HE CAN’T KEEP GETTING AWAY WITH IT
In my defense I picked up a cheap used VR headset and playing Skyrim in VR and holding all the sparkly spells in your hands is genuinely a pretty novel and magical experience

i’m also a little modding goblin so i totally get you on that angle, i even get the appeal of other bethesda games (i am a new vegas girlie, as is trans tradition), i just don’t understand why people are still so drawn to skyrim of all games, i guess. it just feels like a very generic open world fantasy game. i had the same issue with oblivion, thinking on it.
idk, sorry, i’m not trying to shit on your good time or anything. i’m glad you’re enjoying yourself! i’ve always just kinda bounced off the non-NV bethesda offerings and i occasionally find myself wondering what i’m not seeing that leads people to love them (mostly skyrim) so much. thanks for taking a stab at explaining!
a major characteristic that makes it a perennial draw is imo that its so generic and mid. plus the technical side that it Just Works better than oblivion.
in a an actually good game completely altering core systems and questlines would actually risk you losing something—incidentally FNV has a lot less of this, and expansion-style is the main way stuff got added, since the original stuff is good. but with Skyrim? there’s overhauls for every questline and mechanic, because the base was so barebones. ive played like 6 different experiences doing the Magic School in Skyrim with different mechanics & progressions.
