    It's hard to say Ian. Weeks and weeks and weeks of actual playtime I'd suggest. There are still a shitload of quests I've never done though. The dream is to have a save that I don't get bored of where I finally do them all.

    Maybe this is the one.

    You do but most of the quests are rubbish so it's no great loss.

    I always meant to go back to this to do boring stuff like collecting all the dragon masks or those shitty gems that I doubt anyone has ever bothered to get all of.

    Maybe I should give it a go again at some point. I mean I played it for 100 hours or something but then all of a sudden I was like "Nope, I'm done."

    I suspect if I was gonna replay something that sizeable I'd go for either Witcher or one of the Bioware games.

    My brother had a single save that was something like 600+ hours and he got the gems.

    I mean it's 8 years old now so I won't deny it was a slog to get back into it, but while the combat is largely pants the xp-ing and world are on another level and I'm now hooked again.

    Blood on the Ice (a quest I'd never finished before) is such a buggy piece of shit.

    How the fuck do you actually get the amulet?

    EDIT: Finally done it. If anyone gets back into this I'll talk you through it. The internet is not overly helpful.

    I kind of know what you mean with this. The storyline is so Nord-centric that I always end up with a nagging feeling of being out of place if I'm not one. Or at least one of the human races. I get a bit too hung up on the lore sometimes, and sort of feel like if there was a non-human Dragonborn everyone would be like "no, not having that". Which I realise is ridiculous as the game allows you make whatever choice you want, but there you go!

    It definitely feels like the "canon" Dragonborn is meant to be a Nord though, and probably one who runs around twatting things with a giant, two-handed weapon of some description. You get a nice bump to cold resistance as a Nord too, which comes in handy because the cold weather penalty can be brutal sometimes on survival mode, especially if you have to make a long trek out somewhere in the colder regions.

    Disappointing to see from the link below that the clothing warm ratings don't make that much sense.

    There's probably a mod that fixes it.

    I've got a mod to get all those Stones of Barenziah as I've never done it. Or the Dragon Priest masks. Then again, I've never actually completed Skyrim

    Absolutely loving this save now. Not buying anything makes a huge difference to exploring and the like.

    That's Loric accompanied by Uthgerd the Unbroken. We're rocking quite the deadly team now.

    Oh and using the atronach forge I've also acquired some conjuration spells.

    What are you playing as? Nord sword and bow, judging by your stats?

    Bit of everything really. The archery stat came from abusing Faendal whereas the one handed was earned.

    Now I have the Conjure Storm Atronach spell and enough magicka to cast it I'm in business as a mage too.

    Picked up the Special Edition in a sale. If I install a mod like the Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch, am I better doing it through the game, or via the nexus mod manager?

    Got the itch. Started playing this again. Still on my save I had from whenever this version came out, so level 61 or thereabouts. Currently faffing about with perks trying to see if I still want to keep on the same path.

    Yep, that is a pathetic amount of new content for the game. I'd love to see an actual remaster with improved combat etc and while they're at it can we please have Fallout 3 with 4's combat system and mechanics.

    I know they're a big company and this will be a separate team doing this stuff and everything but honestly I'd really just rather they focus on making Starfield look like a game from.... well, let's say the 2010s first, I won't be so ambitious as to try and bring them into the 2020s right away.

    Having been acquired and given they actually know how to make good games (unlike say Ubisoft) I'd be funding that studio with whatever it wants were I Microsoft.

    I mean Bethesda basically make their own genre of sort-of-RPG-but-really-it's-just-stats games these days but they're popular so I assume Microsoft have told them to keep please doing what they've been doing, which is making largely the same game with slight differences.

    I'm going to laugh very much if after all the anticipation Starfield still has the same dead-eyed NPCs, meh characters and non-choices.

    I do find how into Skyrim people still are interesting though. Like, even people who don't go balls-deep on mods seem to still get a lot out of it. I played about 100 hours of it back when it came out because there's just so much of it, didn't get anywhere near finishing the tedious main story, went away from my PC for Christmas and when I came back just had zero interest in getting back to it. I'm not sure I've played any other game for that sort of amount of time only for it to have left genuinely zero impact on me.

    I'd rather they spent less time dicking around with Skyrim and put some graft into FO4

    Yeah it didn't hold my interest anywhere near as long as Oblivion let alone Morrowind.

    It's a real pity for me I came to Morrowind when I did when I hadn't really got into RPGs yet, and I suspect it would be a bit dated for me now but I suspect had I got into it at the time it would probably be my favourite Bethesda game by a long chalk. Oblivion is probably a "worse" game overall than Skyrim and fuck all those Oblivion gates but I think between the slight jank and the likes of the quests for whoever the madness god was it had more character and I feel a greater fondness for it.

    I remember downloading Daggerfall back in the 56k modem days out of one of those Napster-like programs (Limewire? Kazaa? who knows). It came in like 200 parts and took weeks to download. Once it was done, the game was shit and crashed all the time.

    Kazaa.

    I suspect if it was in 200 parts the reason the game didn't work is that twenty of those parts were for a different game, three were pictures of a grim-looking glamour model and one was a .wav of somebody fisting a goat.

    All labelled as Daggerfall files, of course.

    There's a serviceable Unity port of Daggerfall now which fixes most of the wonkiness. It's still a shitshow in many ways but it does at least work.

    Yeah, apart from not working and probably giving my computer aids, the game is just plain garbage.

    I think Bethesda have finally fixed this on console so that there's a way to play the special edition without all that immersion/difficulty level breaking creation club crap being present.
