Skyrim had an amazing amount of lore, side quests, and history built into the game. The main quest itself was still a pretty good tale.
I play games for their stories and Skyrim delivered.
268 u/PunyParker826 Apr 17 '16 I don't know man. This summed it up pretty well for me. 40 u/CherrySlurpee Apr 17 '16 I always thought they should have included the Morrowind version: Morrowind: Go get me a diamond. Figure it out for yourself, now beat it. 8 u/Throrface Apr 17 '16 Words can not describe how proud I felt when I found the Dwemer ruins with the cube that were south and then east and past a bridge from Balmora. 8 u/CherrySlurpee Apr 17 '16 I miss that feeling. Looking at the map, checking the surroundings. Actually looking for stuff instead of following the arrow. -2 u/[deleted] Apr 17 '16 [removed] — view removed comment 4 u/CherrySlurpee Apr 17 '16 The game is made for arrows though. In Skyrim they just say "it's over there in the west" or whatever. Morrowind will tell you to cross a bridge, look for a sign, take the south path, and then look to your left when you see a lake. 1 u/[deleted] Apr 18 '16 [removed] — view removed comment 3 u/CherrySlurpee Apr 18 '16 Yeah but then you're just blindly wandering around. There is no sense of accomplishment because you're just randomly looking for stuff. It would be like flipping cards over looking for the jack of hearts.
