How do you choose to play the game? Do you enjoy questing, or prefer seeing the world and messing around? Do you consider yourself a roleplayer, or are you more “serious” about the game? How vanilla do you like your game? Fresh as a new download, a little bit of QoL, or total overhaul? Cheese or no cheese?
First: I install from disc and play that way
Second: I buy from steam and replay
Then: I buy from all console stores and replay on each respective console
THEN: I buy a new phone, jailbreak it and run Skyrim there
IM NOT DONE: I buy a new touchscreen fridge and re-buy, install there
FINALLY: I pay Bethesda to send out their Larping division to recreate Skyrim in my local park!
I like to go a step further, and implant The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Anniversary Eternal Edition directly into my brain so I can be forever within the world of Skyrim.
Legit that sounds badass
No matter how I start off, it always devolves into a stealth archer, I just can’t help it. There’s no better way to clear a dungeon than sneaking around and headshotting mfers from the shadows.
I can relate. No matter what I try to become, I always find myself crouching in the shadows with a bow.

After playing it on PC for years modding the ever loving Dickens out of it. I have recently bought a switch and started playing it outside in hikes and in hammocks and whatnot. It’s very relaxing and just fits super good on the switch. The dates graphics don’t bother me so much on the switch and the anniversary edition adds enough new stuff it’s been keeping me pretty entertained.
I play the game like a game, not really paying much attention to the story anymore since I know it like the back of my hand by now. Occasionally I indulge in some RP for shits and giggles, but I’m mostly just completing quests and killing dudes while collecting every unique item to display in my house to… Myself because it’s a single player game.
Almost all my mods are purely QOL, however I do also use the big furry mod to change every race into some form of anthro. Or rather, Id like to. It crashes whenever a dragon priest is loaded so I can’t really enjoy it. If it was something to do with the ESL, I could fix it myself but I know jack shit about model related modding to fix whatever issue might be the cause. Even just figuring out which thing is altering that one enemy or their clothes to delete it is not something I’m able to do. 😮💨
I’ve been playing since 2011, at this point I’ve played so much of the regular game that I just can’t play it without mods, and ever since I installed the afforme tioned furry mod I can’t even play without the mod. Which is a problem. Because I fuck with the mods too much and try to make too many things work with things they really don’t want to work with, I actually spend more time modding than I do playing… and yet… I persist. For over a decade. All according to Todd Howard’s plan…
I buy it 4 times cos I’m Todd Howard’s bitch. Though, I haven’t preordered Starfield yet, so no so far gone.
I enjoy doing questlines and rarely fast travel. I pay for a stagecoach ride, walk by foot or use a horse.
I’m not saying this about you specifically, but I love when people hate on fast travel but like fast travel mechanics like carriage rides, mage guild teleportation, or Morrowind tall creatures with carved out body things that I can’t remember the name of that take you places instantly.

Silt Stiders, lol
That what I like about the TES games, open world.
1handed, light armor and restoration spells only
i put all the points in health
i try to play rp until bugs kills my immersion
I like to roll play, though normally I stick to one of my three main races, argonian, khajiit, and bosmer. I like to think that I have a reason for what I do. Right now I’m playing with the excellent Legacy of the Dragonborn patch, as a relic Hunter for the museum
Never beat it on pc, making real ground on the switch. I have an issue where if I sit it down for a month I have to restart, currently level 10 and trying to finish it.
