore

Fua la re vivis escubi

That feeling is even stronger when playing in VR. I feel like everytime i play i go somewhere else and then return back when i am done. Incredible game.

@@owVRI used to play psvr version and we had to deal with some insane shite with that tracking system and controllers. Now with ps5 VR and I just wish Skyrim would re drop. I’ll pay $60 all over again, because I know I’d take my time and enjoy every little bit for months just like I did on my ps3 12 years ago

Awww that so sweet! I got onto the Elder Scrolls games in a similar way, but it was my older brother insisting I play Morrowind as a teen girl. It's the game that made me a gamer. I hope that Skyrim will be the game that will get my daughter's into gaming or, with any luck, it will be the next Elder Scrolls game...if it ever comes out!

had a similar exp with my older brother he brought baldurs gate 1 when he got his first pc and i looked at it and bleh what is this crap.... played it one day out of curiosity and it literally changed my outlook on life... never judge a book by its cover

@@chazzcoolidge2654 a lot of people backed up the claims that he’s not a great co worker so it seems pretty legit. His work is beautiful but someone like Inon Zur can do just as great a job. It’s not like we know him personally, we have no idea what he was like behind the scenes

@@tomo4977 yeah, i heared that too, but I still think that Jeremy Soul was unmatched when it comes to atmospheric music. Inon Zur is a great composer, the Fallout 4 music is incredible, but the HOURS long atmosphere music in Skyrim is THE very best i have ever heard in a video game. Jemery Soul has the ability to create music that actually makes you feel like you exist and live in the moment in that video game. This is extremely rare and Inon Zur was never able to achieve that for me personally. The only one who was able to make me feel that way aswell is Hans Zimmer.

Sorry to hear about your Father passing. My Father passed as well, it's tough. Very cool that your Dad played Skyrim though!

That's part of why I made this video. It seems like people hate on it because they think it makes them superior or shows they have good taste or something. But it's an amazing game, and no amount of people saying otherwise will convince me.

I can proudly said I hated BGS games before it was cool ! Jokes aside the Elder Scroll series never managed to get to me. I don't hate them per say, but I'm not into it. I still poke at some of the world building that makes no sense, but it's more for fun as the games are great at what they try to be. The Fallout series on the other hand I can say I hate what they made of my beloved C-RPG, but that is another story.

@@caleb.a.robinson I think that is mostly projection... I mean it depends on how they are doing the "hating" and what you define as "hating" but opinions are opinions. And in mine it is a good game but far from perfect and the worst one of the Elder Scrolls in terms of overall gameplay. Watered down mechanics and more like a theme park than an RPG, overall more casual experience. Which it is fine if that is what you prefer, just don't project your feelings on to me for having a different subjective taste in games.

​​@@caleb.a.robinson​ Agreed, not sure why but lately I've been seeing groups flow into every random topic section just to disagree or impose their self appointed superior opinion in some form like a bunch of bots. Even if they agree they will find a way to 'educate you somehow' so they can boost their self inflated ego. It's beyond annoying and immature to everyone but themselves.

Its just that people are starting to realize that Bethesdas game design is kind of terrible and outdated. With FO4 being outdated by comparison to its peers, and Starfield being a garbage dump of empty worlds and boring quests, its clear that the philosophy of "medium sized worlds with lots to explore" doesnt work very well when theres nothing to fucking do in the places you explore. The quests suck, the enemies are uninspired, and the character building is too simple and unimpactful to be engaging. FO NV, Morrowind, KCD, and plenty of other games manage to make this game design good, Bethesda is just an awful studio who churn out slop, and thats what Skyrim is in retrospect. It might have been novel at the time, but its not up to snuff

Zero dawn is good but not the same

You should play RuneScape

Give Control a shot. That's a good one for a first time.

Post some content?

You might like morrowind, it was the game before oblivion. Maybe the richest in lore and stuff. definitely way weaker graphics wise, but I've found graphics and stuff tend to be more important to younger folks anyway

Great to hear🥲

Oh man. I'm 72 and play it every day. I started about the same time you did. I like maxing out my and my hireling's armor and weapons at the enchanter and alchemy station. Don't forget to DO SOME EXERCISING! Your colon will thank you! Trust me! Or play standing up or while walking the treadmill! Such a great game! Even WITH all the bugs.

Partner, Skyrim has a lot of boring quests, boring NPC, boring companions with a few exceptions, i had much more fun with Fallout games, Dragon Age, etc. but... but, there is something magic with Skyrim, i just want to keep playing it, i just feel good playing it, i feel transported to another world, not a single other game has achieved that. The Witcher 1 is probably the closest that makes me feel like skyrim.

