But a lot of that melted away over time, as Skyrim‘s world is a joy to explore in spite of those pratfalls. Selecting options without a mod like SkyUI is a chore, and if you’re a caster on a controller, you’re going to be fiddling with menus more than actually casting things. There’s that honeymoon period with all open-world games where they feel better than they are, partially because you’ve invested so much into that one playthrough, so I never really rush to judgment with games like this - especially when it comes to Bethesda’s wheelhouse, which has a storied history of well…lackluster stories.Ī lot of aspects of Skyrim feel dated and glossed over by the special edition sheen, particularly the combat - and especially on consoles. I’m straight-up unimpressed by the campaign, which was a weird feeling to have since it begged the question of whether or not it was ever justified. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition (PC, PS4, Xbox One )
So while I wouldn’t really run out and tell anyone to get Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: Special Edition, especially if you’ve played it already, it speaks to a certain crowd that will want to relive those tales all over again. And if you’re going the console route, mods don’t hurt either.
No, like most Bethesda games, the stories that you create on your own by doing random dumb acts is where all the fun is. As I made my way through the world of Skyrim last week, a familiar feeling set in - my quest isn’t as joyous when I’m taking the critical path.
