Can i continue playing skyrim

I've played certain MMOs for plus years, but generally speaking regular offline games have a lifespan for me. Mods definitely help spice things up. Removing the intro quests and starting a new character in a truly open world is fun. Dropping in new items and questlines is fun. But there's just something fundamentally replayable about Skyrim.

Bugs aside. Fatigue with Bethesda porting it to everything except your smart toaster aside Coming Fall to Smart Toasters and Texas Instruments calculators! For the sake of discussion here: I want to know either A Why is Skyrim so replayable in your personal experience? So many mods, and when you get bored of spending more time figuring out mod combinations that work and don't bug out you find there are tools like Wabbajack that automate the entire install process using different mod presets that people have made:.

I'm currently doing a Fallout 4 playthrough using the Magnum Opus mod preset, installation went from a literaly week doing stuff manually to less than an hour while everything downloaded in wabbajack.

It's so replayable because of all the different options you have to play. I made the mandatory stealth archer Khajiit that just destroyed everything, I had fun though with an Orc 2-hander heavy hitter, a Nord dual wielder and elf mages. Its just a fun world to get lost in and find new secrets each time around. Some of the side quests can get tedious, yes but it's just a great world to explore in. Personally I love going to Riften and make it one of my first stops, it's so cool.

Each area feels unique enough and just a joy to be in. Skyrim obviously, but outside of that, a game I have revisited multiple times is probably Fallout somewaht similar reasons as above or the Witcher 3. Complete worlds with lively NPC's and a familiarity that I enjoy. Geeze, this is why I'm kind of wasting money with a Fallout 1st subscription, and why I let my ESO subscription lapse. A The genius of the Bethesda games is the ability to harness the creative abilities of an entire community!

My youngest son made a mod for FO4, for Pete's sake, and he put a good joke in it. That preference maps so well to how Bethesda does things it's a little scary. I think for me, it just boils down to the fact that it's a really fun world to screw around in. I've only ever played it once all the way through. Did all the main missions, levelled up sensibly, saved the world.

And that was the best part of a decade ago. Since then, I've started time and time again, just to test stuff out. Try a new race, a new class, new weapons. I love loading up a random save I don't even remember, and just running off to see what I find. Why is it so fun to screw around in? Because it gives off the sense that it doesn't want you to. Games like Saints Row go too far. They give you big animal heads to wear, and metre-long dildos to beat people to death with.

It's not fun to misbehave there any more, because that's what the game wants. Skyrim feels the opposite, like it's always saying "No, not like that! You shouldn't even be able to climb up there! Yes, that might be a very important side character with an essential mission for me The standalone game of Skyrim isn't the biggest open-world map comparitively but it's probably one of the densest.

There's SO much content in there. My brother let me borrow it twice, and the game bored me that I constantly felt like falling asleep, but now that I'm pretty much only focused on it, I'm finding it to be pretty good. It's not quite as good as some of my favorite fantasy RPG's like The Witcher, Dragon Age, the Souls games, or maybe even Fable, but it's really good still and I'm hoping that in the end, I can find the same excitement and love to put it alongside those favorites.

I am trying to do all the side quests before I move onto the story and I know that'll take a lot of time simply because I feel like it might be another Fallout 3 thing where you can't continue, and I would hate that. If I can go through the story, I may just do that, then perhaps do all the side stuff after.

I'm not sure how long I've been playing so far, and I kind of wish on the stats screen there was a timer, but I'm about level 20 I think. Okay, thank you. I should have asked sooner. What happens when you finish the main quest in Skyrim? Is it possible to finish all quests in Skyrim? Can you beat Skyrim without doing side quests?

What to do with The Elder Scrolls after defeating alduin? Can you still play Skyrim after defeating Alduin? Phoenix Point. Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order. Shenmue 3—those are just some of the games I'm yet to finish in the last few months.

Some I haven't even started. In this relatively fallow period for PC releases, my pile of shame is somehow still growing. I should be catching up on the games that launched in the frankly silly September-to-November bottleneck.

Instead most weekday evenings go in precisely the same way, as if my life is being directed by the dullest screenplay imaginable: with dinner done and the washing up to one side, I have about an hour of games time if I want to get to bed at a reasonable hour. I have every intention of starting something new or making a beeline for the credits on a game I once put to one side.

Then, there I go: I'm playing Skyrim again. The frosty northern climes of Tamriel are my second home.