Have you tried Elden Ring? for me, elden ring really just set the bar extremely high and no other game has ever been the same. I keep replaying it. My first playthrough of it really made me feel liek a kid again. That is special

Ever play its predecessor, Morrowind? That is totally engrossing, even though its combat system is rudimentary compared to Skyrim.

Welcome to the journey we've all been on, friend.

what platform/version?

I'm glad there are still young'uns today also getting into Skyrim. I started playing it at release when I was 11 years old and barely understood English so I didn't even know what was going on most of the time, but I was captivated by it. I played it troughout my entire upbringing, it's like a second home to me.

It's so funny to read all this (old game and stuff) when you started playing Morrowind in 2002 and still are playing it in 2024 😂

alright relax little man it isn't that old LOL

I feel you my friend, I'm 27 now and I had a much simpler life with friends back then, now I am self employed and rarely socialize and when I boot skyrim up it feels lonely .. But so calming like I'm home

We're together bro!

I hope you're healing well🖤

i feel like i have to at least have 2 months in this game but sadly i cant track my xbox 360 hours. I bought a pre owned version of the game and didnt even realize it had the dlc but when i found out man i just grinded it for days. Just an insanely fun game despite how everything is a little buggy and weird a lot of the time.

@@Vinnare Yeah, when you turn it into weeks and months you get a new perspective. If I spent 3+ months in another country, it wouldn't feel weird to say I used to live in that country, and it kinda feels that way about Skyrim. It's like sliding back into an old pair of slippers, no other game feels so much like home.

Skyrim has been home to many amazing memories for me. Once, I had a mod that added a little rabbit follower named Dovahbit. He didn't fight, but would run around and distract enemies sometimes. We fought the giant in the Sanguine Rose questline, and I had run away from the giant to regain stamina. I turned around to see the giant had stopped chasing me and was after Dovahbit! Dovahbit ran for his life, zigzagging across the tundra, until the giant used his huge cudgel as a golf club and sent my poor little rabbit flying far off into the distance. Enraged, I avenged Dovahbit and slew the giant. I feared the worst. It wasn't untill after I'd finished returning Gleda the goat to the farmer in Rorikstad that he finally showed up again. Surprisingly, he seemed no worse for the wear. I rejoiced to see my fluffy little comrade again! To this day I still wonder where the giant's strike must have left him.

Skyrim and fallout new Vegas. The 2 games whose vibes can't be replicated

I don't think we will find anything out there like skyrim the closest game I found that is somewhat similar was kingdom come deliverance its not a Sci fi game but the feel of everything reminds me of skyrim

Try Dragons dogma dark arisen (story not so good but gameplay 100x times better)

just bethesda make this games... luckly for us we will soon have starfield :3

Games like halo , Skyrim and the Metroid series have had the best video game music imo. You could also include Pokémon and Zelda series

This is as they say wholesome. What builds do you usually play as?

with mods, it's still like if it was released yesterday.

For some reason my characters always seem to devolve into a murder hobo with insatiable bloodlust, maybe i'm just a psycho. I just find the quests to be endless errand-running. I've played through the campaign proper one time and that was enough. I just can't resist the urge to sprout arrows from evereyone's head!

@@mjgII blood porphyria, you got vampirism, probably from killing a vampire and getting in contact with the blood. You need to drink the antidote in less than 3 days.

@@mjgII ur definitely a psycho bro

Its the Skyrim equivalent to the evolution of a crab. All playthroughs end in Stealth Archer if you pick up a bow at any point.

Once you choose your path as a Mage or Warrior or an Assassin, you bound with it. I like build character as a Mage (destruction & conjuration) combine with a Sneak (one hand weapon).

Diversity is our strength.

The diversity and style has just gotten weaker and weaker since Morrowind.

@@incognitobandito244 I have to be honest, I have never understood this joke. I have literally never played as a stealth archer. Not one single time, ever. My first playthrough was a sword & shield with a bow for range, before replacing the bow for magic. My second playthrough was pure magic. My third playthrough was a dagger assassin. I have over 1900 hours on my PC _alone,_ not counting that I had Skyrim: Legendary for my PS3 originally. In all of over seven years I've played this game, not ever have I used a stealth archer.

I finally got out of a crippling Skyrim addiction with heroin.

Hope all is well with you now

@@onehandwashestheother ?

@@onehandwashestheotherSeethe.

