Still, there’s a strange, overbearing feeling of shame in being excited for the same game again. It’s almost hypnotic in how much of an appeal it has, and it’s not like we can pull a James McAvoy and smash our discs - well, not all of us. I already boot it up regularly for a quick dose of serotonin because its familiarity is therapeutic - I’m sure many of you feel a similar connection to this game for whatever reason. Fretting over it feels like a waste of energy when this is just a neat excuse to dive back into a nostalgic goldmine all these years later. Skyrim’s anniversary edition has likely had little to no impact on the next outing’s development. Whatever the case, the Elder Scrolls 6 is only in the design phase.
TIME SINK SKYRIM MOD MOD
Playing Skyrim instead of fiddling with mod managers? Inconceivable. It was only a matter of time before Bethesda brought them in-house, which is especially beneficial to us because it means we’ll be getting a pre-modded build of the game, and that extends to consoles. Modders are lending a hand in a more official capacity, which makes sense given that they have provided Elder Scrolls games with a sense of enduring longevity since Daggerfall. This new version of Skyrim comes with 500 Creation Club additions and an all-new mechanic - fishing. Not even Patrick Stewart got people on board with The Elder Scrolls quite like Skyrim did.Ĭan't wait to get pummeled by Spriggans after wandering too close to Falkreath at level 1 again. At any rate, the gameplay loop that reels us in still stands tall a decade later with some of the most intuitive RPG elements in the genre, hence its immense pull throughout the years. The bugs are mostly fun and harmless, like a horse being propelled into the air to meet with Buzz Aldrin on Secunda. Sure, it’s a janky game with bugs galore, but it was like that at launch and it rarely gets in the way.
TIME SINK SKYRIM MOD MODS
Skyrim may have been ported to everything short of a minifridge over the last ten years, but the fact the anniversary edition comes with a bunch of pre-installed mods gives it a leg up over the existing special edition. The answer is simple: people will buy it. This time around, it’s a remaster of a remaster, and that begs the question: “Why?” Ten years on and the same game is launching yet again. A lot has changed, but the two of us - the two of me - have something in common: Skyrim.
It’s now 2021 and I’m a journalist fresh out of university struggling to fall asleep at night. The angst of an alien environment sinks in as I clamber to make new friends to join me on this perilous trek through adolescence. It’s 2011 and I’m starting secondary school.
