To start my Bethesda bonanza we have Skyrim Is An Absolute Nightmare - This Is Why. Next is Fallout: New Vegas, then Starfield.
Skyrim is one of my favorite games, and I tried to make this review similar to my older ones, as I found making my Disco Elsium review a bit stressful.
I used ideas I used to use, like green screening myself into Skyrim, keeping sketches short and to the point, and reviewing other games within the Skyrim review. This time is was Zelda: Tears Of The Kingdom and the Resident Evil 4: Remake.
ENJOY

The bones on the ground in skyrim are more lethal than most fucking mobs and it will never stop being one of the funniest things ever. Once had my character on legendary INSTANTLY DIE because I slightly clipped a pelvis bone at the perfect angle while running. Truly Skyrim is a magical experience.

Not entirely true. Skyrim has almost no fail states or timers on quests (I think the literal only exception being getting married since you have to be at the temple of mara at the right time), the grand majority get added to your journal and don't leave until you either complete the quest or supersede them with another quest further down its timeline. Everyone waits exactly where they need to indefinitely for you to finish a quest.

Honestly man, it's the way to go. I found out early in that the dragons don't come until proper beginning the mq and restarted because at low levels you have no efficient methods, so fighting dragons is a battle of attrition while you watch it kill the NPC you were gonna turn in a quest for. Seriously man... Skyrim is better without the dragons lol.

This is why some Morrowind mechanics should be brought back. Fame and Infamy counted for something, your skill levels could bar you from joining or progressing a faction, some factions would stop you from being able to join other factions, some quests would have implications down the line.

I think the problem with a lot of the "difficulty" and combat mods in Skyrim is that they mostly function by making things take longer to kill, which isn't the real problem with Skyrim's combat. In fact, it tends to make things worse, because the actual problem is that the combat is fairly simplistic and larger health pools just mean you're standing there, hacking at mud crabs, for longer.

I think they mostly just try to do too much. The concept of leveled areas that Requiem has is great - but there's no way to get it by itself, it comes with a hundred other combat changes that make mudcrabs gods, and most of them will break the game if you disable them. Or they add things like a dodge roll, which looks ridiculous and is buggy and disorienting to use, and just removes options from combat because it's so good that you have to use it (and you can no longer run away from enemies or be an archer or mage, because they just roll on up to you at ridiculous speeds)

@@REALPEDROGAMEPLAYS I don't know what concoction of mods I have that made my game this way, but the necromancer in Meridia's tomb was a massive pain in the ass to defeat, took me over an hour of swapping my rings and necklaces, mixing the handful of shouts I had access to b level 20 , and drinking enough potions to out heal his crippling ice bolts. I do have TK dodge as well, which works wonders in situations like these. The kicker is his HP pool wasn't even anything impressive, I could kill his first phase in like 4 hits. He would just endlessly cast a regeneration spell whenever I backed off to dodge one of his projectiles that could drop me to 1/4 hp in one hit. But god damn was it satisfying when I finally beat him. Dawnbreaker is nice too I guess.

No quest, no journey, just a necromancer in the woods practicing his craft. Gotta love it.

Skyrim has _some_ response to the player character's interaction, but it seriously pales in comparison to past entries and it's sad to see they still really haven't learned from their past accomplishments. Only the guards comment on any of your skills or relations, including ones they probably couldn't have a chance of knowing like the Thieves Guild or the Dark Brotherhood, organizations apparently sworn on secrecy. Everyone else in the game is completely oblivious as to who you are even if you, as the reborn aspect of a man who ascended to godhood, save the entire universe from a fucking world eating dragon and single handedly end a bloody civil war in a sweeping victory. Some merchants in Morrowind would outright refuse service with you if you try to sell them illegal goods, while others were willing to turn a blind eye depending on factors such as personality/speech skill, faction relation, race, and relation with them individually. Some people would refuse to talk to you if you had an illness. In Daggerfall you have reputations with not only factions but also different levels of society including the peasant class, nobility, merchants, scholars, and underworld figures/entities, and some of these are determined by the story that was autogenerated for your character based on how you built their character sheet before the proper gameplay even fucking begins.

