I was watching "...why Skyrim?" by Razbuten on sloptube this aft and it's so weird that it finally took Starfield for people to realise. Like Fallout 76 wasn't enough, only now are negative things people were first saying about Skyrim in 2012 finally bleeding into mainstream consciousness. It's so wild, like wow they ruined the magic system? The game has worse writing than a PS1 era Mega Man X game??? Skyrim is just shitty Game of Thrones?? Welcome to thirteen years ago!!

Bethesda hasn't made a really good game since 2002, but it'll probably be years before that realisation sinks in.

It's not great but walking around a town at night while Streets of Whiterun plays is comfy

Skyrim's soundtrack is still decent, mostly because it is the same composer as Morrowind n Oblivion =)

NOOOOO but given Marty ODonnell it doesnt shock me when composers are bad people

It was cheating when they re-used the Morrowind and Soltheism themes in the Dragonborn expansion.