Dude hit a fucking gold mine

I’m so jealous you were able to experience it blindly. I think most other people including myself knew exactly what it was before playing

That's an awesome way to stumble across the series! Elder Scrolls (specifically Morrowind) was what made me a gamer. I'd played many video games before like Super Mario Bros. But as a 13yo girl in the early 2000s I wasn't interested in gaming. My older brother insisted I try this new game under the premise that I could do whatever I wanted. My first playthrough started as a quest to get the coolest outfits but I got hooked on the story. A decade later I was in college. Skyrim had just come out and my semester had ended. I sold my used textbooks back to the school library and got just enough money that I immediately drove to GameSpot and bought Skyrim. A decade later and I have 3 kids and I'm still here playing Skyrim desperately waiting for Bethesdas next Elder Scrolls game and realizing by the time it happens it will probably be the game that hooks my daughter into gaming. A fully cyclical timeline!

I clearly remember the day I bought it. I was actually at the checkout in Sainsbury's buying another game (possibly MW3). I just got chatting with the cashier about gaming and he said he'd just bought this new fantasy game called Skyrim and that I should check it out... That night I looked up reviews on it and was completely blown away at the stuff you could do. The idea that you could practically live another life in this fantasy world was just insane to me...

awwwwwwww that's wonderful

I'm a 33yr old dad... and I listen to the music to help me sleep.

@@Taima doesn't matter lol just anybody that has the same love for Skyrim's soundtrack like the rest of us.

When he said he didn't realize what the annoying sound was, I went "Seriously?! I knew about that in Oblivion!"

That quest was brutal. It was to find all 100 Nirnroot in the game, and they were all unique, and never regrew. It was a thrill anytime you heard that annoying sound.

Same. I knew what it was the moment I heard it thanks to Oblivion.

I don't understand how this guy has been playing Skyrim for years, and looks into every nook and cranny, but never once found a nirnroot. There's like 2 or 3 along the river on the walk away from Helgen. There are some in the cities. Pretty much every body of water has them and they stand out like a big, green, sore thumb.

I don't know why, and couldn't even try to explain - or justify why ... But I actually like the Skyrim Nirnroot sound.

I personally feel that the toned down RPG aspects does wonders for the game when it comes to replayability. You can just jump in and play over and over again because of how simple and easy the early game is. There's been a fair amount of failed attempts to get back into Morrowind simply because I can't bring myself to go back to missing attacks on a dice roll in the early game. People diss it for simplicity, and yet it's the one in the franchise that has so easy to play quickly that replaying Skyrim again has become a community meme.

I got static skill leveing mod + no experience while leveling skills mod.. so leveling stuff like smithing is way less repetitive but it's still balanced.

You can level up smithing really fast by just using an NPC for carrying Dwemer Items by using the "I need you to do something" and asking then to carry said item, without it overburdening them. Then just melt everything into dwemer ingots and craft dwemer bows until you reach 100. Actually sells pretty well and levels up smithing fast.

@@ilovehotdogs125790 Yeah I prefer playing this way myself. I dig the base system but it can be too tedious after many playthroughs

@@shadodovahkiin3951 this is also a really good choice. Darren Korb is really talented

Got me tearin’ up here friend 😢

sorry, bro. If only it was possible to play in DX12, the game would run much better and we could load all those hundreds of amazing mods. But since it was built in old technology, new computers have trouble keeping up with FPS. I had to built a super computer to be able to play it in all its full potential.

It's still capturing me to this day. Every time I sit down for a playthrough, I try to find something new, try a new set up, do different missions. Aside from other Elder Scrolls games, I cannot think of another game that actually brought me genuine happiness to play in the last few years given the sorry state modern gaming is in.

Thats me right now I’ve always heard good things about skyrim but I thought it was never the game for me but i just started playing 4 days ago level 7 orc and the exploration and the gameplay is unbelievable magic seems OP asf tho

