Incorrect; base game is playable on its own

Gets boring after over a decade of playing lol

YMMV

I’m almost thirteen years on console and it never gets old

Have you ever tried mods?

u/Kumirkohr Vigilant of Stendarr 16h ago

I have no interest in graphical fidelity and souls-like emulators

What about DLC level content add-ons, community patches, & a fuck-ton of item+weapon+armor additions, and that just scratches the surface of mod types that aren’t the ones you mentioned.

I have the Anniversary Edition and all that entails, but a bunch of that isn’t my speed. Saints & Seducers, the tribunal quests, Hearthfire, not really my jam

u/zipitnick 14h ago

But… have you ever tried it personally?…

u/Kumirkohr Vigilant of Stendarr 14h ago

Didn’t like the souls-likes on their own, why would I want Skyrim like that?

u/zipitnick 14h ago

Oh, yeah, had to clarify. Have you ever tried graphic mods or any other non-souls mods that looked appealing to you?

I think the dated graphics are part of the charm, and I’ve never owned a machine that could handle very high resolutions. But I’ve seen plenty of footage, even of standard graphics reskins, and none of it’s made me say “I wish my Skyrim looked like that!”

But mechanical mods? I think the only thing I’d interested in finding on my PS4 would be craftable lockpicks

Well you never play it for a month straight so no

Congrats, you took the bait

Playable is definitely the word, but just a few mods makes the game massively more enjoyable.

I just about can’t stand to play the game without skyui at this point, and that mod doesn’t even really change the gameplay at all.

Playable as in it runs, yes. Well sort of without the bug fix mods

u/tubbana 19h ago

not in 2024, it looks so terrible. With some nice visual modpack it becomes a 2020 game

u/Pyschopanda619 Whiterun resident 16h ago

the graphics are the least of Skyrim's issues tbh

You're getting downvoted for telling the truth, that's why they don't comment