Indeed, the archmage quest requires you to learn what, three spells total? Yeah, the freedom is nice but it really sounds like those quests should relie on using the tools for the job. Like sure, if you're always fighting a sword in one hand, a fireball in the other, you should be able to be both archmage and companion's head, why not. But maybe it'd be better if maybe there were an approval system that keeps track of how often you use magic vs stealth of weapons, that wouldn't lock you in the quest but determine at least whether or not you take the head of the guild by the end of it.

You missed out on how you can still make dead dragons fly by crawling into their dead skeleton and firing a single firebolt into the sky, which will launch the dragon a few hundred meters due to how a dragon becomes seemingly weightless after losing a few bones, some scales, a handful of gold, and most of the last guard it ate.

World design is bethesda's greatest strength. They can combine environment design and lore in a way that no-one else can (besides obsidian, they're actually better). Of course, this is assuming that bethesda is adequately familiar with said lore when they do it... AHEM fallout 3 AHEM. But for real, skyrim, oblivion, morrowind, these bethesda golden-age titles are perfect examples. They established lore way back in the 2.5d days of daggerfall and arena, and those games were fine, but it was only after they had a world started that they could make the world feel ALIVE, by connecting the past with the present more thoroughly than ANY OTHER FRANCHISE (again, besides fallout nv). Meanwhile, their artists do the same thing with the Vibe that their writers do with the lore. And *that* is where the immersion comes from. Not just having a convincing environment, or good lore, or even both. But from making the past vibe, and past lore, fundamentally click with the new vibe and new lore. Not just a well made world, but an OLD world, that's been well made for a LONG TIME. Skyrim could never have taken off the way it did without every one of the previous titles. Neither could fallout nv and fallout 4. This is something that most other studios don't get, it's not enough to make an open world RPG, make it graphically and mechanically better, and call it the skyrim killer. You cannot quantify what makes skyrim better. The mods are just people applying their headcanons to the established (or admittedly sometimes retconned) lore. Should orcish armor look less like cobbled together messes and more like ornate mongolian scale mail? (yes, they are supposed to be the finest smiths in the world) Theres a mod for that. Should the vigilants of stendar be a properly fleshed out faction with a serious questline? (definitely) Theres also a mod for that. Should you be able to leave this single tiny region of this huge world? (obviously) Well theres SEVERAL mods for that. Should you be able to say "this belongs in a museum" whenever you pick up something even slightly unique, old, or valuable? (who wouldn't?) There is absolutely a mod for that too. They're not just about refreshing the visuals, or giving you more to do. They're about maximising the degree to which tamriel feels OLD, whatever an old tamriel looks like to you.

@@curvingfyre6810 TL:DR : Skyrim is good. It's magical. And community support is good. Oh what the hell man, I just like the series, it seems like the only franchise Bethesda actually cares about. For real though, Skyrim at its simplest is a pretty good game, and visually it's exactly what fantasy is. Arguably more interesting than things like the Witcher visually because it feels like it's magical. Mods are just a method of perpetuation, and allow a sense of creativity. They actually aren't necessary, but are really nice to have.

in skyrim you are the main character who gets to experience and take part in every single important event that happens in the universe. in elder scrolls history, it is canon that every major questline is done by a different person in roughly the same time period. so in the game you are the assassin from the dark brotherhood who kills the king, AND you are the member of the thieves guild who stops mercer frey, AND you are the dragonborn who captures a dragon in whiterun. in the lore, it is understood that these were all done by different people.

I looked up the Graphics Tutorial on the Nexus for Morrowind and was baffled at how many mods it held. Honestly, I installed the first part of the guide which is just like ten mods, and left the second part of the guide out because it had about a hundred mods that did very detailed things. These mods do so much and have so many configurable things during install and a bunch that are configured in-game. It made the first time playing morrowind in almost 20 years feel just as amazing as the first.
