Even in 2022 it still holds as one of the best RPGs available.

Dr. Michael Morbius (Morbin')
Dr. Michael Mo…

My name is Walter Hartwell White. I live at 308 Negra Arroyo Lane, Albuquerque, New Mexico, 87104. This is my confession. If you're watching this tape, I'm probably dead, murdered by my brother-in-law Hank Schrader. Hank has been building a meth empire for over a year now and using me as his chemist. Shortly after my 50th birthday, Hank came to me with a rather, shocking proposition. He asked that I use my chemistry knowledge to cook methamphetamine, which he would then sell using his connections in the drug world. Connections that he made through his career with the DEA. I was... astounded, I... I always thought that Hank was a very moral man and I was... thrown, confused, but I was also particularly vulnerable at the time, something he knew and took advantage of. I was reeling from a cancer diagnosis that was poised to bankrupt my family. Hank took me on a ride along, and showed me just how much money even a small meth operation could make. And I was weak. I didn't want my family to go into financial ruin so I agreed. Every day, I think back at that moment with regret. I quickly realized that I was in way over my head, and Hank had a partner, a man named Gustavo Fring, a businessman. Hank essentially sold me into servitude to this man, and when I tried to quit, Fring threatened my family. I didn't know where to turn. Eventually, Hank and Fring had a falling out. From what I can gather, Hank was always pushing for a greater share of the business, to which Fring flatly refused to give him, and things escalated. Fring was able to arrange, uh I guess I guess you call it a "hit" on my brother-in-law, and failed, but Hank was seriously injured, and I wound up paying his medical bills which amounted to a little over $177,000. Upon recovery, Hank was bent on revenge, working with a man named Hector Salamanca, he plotted to kill Fring, and did so. In fact, the bomb that he used was built by me, and he gave me no option in it. I have often contemplated suicide, but I'm a coward. I wanted to go to the police, but I was frightened. Hank had risen in the ranks to become the head of the Albuquerque DEA, and about that time, to keep me in line, he took my children from me. For 3 months he kept them. My wife, who up until that point, had no idea of my criminal activities, was horrified to learn what I had done, why Hank had taken our children. We were scared. I was in Hell, I hated myself for what I had brought upon my family. Recently, I tried once again to quit, to end this nightmare, and in response, he gave me this. I can't take this anymore. I live in fear every day that Hank will kill me, or worse, hurt my family. I... All I could think to do was to make this video in hope that the world will finally see this man, for what he really is.

Skyrim remains a masterpiece due to its countless interesting quests, engaging combat and stunning world-building.

Wonderful game that immerses you in the stories.

Vast open world with beautiful scenery but with a very lacking combat gameplay and in my opinion a main quest that constrains the "open-world", since you are the chosen one and will be known and treated as the chosen one instead of creating your own path in a open-world.
Modding for this game is amazing but ultimately didn't help my experience enough to do a full playthrough. Combat just sucks in this game. Most of my playtime hours are because I let Skyrim running in the background or when testing my way too eager modlist.

(Note: Vanilla game only, zero mods)
Likes: Cool Fus Ro Dah (abilities in general), entertaining quest lines, pretty much absolute freedom

Dislikes: Freedom is wasted because a lot of quests are also dead ends/boring, Magic is somehow really boring too.

I hate the fact that if every time i download the game i end restarting from zero and playing too much for weeks.

I don't know why this version of Skyrim is hidden but I played a lot of it and own it though the store says I don't see top comment for link to the original. I do still support Bedthesda tho, its an amazing game company

Legendary game. One of the most popular games ever made and for good reason. Skyrim has an expansive an immersive world, lots to do, lots to explore, and lots to like. It's a Bethesda game, so there is definitely just as expansive a list of bugs with the game, but thankfully there are mods that fix most issues in the game. Speaking of mods, there are an incredible number of them! You can change the game to extreme levels, even making it essentially an entirely different game which keeps the replay-ability high! When factoring in mods, there's not much I can say negative about the game.

