    Скажем так.. меня бросила девушка потому что я уделял ей меньше времени чем Skyrim.
    Думаю ей стоило самой попробовать.

    Still this masterpiece game. I suggest you go to it sooner if you haven't played it yet. The only problem is that the bugs are relatively high and the graphics are relatively low for 2011 and so on

    Skyrim is a very disappointing game on the premise that it's an RPG. It's more of a sandbox than a classic RPG. It doesn't have a very intuitive leveling system, it offers no restrictions, and I honestly felt like it gave players zero incentive to do anything with the story. I can't keep interested for any longer than an hour with it. If you enjoy it, that's fine, but I don't think it'sSkyrim is a very disappointing game on the premise that it's an RPG.

    It's simply one of the best games ever. In every time I play Skyrim, i never got bored, instead of that, i always got surprised. Thank you Bethesda for this master piece

    Very rich and distracting world. Although I played the game around 2017, it did not feel much old, being over half a decade old. The story and side missions very very engaging. The open-world experience was very well-made.

    When you evaluate something, you have a reference point. For me, the reference point for a movie is The Dark Knight, and the reference point for a game is Skyrim, which has always been a reference point for me, from when I didn't play many games to when I played many great games.

    Skyrim is okay, it does a lot of things right and a lot of things wrong.

    I do not feel strongly about Skyrim.

    I'm not the guy to ask about a recommendation of Skyrim.

    To clarify I am only taking into account Skyrim and the DLC that fallowed, modding will not be taken into account; if it was it would be 10, as the game with modding has so much replayability its absurd with over 1.9 billion downloaded mods on nexus. The modding community has practically made this game for me.

    Okay so Skyrim is set in the world of Tamriel in the land of well Skyrim.

The modding community has practically made this game for me.

    Okay so Skyrim is set in the world of Tamriel in the land of well Skyrim. First off this world is huge and with the added DLC even bigger with the main land of Skyrim aswell as Solstheim and Castle Volkihar (I think?). The world has alot to explore with many dungeons, nearly 200 of them in fact unfortunately many of them feel very similar however. The game offers many quests with a fairly long main story and alot of side quests, one thing I appreciate about the side quests of Skyrim is many don't feel like quests to just give the player a little xp and gold for killing 5 enemies then returning, alot of them have little stories to go along with them which makes the world feel richer and more alive; as the NPCs how hand out these quests don't just end up feeling like statues to boost leveling.
    The main story of the base game in my opinion has always felt somewhat dull, it never really interested me to the point of me being excited to see what would happen next; this is even more so on repeat playthroughs of the game. The ones that stick out especially are the "Retrieve the Dragon Stone" and the "Horn of Jurgen Wind Caller" quests, I had always dreaded doing these quests for the poor pacing of the missions and they aren't all to interesting. The ending I will not spoil but I found the boss fight extremely underwhelming as well. I feel the Base game unmodded really doesn't hold up much today to be honest, and it does hurt to say that but I know it's true. One gripe I have with the game overall including DLC is the overall look of the game, it gets very tiring of seeing bleak snowy mountains and more cold environments. However this also kind of is in the games favor because when you discover a new area it makes the experience more of a spectacle.

    The Dawngaurd DLC adds much to be desired for me, from the new faction to join of the already many in Skyrim, to the new environments of vampire infested lands. One moment I remember fondly is when you meet the two dragons during the DLC for the first time, it really felt awesome.

    The Hearthfire DLC is pretty cool, makes the game feel much more alive and immersive with the implements of new Housing and adopting children, and other changes.

    The Dragonborn DLC Is alright in my opinion, I really liked the look of most of raven rock but at some point in the DLC the color pallet changes to just green and black for the longest time, it gets very boring very quickly. But the gameplay of Skyrim in general make up for it and other short comings of this DLC.

    Skyrim also has one of if not the most addicting leveling systems out there, it feels really rewarding to get new gear from enemies or create it on your own. And the game is balanced in most regards. Lastly the base game bugs, its part of Skyrim at this point... Its funny, but you'll probably want to install a bug patcher mod .    … Expand

    Skyrim is my favorite RPG of all time. you will never run out of things to do in this game.

Bethesda has now just turned into a money hungry and scummy corporation. They add meaningless DLC to all their games and they just release Skyrim on repeat on every console generation. it is honestly a disgrace to how amazing this game is and the impact it had on so many individuals. I think the game can make a legendary comeback if they just handed it over to the modders.… Expand

    After almost a decade, Skyrim remains a shining hallmark in the open world genre and one of Bethesda’s most beloved games. It seems no matter how many times it is re-released people find a reason to jump back in. There are so many things to be, do, murder, explore, solve, craft and experience that there is never a shortage of things to do in the land of Nords and Dragons. You never knowAfter almost a decade, Skyrim remains a shining hallmark in the open world genre and one of Bethesda’s most beloved games. It seems no matter how many times it is re-released people find a reason to jump back in. There are so many things to be, do, murder, explore, solve, craft and experience that there is never a shortage of things to do in the land of Nords and Dragons. You never know you might spend 20 hrs finding a rare enchanted shawl. Iterating off of previous successes in the Elderscrolls series the game has a rich lore that manages to strike a balance that keeps returning players engaged but is not too overwhelming to newcomers. A true feat. In celebrating the ten year anniversary we hopped in with our first ever modded character-run and it must be said that a dedicated community of modders has truly built an immense amount of additional content that has players coming back still - a decade past release! As with other Elder Scrolls titles one of the only rough points in the game is the opening hours where you are asked to trudge through a fully realized world from point A to B (intentionally to peak your interest in exploration) in ways that make initial quests drag on and on until you have earned some fast-travel points along the map. Few games capture the momentum of leveling up meaningfully in an open world but Skyrim nails the feeling of becoming a hero slowly growing in power and taking on areas that were previously too difficult with more ease as time goes on. Whether you main line the primary path or get lost on side quests there is no wrong way to enjoy the snowy northern realm. Games of this caliber with fan bases this long after release are very uncommon and it is never too late to delve into this one. FUS-RAH-DON’T miss it.… Expand

    The legendary game from the no less legendary American studio Bethesda Softworks. This game is the basis of modern popular RPG games. And it doesn't need any special comments. I will only note that in 2022 it plays well, you can get stuck for more than a dozen hours. My subjective rating is 8/10.

    Unfortunately, Skyrim trips and falls on its own (most probably, to make the cool-sounding deadline of 11-11-11) and just before it reaches perfection as the ultimate specimen of its genre, it self-destructs in a crucial aspect of game design: the interface and the peripheral components (inventory, journal, map, etc)... but that is not to say that Skyrim is anything but a truly majestic, epic RPG that will suck you right in its cosmos.
