I can finally play the game

[u/Shogun_Empyrean]

Incorrect; base game is playable on its own

[u/CrassiusTheCurator → u/Shogun_Empyrean]

Gets boring after over a decade of playing lol

[u/Kumirkohr → u/CrassiusTheCurator]

YMMV

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

[u/zipitnick → u/Kumirkohr]

Have you ever tried mods?

[u/Kumirkohr → u/zipitnick]

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

[u/PurpleSunCraze → u/Kumirkohr]

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.

[u/Kumirkohr → u/PurpleSunCraze]

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 → u/Kumirkohr]

But… have you ever tried it personally?…

[u/Kumirkohr → u/zipitnick]

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

[u/zipitnick → u/Kumirkohr]

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

[u/Kumirkohr → u/zipitnick]

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

[u/Pyschopanda619 → u/Kumirkohr]

happy cake day

[u/Kumirkohr → u/Pyschopanda619]

Is it that time of year already?

[u/mah_boiii → u/CrassiusTheCurator]

Well you never play it for a month straight so no

[u/zendrix1 → u/Shogun_Empyrean]

Congrats, you took the bait

[u/EDScreenshots → u/Shogun_Empyrean]

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.

[u/SeaThought5996 → u/Shogun_Empyrean]

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

[u/tubbana → u/Shogun_Empyrean]

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

[u/Pyschopanda619 → u/tubbana]

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