All I will say is that there are very few games out there that has been as captivating as TES:Skyrim. From the moment you start the game you get completely immersed into its world and the ongoing events. ONE OF THE BEST GAMES EVER MADE!!!

I would personally recommend to bump that difficulty up, download some mods from nexus/vortex, and enjoy

I have always had a fondness for RPGs when open world RPGs became a thing, I got even more fond. This is, in my opinion the pinnacle or open world RPGs, for fantasy genre. The story is epic the levelling is well designed and quite flexible. The combat is good but FPS was never really designed for melee combat. Being able to mod and customise the game play is unequal. I could not recommend this game more and it has been 11 years since its release.

I recommend not installing mods until you beat the game because I was too impatient and it ruined my save which is kinda my bad to be honest but it was still a fun game highly recommend

I have played this and SE for years, got hooked on it when i was a kid and fell in love with the lore and stories. I still replay this game as i always find new characters to create for different story lines. Its a fun game in my opinion and worth the purchase. SE is pretty good as well if you want slight changes to the graphics :)

Hi,
Skyrim has a lot of features to admire in a in-game setting. If you like divers character builds then you will like Skyrim. The plot has almost a never ending segment that covers a vast territory. Skyrim is a masterful sequel to Oblivion.

Lots of mods (on nexusmods) will provide beautiful graphics and you can follow whatever quest and story you have the most fun with. The old people who shouldn't play are those who always need to be told what to do.

Such good fun. On the computer you get access to mods and console commands, which make this game super fun even for casual gamers. Don't like the grind? Just console command your way to level 99, max perks, and OP armor. Then go beat the game :)

Install > mod it for hours > only play for about 15 minutes/session > finally bored > uninstall > forget about it for 3-4 months > repeat.

Always hoping for that '1st time playing' feelings to come again, but i know it wouldn't. Still a great game nonetheless. (sorry for potato english)

Vintage chocolate chip cookies

Ingredients
150g salted butter, softened
80g light brown muscovado sugar
80g granulated sugar
2 tsp vanilla extract
1 large egg
225g plain flour
½ tsp bicarbonate of soda
¼ tsp salt
200g plain chocolate chips or chunks
Method
STEP 1
Heat the oven to 190C/fan170C/gas 5 and line two baking sheets with non-stick baking paper.

STEP 2
Put 150g softened salted butter, 80g light brown muscovado sugar and 80g granulated sugar into a bowl and beat until creamy.

STEP 3
Beat in 2 tsp vanilla extract and 1 large egg.

STEP 4
Sift 225g plain flour, ½ tsp bicarbonate of soda and ¼ tsp salt into the bowl and mix it in with a wooden spoon.

STEP 5
Add 200g plain chocolate chips or chunks and stir well.

STEP 6
Use a teaspoon to make small scoops of the mixture, spacing them well apart on the baking trays. This mixture should make about 30 cookies.

STEP 7
Bake for 8–10 mins until they are light brown on the edges and still slightly soft in the centre if you press them.

STEP 8
Leave on the tray for a couple of mins to set and then lift onto a cooling rack.

RECIPE TIPS
FREEZING THE BISCUITS
If you’ve frozen the biscuits, take them out and arrange them on a lined baking sheet. Once defrosted, pop them in a medium oven 190C/170 fan/gas mark 5 and heat for 2-3 mins to crisp up. Don’t leave them too long or they’ll dry out.
STORING DOUGH
You can keep the uncooked dough in a sealed container in the fridge for up to two weeks. Simply take some out, dollop on a lined baking tray and allow to come up to room temperature for 5 mins before baking

Since you have a choice between Special Edition and this, you should probably grab special edition... unless the mod you want was never adapted to Special Edition, then you're SOL.

This game was apart of my childhood (I used to play on Xbox 360 years ago) and it does a great job of putting in the world of Skyrim. I would have no problem paying the $60 for new releases for this 10-11 year old game\
