we play Skyrim because, absurdly, it is closer to the natural world that we should be living in than the soulless society that we actually live in.

It helps that the elder scrolls universe is probably the most in depth, expansive and creative universe in gaming

The world they built, the lore. The first time I came down that mountain from helgen the experience was breathtaking, something no other game has achieved.

modding community for me mainly. Yeah it's open and can have different gameplay, builds, come across quests, dungeons etc you didn't play or find previously. But mods have made it feel like a different game, larger game, more modern game, graphically better game etc. if it wasn't for mods, I don't think I'd load it back up now and again 15 years later, or others would either.

I played Skyrim for the first time in almost 10 years. Since I last played it. And it feels the same. Mods don’t really enhance the game. They give it more playability. But other than that it’s the same vanilla game. And most mods don’t work on PS5 because you need other mods with it, or you have to play it on PS4 only. Which sucks
