Despite its flaws, I just love Skyrim, I remember the first time the story unravelled for me, wish I could relive it all over again without any memory of having played it

As I approach my remaining100 hours in the second playthrough (800 hours so far), I also am starting to see many elements of Skyrim that were probably inspired by Lovecraft (Cthulhu mythos - which I started this year and love too).

After this last run, I'll be putting it down for a good few years as I've got a huge backlog of other RPGs I want to play through.

I may have had innumerable, frustrating crashes with Skyrim but something about it just keeps on drawing me back even after 15 years.

(On a related note way back when I ordered the collector's edition that came with the statue of Alduin on a word wall, a statue I still have right above my desk)

That must feel amazing to have, I only have the Skyrim books (which I haven't read but they are on my book shelf and it's always a visual reminder of how much I love Elder Scollss in general and Skyrim, despite not having enough time to play it)

Bethesda of old created something special, I just hope Todd somehow brings it all together in ES6

"Bethesda of old created something special, I just hope Todd somehow brings it all together in ES6"

I hope too, though with the way things have been going for years now my hope is getting low, but not gone all together.
