Skyrim - Do you still play?

No not much anymore, they style of the game got slightly boring for me and I can't really do it much anymore. However It has plenty of content in game and I am excited for the next one in the series!

 

I play it, but... it isn't really a "still" gaming experience for me yet. I actually bought the game not too long again when it was on sale on the Humble Bundle store. Had been wanting to play it for a long time but every time I thought of it I either couldn't afford it or I wasn't in a position where I could get it. I'm 20, but my parents still don't approve of M-rated games, so I had to wait to get it on my PC where I can play it without them watching what I'm doing and judging whether they like me owning the game or not. It is annoying to still have them hovering over me at this age...

But, I have digressed a little from the original topic. Anyway, yes, I play the game, but I haven't owned it for too long anyway so that's a given. I'm really enjoying it, I just wish that I could play it for longer than 15 minutes at a time before my PC starts heating up on me.

 

Even after I had sunk a decent ammount of time playing Skyrim, every now and then I dont mind playing it. It does become slightly boring when you have nowhere left to wander. Mods definitely increase the length of time I could keep playing and I would highly recommend creating your own areas in the Creation Engine.

 

I think of it often, but I haven't played the game in a few months. I get really sucked in when I do pick it up again, so it makes me feel guilty about how much I am playing it! I still need to finish quite a few of the side quests and the Dawnguard and Dragonborn expansion quests. It's a great escape from life when I need it, though, and very easy to pick up again.

 

Agreed! I just haven't found the time to pick it up again... I have been meaning to because I haven't gotten too far yet.

 

For some off reason the FO4 announcement only made me want to play Skyrim even more. I guess its because of the large scope the game contains and I hope they follow it up with the same ambition. I just love exploring the world, it feels alive, its so easy to get into and roleplay. Plus they released Wow weapons as mods now so the party is just getting started. Still waiting for Skywind.

 

Yeah, I still fire it up every now and then, especially when I hear about a hot new mod. It's funny how I got bored of vanilla Skyrim a loooong time ago (like, years ago), but mods keep the game alive.

 

Nope, even when it went free to play it still wasn't enough to bring me back. It seems pretty lacklustre and really it feels like a worse version of skyrim. The MMO part was forced on what could have been a fine skyrim expansion. I know some of my friends are still pretty big fans but I've never been able to get into it like them.

 

I don't play it anymore, but my wife busts out our Xbox 360 copy every now and then, lol. It was such an incredible game in so many ways. That was a good year for consoles guys like me, man. I think we also got Arkham City and Uncharted 3 during the same couple months. I try to play everything on every system if I can. Can't afford a new PC rig at the moment, but I definitely want to get back in to it, because I haven't played a good PC game since Oblivion, lol.

 

Yep, been playing since the launch. The game just never gets boring for me, it's really addicting.

 

I still play a lot. I think the game is honestly refreshing compared to ESO and I like to play the game for immersion/role playing purposes.

 

Oh yeah. I use the game to basically get away from all the crazy things happening in my life. I feel playing the game is a much better way to pass the time than watching some dumb videos online anyways. Plus, right now I am waiting for all of my favorite TV series to come back with a new season, you know like GoT, sV, etc. Finally, whenever it gets really cold, I like to enter the game and play as if I am running through the snow Geeky I know.

 

It's such an immersive game, I know exactly what you mean. I'll start up Skyrim once in a while just to relax. I've already spent hundreds of hours on the game, but for some reason I always manage to find something to do in it, and I'm still only playing on the Xbox 360. I really should get it for PC and dabble into the world of mods...

 

I still play it to burn time now and then. Mods definitely add a lot to the experience.

 

I couldn't possibly even consider playing it without mods now. It just seems so bland now, though I could play unmodded Morrowind any day of the week and still have fun. Though a fully modded game of Skyrim isn't too bad, to be honest. I still pick it up every now and again.

 

Yeah, mods make the game sooo much better.

 

I've only found myself playing Skyrim occasionally lately. I'll open it up every once in awhile, usually just to explore the place and not really do anything overly worthwhile. It's a shame. I'd probably play more if my pc could handle it a bit better.

 

Oh definitely. Skyrim is so far the only Elder Scrolls game I really enjoy. Oblivion was just entirely off-putting to me, and I don't know any of the other ones except the newest one, Elder Scrolls Online.
I've actually just made it the furthest I've ever played before, and I can't wait to get even further!

 

No I haven't play it yet. My friends (most of them are big gaming fans) adviced it to me... but yeah, I guess I don't like gaming that much.

 

Yep, I still play Skyrim like crazy. Even with over 500 hours of gameplay, the world of Tamriel never ceases to amaze and captivate me. And with mods, the replayability value of the game just goes through the roof. Even now, with almost five years after its release, it has been my go to game whenever I'm bored.
