thenobody0 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Of course we still play it. Why else would we be here? O.o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
UDReese Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Still playing. Took a short break a couple months ago but I'm immersed again. On my latest character I've actually discovered two places (vanilla, no DLC or dungeon mods - yet) that I've never seen before. Guess that comes from, "Oh yeah, this quest. I have to go THIS way" over and over and not enough, "Hmm, let's just wander somewhat in this direction for a while". :) Finally trying to play a mage. Getting easier around level 18 now.

HaleyRose23 Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 Definately still playing. Its my favorite game ever. Actually the only games I play are strictly Bethesda right now. Not much of a gamer, unless I'm playing these games(Fallout, elder scrolls). Pretty happy right now too, I just perfected my enb settings and look, so now my game looks perfect for me :D But yea, Skyrim isn't dead, wont be for a long time, look at Oblivion, people are still going strong on that game. Hell people are still going strong on older games than that. Anyone who says Skyrim is dead is just impatient and wants a new elder scrolls game hehe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheObstinateNoviceSmith Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 The community was dead because the community was busy playing Skyrim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same here, actually quite a few. I found that using SkyUI to turn off the compass forces exploration... it makes Skyrim seem large, and there is always something new to see. Highly recommend you try it. Its too bad the quest object basically require to to use waypoints. "Go to X to get Y." Doesn't really leave much room for looking around.

RatcatcherOfKvatch Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 Oblivion, New Vegas, and Skyrim stand the test of time. I would also say Fallout 3 except it's really depressing to return to after New Vegas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTSherman Posted June 27, 2013 Share Posted June 27, 2013 I've been playing again, great game when you need single player. My games are generally dated, BF3, Skyrim, Shogun Total War. I liked BF2, you could play the mp maps in sp mode with bots, complete with the vehicles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EnaiSiaion Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 Its too bad the quest object basically require to to use waypoints. "Go to X to get Y." Doesn't really leave much room for looking around. There's a mod (I think it's called Even Better Quest Descriptions?) that improves your quest log to the point where you don't need the arrows anymore.

21crescendo Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 You! Fetcher! How dare you! :D Of course we're still playing it. Just because you are burnt out, doesn't mean we all are. BTW good players who know about the right mods can never get burnt out. Vanilla Skyrim on PS3 was atrocious though! Bleghhh! :pinch: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
frank lee Posted June 28, 2013 Share Posted June 28, 2013 (edited) Something I've noticed is the mods seem to be getting . . . deeper. The initial rush of retextures, player homes full of god items passes and eventually the huge complex mods Vlija, Civil War Overhaul and Helgen Reborn become more stable with work. I think its these deep mods that are the reason for the games life - Several lifetimes, if you're talented. It does seem a shame that very few mods exploit the fact that the whole of Tamriel is out there though, beyond the invisable barriers around Skyrim. Probably due to some technical reason I'm too uninformed to apreciate. Edited June 28, 2013 by frank lee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
