In my professional opinion, as someone who has never had, nor will ever have a life, Skyrim is the single greatest thing in existence.
Why is this game so awesome? Because its always being updated and upgraded by thousands of fans everyday. There are thousands of mods for this game for just about everything you can imagine.
Skyrim was released in 2011, and it was awesome. It set a new standard for RPGs, one which no one else has been able to reach. The player roams a massive open world which a detailed and interesting history, free to do whatever they want. Want to save the world? sure. Someone you don’t like asks you to save the world? kill them and take their stuff.
It’s a game where you can do anything, or nothing.
The game has since been given so many unofficial upgrades that even four years later it’s still awesome, even more awesome than it was when it started.
The games open world makes its perfect for adding new content, and there’s a lot of it. All of it free. At the time I am writing this there are 44,604 mods on nexus.
You can use these mods to add a whole new element of realism and difficulty into the game, or do weird shit like ride a giant chicken.
The awesomeness of this game comes from limitless potential. anything can be added to it, and it never gets old.
If this game does have any problems its that the original game is boring now. I recently decided to play Skyrim on Xbox 360 instead of on PC, just to see what it was like without all the mods. It’s just boring by comparison.
To literally everyone, if you haven’t played Skyrim yet do so now. Go to steam or whichever source of gaming awesomeness you prefer, and get a copy of Skyrim, and after you have finished one of the best games ever made, install so many mods it unrecognizable and filled with uniquely Skyrim themed awesome.
