Massively losing interest in the game

[Blonde Travolta]

Tell me why should I continue ?

Feels boring at level 44, repetitive, refurbished, unchallenging, never ending.

It is not up to any of us to convince you to play on. That is either up to you or the developers. Everyone has a point when they lose interest in a particular piece of media. You may have just reached yours.

Am trying to find motivation to continue. But the prospect of doing it feels unrewarding. As if the game exhausted itself too early.

New dungeons feel kinda motivating, but it is just refurbished corridors.

Kinda feels like the game lacks a feeling of a climax. It just feels outstretched oblivious mundane adveture

It keeps bothering me the question "Why am I here why am I doing this quest ?"

You can feel free to blame both the players who wanted the option to play indefinitely past the conclusion to the campaign rather than reverting back to a point shortly before the ending when prompted as was the case in Fallout New Vegas as well as the developers for listening to that unreasonable demand which weakens the game overall.

Just sounds like you don't enjoy the game and probably shouldn't continue. Try something else lmao. Or use mods and you can cater the game to your preferences more specifically. Just don't force yourself to play a game you don't enjoy anymore, it happens, nobody enjoys something forever. I've been playing Skyrim since 2011 (started on the xbox 360) and I had enough early 2019, giving it another go recently because I wanted to play something different. Heavily modded though lol.

I have considered giving it a break realizing that sometimes you just need a break it happens. But the longer I take a break the more difficult it gets resuming

Don't force yourself to do something you don't enjoy.

I come from Pen and Paper stock, so I get a lot more mileage out of my game by making stupid and limiting rules for playthroughs.

But I find the number 1 killer of Bethesda games is Powergaming. If you make it your mission to break the game's design to give you an advantage, or rush through something, you've effectively ruined your playthrough. It might not happen right away, but slowly creeping doubt will set in, and you will be burdened by that feeling of "What's the point?"

Because yes, everything does feel pointless when you already enchanting/restoration looped your dragonbone bow to do 24,000 damage before sneak attacks.

I basically ruined Morrowind for me, for 10 years by powergaming the ♥♥♥♥ out of it. Came back to it a while ago, and played it, pretending I didn't know where every sword of white woe was, or how to make Foritify Strength potions with a value of 10 million. Much better game.

I have considered this point. Aint the first time I reach 40-50 level and drop it at that point.

So I took a different approach. Made followers killable, I stayed away from alchemy and smithing, 44 levels of pure gameplay mostly.

But I am a guild member of everything. And feels not right. A warrior build and guild doing mage guild and doing it with melee tactics. The immersion is wrong.

I played another open sandbox game, Gothic 3. But I always knew where I belonged. In Skyrim I don't know why am I doing guild quests for mages ? I am not fond of the tes formulation

[Blonde Travolta]

In Risen there was no way you could go all the way. And Risen 1 was impressive made me playing it tight.

Temperance is a virtue. That's why I said powergaming kills TES games, because they let you. Freedom is dangerous.

Some people can't live free, they need constraints and boundaries dictated to them or they succumb to degeneracy and excess. Other people make their own based on what they want out of the world, or in this case, the game.

I find it very hard to make it back into the game. Number one suspect is difficulty to blame. But aint that. I played legendary I know that game more or less. Skyrim is just so mundane
