I originally picked up ES 5: Skyrim for Xbox 360 a few years after release. Microsoft refused to make it backwards compatible for the Xbox One, maybe because they released the special edition specifically for it. Although annoying, I grabbed it at a massive discount ($12) and once quarantine lock-downs happened I powered through to the finish. I completed the Companions, Thieves Guild, Dark Bromance, Main quest, and hundreds of side quests. I even dabbled through building homes and the Dawnguard DLC. It took.... forever. But I have never been so surprised by the level of detail that was jam packed into the main game back in 2011.
For those who like:
- Open world RPGs
- Medieval fantasy realms
- Dragons
- Questing
- Making your own moral decisions (completing some of the most fleshed out quest lines requires some questionable moral decisions).
- Variety in style of play
- Managing massive inventories
