I want to love Skyrim so much. I own it I've tried a bunch of mods I've played it probably 5 or 10 hours. I just eventually wander off looking at something neat the distance get lost, end up getting stuck in the terrain somewhere, get bored and find something else to do.
this is probably mine, too. i really, really wanted to like it... don't know why it never clicked with me, but part of me suspects it's the general aesthetic. i just feel like that whole "medieval" open world look is so overdone. maybe i'm expecting too much.
I actually like Skyrim, but I’m always really confused by the people who are like REALLY into it. I played it through for the story and did all the side quests that I cared about and then I was done. The gameplay just isn’t very engaging and the environments are only interesting for an hour or so each. Feels like an emptier oblivion.
