It doesn't look like you've ever finished a single game, ever, you're not a gamer, you're a tinker, an experimenter, in 4 years none of your titles have even 100 hours in them, and most only have minutes, literal minutes of playtime. 86 in Witcher 3? how much did you even see/ 78 in RDR2? Ugh.

No, dude, you are not an adventure gamer, PACE. And that's fine. If you don't want to be one, don't be one.

But this game? This is not remotely for you, not in the least; you'll spend longer than you have in 80% of the games you played making ONE SUIT of armour and weapons to use, which are only good for about 10-15 levels, and you'll have to update or re-make them... this game is the definition of time-consuming... 60h minimum, and if you attempt to do every DLC and side quest, probably 200h, and if you start modding, you could easily go over 2000h without ever finishing...

I would say it is worth about as much as they are charging for it.

There are 10s of thousands of people playing it right now. Do you want to play it? Then yes, it is worth it. If you do not want to play it, it is not worth it.

The "vanilla" game is nice enough for one or two campaigns. Beyond that, the replayability value can be increased almost indefinitely through mods.

Whether or not it is "worth" it depends on what kind of games you enjoy. This one is somewhere inbetween a RPG and an action-game. Action-RPG? Whatever, it still has enough of an RPG aspect, and it can be beefed up with mods.

Yeah, it's worth $10. Don't waste your money on Anniversary Edition, all it has is a bunch of player-created extras that aren't worth a dime.

If you want recommendations I'd suggest you go to Amazon and buy Deus Ex:Human Revolution. Do not get the Director's Edition, it absolutely bites on PC. You can still get Steam keys for the original at Amazon for $10.[www.amazon.com]

You could also try Fallout 4, it's a pretty good game. Get the Game of the Year edition, currently on sale for $10.

These three will get you enjoying your life for only $30.

These three will get you enjoying your life for only $27.

what a clown ,..,,.,. recommending Fallout 4

in my opinion it is worth it. but if you want to be sure i'd suggest looking at different games in the action rpg fantasy genre through youtube or other platforms to see what you might like better and where you want to put your money. Beside Skyrim I'd personnally recommend the Witcher 3 that sometimes goes on sales for around 20 dollars.

Absolutely, if only to get access to Enderal, which has even a better story, albeit a more mature, darker one.

Well I still really enjoy it, a lot seem burned out though, my guess is they are tired of Skyrim from Bethesda's shenanigans and because they chug the coolade instead of sipping.

Ok, so you are just now trying games. Though Skyrim is an enjoyable game for many, it is a time investment.

As your time in games is low, have you found what kind of games you enjoy? Or are you still trying different genres seeing what you like? If the latter, then I would hold off on Skyrim until you figure out what it is you want to do. Otherwise too high risk Skyrim would just "collect dust" in your game library as you jump to the next shiny.

Nah, maybe wait till 2026. Maybe worth it then.

Yes.

Im in my 4th or 5th play, and its nothing like the other 3. The have honestly made the game better than when it was on release. Definitely worth hopping in to and exploring.

Do you want to be a mage, archer, or warrior? Some sort of combo? Lots to do in Skyrim...

Not if you get it through Steam since the devs constantly break ♥♥♥♥ so people buy more dlcs, or as tod calls em "not dlcs, creation club downloadable content". Get it from other sources so you can have a stable version as long as you want without forced update
