Whether you started with a 2600 and a joystick in your hand, an N64 with a blistered palm or building your first PC in your teens, what is that one video game you’ve played at some point that to this day sits at the top of your list.

    Skyrim because it’s not just vanilla skyrim.

    Vanilla skyrim is good, but skyrim is also modded skyrim.

    Some of those mods are basically games in their own right. And not average games either. Enderal and The forgotten city have won awards and are genuinely great.

    You can easily spend a thousand hours playing Skyrim and that’s saying something for a game that doesn’t rely on grinding or have an online mode.

      Morrowind and Oblivion don’t get enough credit. Skyrim stood on the shoulders of giants.

        Morrowind and Oblivion don’t get enough credit.

        This couldn’t be more untrue. It’s all but impossible to mention Skyrim in any gaming of gaming-adjacent space without someone bringing up how Morrowind or Oblivion were better.

          Not better, just necessary the foundation of Skyrim.

          I also don’t need to defend bringing up a related game, that’s just how conversations work.

      Skyrim for me as well. I have literally played thousands of hours. Mostly modded, making different builds. I think I only finished the main quest two times.
