    I grew up on Skyrim and Oblivion. Spent ungodly numbers of hours mashing incompatible mods together and even made a few of my own.

    Elder scrolls meant something to me I’m so done with this series tho. Id ask how you fuck up on anything this bad but looking around… Could’ve been worse they didn’t make the night mother a neo nazi at least 😐

      I played and modded Skyrim at the wazoo back in the day too, and haven’t touched it in a decade. It still holds a really special place in my heart in a worldbuilding and lore space that nothing I’ve played since, newer or older has sated quite as strongly, including other elderly scrolls games.

      I’ve just started replaying it, as there is basically an entire story’s worth of high quality expanded mod content to explore, plus the original game has faded to a point of re-enjoying it. I’m probably going to introduce my partner to it with my own riff on the Gate to Sovngarde modlist.

      The thing is, I don’t care for the next game. I have no trust in Bethesda to make something that scratches the itch that Skyrim did, I don’t expect it to be moddable in the same way looking at the creation club, and I literally expect it to be an objectively boring game.

      If I want more of the elder scrolls experience I fell in love with, I have it in the old games.
