I still have no idea why this game was so popular. It's so bland and it's rather boring.

The entire overarching narrative of The Elder Scrolls franchise revolves around the conflict between humans and elves, which is rooted on their differing opinions on Lorkhan, the Spirit/God that caused the creation of the mortal plane, with (most) elves believing he was a chaotic trickster who maliciously wanted to trap everybody in a hopelessly limited reality and (most) humans believing he was a benevolent deity who had some sort of cool beneficial plan in mind when coming up with the mortal world.

That being said, that shit's arguably a lot more evident in Morrowind than Skyrim, where the story largely just revolves around dragons and the evil elves' motivation isn't really explained all that well.

I could never beat the game. I've played it maybe 10 times over the years, but I get bored and quit 50-70% of the way through every time.
>>
>>746271870
This. Especially when you use alternate start mods that give you a backstory or spawn you elsewhere..
>>
>>746271881
The tallest structures in Skyrim were built by dwarves.

>>746271866
It's a meme. For me, by far the worst parts of morrowind were the dwemer ruins. I hated them and still hate them and never properly enjoyed morrowind because of that.

>>746271890
You don't have to interact with them until the end.

fuck talos

>>746271863
Mods. That's it. Skyrim is special from no effort on Bethesda's part
>>
mods mostly, you can make the game really your own

Nothing, it's the most overrated game of all times

>>746271863
Nothing, Morrowind was better

>>746271864
>>746271879
That is not what gnosticism is, nor is the way you described it a metaphor
>>
Nothing about the actual base game, it's the mods that stuck with me.

>>746271863
Idk it’s my least played Elder Scrolls game and I was disappointed by it since release.

It’s an extremely comfy game. I love just wandering around Skyrim with the comfy (and somewhat repetitive) music playing. Despite its aged graphics and inclination towards photo realism, it manages to maintain a beautiful aesthetic. Much better than shit like KCD and BG3 anyway. It’s kinda like Death Stranding in that way - somewhat photorealistic yet still stylized. It’s also probably one of the biggest power fantasy games. The world is your playground. There’s nothing about the game that will surprise you or catch you off guard. Its generic and unoriginal design somehow makes it comfy in a way.
Also lewd mods.
>>746271864
Also this

I always want to side with the Stormcloaks but I can’t stand the idea of betraying my boy Balgruuf. I just can’t do it. As he says so himself, I stand with Whiterun first and foremost