i remember when i used to hunt dragonflyes with a bow when i was 6 and i actually had a great aim. i used to hunt mudcrabs, dragonflyes, bees, deers, giants, sabre tooths and bears. i remember i was scared to the bone of spiders lol. i used to only play as kajiit because i liked cats and i remember that i accidentally became a vampire and i didnt know because i couldnt read back in that time. it was very weird because at day i would be very weak but i just started playing at night and i noticed i was much more powerful (probably its just because of the sneaking boost you get at night when youre outside, i didnt knew of that boost at that time so becoming a vampire kinda forced me to learn about it lol), i also remember collecting a shit ton of nirnroot and vampire dust because my uncle told me i could make invisibility potions with them, he then helped me to make them and i was absolutelly disappointed that the invisibility effect in Skyrim is almost useless because Bethesda and the enemies could still see me most of the time. back in the day i would only play as an archer, like, i didnt even carry any other type of weapons on my inventory, i was a full archer. i had this one ebony bow that had a green effect on it (probably had stamina damage enchantment). i also remember being inside this one fortress that looked kinda like a thalmor fortress but all the guards wore ebony armors, i dont know where it is to this day and im not even sure if it really existed, but i was stuck in it and i literally had to go to a save i had made earlier to get out of that place. i then spent a few years without playing Skyrim because i didnt have a PC nor console to play, and when i came back i finally had my first contact with the DLCs, at this time i had lost all my aiming skills with the bow so i replaced the bow with a dagger and became an assassin, i remember falling in love with the dawnguard DLC as soon as i saw the crossbows and found out that Serana couldnt be killed, to this moment all the followers i had previously ended up dying so i was just playing by myself. i then started playing with daggers, crossbows and using Serana to tank the damage when we fought an enemy i knew i couldnt take (that was basically all enemies since my main focus was putting points on stamina because "more run more happy" and because i would rather put points on speech than in light armor. i was the definition of glass-cannon 💀). later that same year i finally beaten the main-storyline and mid the main-story i came across Miraak and after i beaten the main-storyline i decided i would kill that mf because he was stealling my dragon souls and i wanted to unlock my new shouts. so for the next 2 months i would be struggling to reach him because fuck Dragonborn DLC these dungeons are a maze and the enemies are extremelly overpowered. but eventually i killed him and when i got his mask i throw it into the frozen lake on the forgotten vale because it was useless and i ended up hating Miraak more than i hated Braith. then later my PC broke again and i would spend a few more years without Skyrim, when i finally came back i finally owned the game in my personal steam account and in the first 2 weeks i had 200 hours of gameplay, i made 5 characters in those 200 hours of gameplay and simply accepted i couldnt play as anything other than an assassin after i turned a two-handed sword warrior, a mage and a dual-wielding battleaxe warrior into different types of assassin builds 💀 i love skyrim

@@long-long. Maybe they weren't referring to single player games, but, just games in general?

Streets of Whiterun is my favourite. Gives the tingles.

Oh yes! 11.11.11 1 hour before afternoon school i had this experience. I can remember it like its yesterday.

Do you get to the cloud district very often? Oh what am I saying, of course you don't.

Congrats man, you won at life👏i was also a freshman at the time and getting on the 360 and jumping into chat with my friends always felt good. My first born will be here in a few days and you bet your ass she'll know what skyrim is😂 all the best to you and your family🙏

@@carson6707 congrats, friend and good luck

We're around the same age. The last one I fell in love with was Planescape Torment - beaten for the first time last month. Outer Wilds before that, beaten two years ago. It's not you, it's the games you're playing. I also never really cared for Skyrim past its presentation, so obviously everyone is different and has their own tastes but go play Outer Wilds. Not the Obsidian one (Outer Worlds) but the astronaut Majora's Mask game.

I believe that there is a mod for "multiplayer Skyrim". Then you and your son can maybe team up?

​@@guccimalcs I'm 28 and my son is still only 2 but I can't wait for the day to come when i can watch him discover skyrim for the first time. I like making argonian characters so maybe it'll be the lizard game in our house 😂

Skyrim will always hold a special place in my. It brings memories of being a care free kid, amazed by the massive world to explore. I always play it around Christmas to relive the memories of when I first played it. Truly an ungorgettable game

Lol I thought I was the only one who does this, I reboot it every November close to thanksgiving, been doing that since I got it day one 😅

Same I too always play it Nov-Dec maybe it just takes me back to getting it for christmas all those years ago and traversing the cold mountains while it's cold irl

Play red dead redemption 2, knocks skyrim out.

Starfield is coming out September 6th. I might buy it day one but I swear if they do me like Cyberpunk and Saints Row I might never buy day one again.

Yay. Escapism!

i have consistently played skyrim since its launch date, i recently rediscovered my love for skyrim with VR. the game is so totally different and you notice things you never seen before. i spend many many hours in dungeons just looking at the place. exploring books, trying to read books and just having one of the most fun ive ever had on ANY game. if you have never played VR skyrim i 100000000000000000000% ercommend

At release not enough praise was given to what a good job they did addressing Oblivion's arguably biggest problem of having hard-to-distinguish copy-paste procedural dungeons, basically all of the ayleid ruins and caves were like that (most infamous is probably how people got sick of the oblivion gates for the same-ness). Skyrim's diversity in cave layouts etc was really orders of magnitude improved. Not that there was no copy paste, it's inevitable when there is so much content, but the amount of hand crafting small and large interior spaces made a huge difference.
