Topic: The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

Like what? I personally don't play in third person because I find first person more immersive, but I don't think there are many frustrating experiences from playing third person. It might be harder to pick up small items or to notice little hidden things occasionally, but that's about it.

Yeah, Skyrim isn't like 10 other generic action RPGs, its combat system is designed to work in first-person to the benefit of immersion. Aiming the camera in first person gives you the nuance to pick up individual items off of shelves that almost every other non-VR game outside totally lacks. And you'll want to be able to scour shelves, especially if you plan on playing a thief. All of the shelves and cupboards in dungeons, inns, and towns are populated with items, some valuable. There are a lot of settings and things if you're worried about the perspective making you sick.

Personally I already leveled my characters too far on PS4 so I don't think I'm going to buy the game a third time (leaving my Skyrim total at $165 + tax at time of writing). I've actually been playing on my now level 72 lightning vampire lady recently and I just found the special necromancy spells that fit her whole aesthetic. I use a bound bow, stealth, and illusion to mess with dudes. I had never played a vampire before the special edition and I'm having a lot of fun being amoral and indiscriminatly stealing, killing, and feeding on NPCs.

Don't buy that it's worthless. Skyrim is literally the most well-explained RPG on the internet ever.

@Haru17
Some people like them as collectibles. In fact I think that's pretty much everyone who buys physical guides nowadays. And since they come with an e-guide which is super handy on an iPad while you play, it makes it even more attractive.

I buy guides for every Nintendo game that gets one. Always have, always will

Man, this game is great. Hopefully Oblivion crops up on Switch at some point, played that recently and while it may seem archaic, was great fun. SkySwitch is a worthy purchase.

I'm just saying if you want to play the game while spending less money, which is usually the goal...

This review is funny. The most accessible, most polished port. He's talking about the Switch version being free of bugs(!) while ALL other versions were full of them.
All the buggy versions were praised as one of the best games of all time getting 10's everywhere.
The perfect Switch version got an 8/10.

@SKTTR

That is pretty funny alright! One of my favourite bugs was getting launched into the air by Giants! Or a dragon clipping into the ground, getting stuck and allowing a low level me to attack it. Heh, may buy this for the Switch when I get one, just for old times sake.

I don't think reading any sort of guide is a good idea at all. Maybe if you're completely stuck for some reason you could look it up, but otherwise, I think it's best to experience the whole game for yourself.

Aaaahhh... Now I understand. The crazy bugs made the game so good, so fun.
Without the fun bugs from the original and the new ones introduced in the special versions, the Switch version is of course much worse.

What's left in the game if there's no dragons glitching with the heads through the houses? Or people flying into the air for no reason?

@SKTTR Nah, some bugs could cause issues, I had the Legendary Edition with all the DLC for Xbox when that came back and by that point a lot of the worse ones where gone (I believe). Funny thing is, the Giants launching you into space was a physics related thing with the games engine, pretty sure the momentum or system was what caused it.

I remember reading of a mod that tweaked the physics so running into a counter and causing an apple to roll off and hit you could hit you with enough force to kill you.

@IrishGamer97 Most of us Nintendo players were spared from those issues.

Well, until Assassin's Creed III came for Wii U. That's when my first horse tied to a carriage went upside down through a river, crouching up a steep wall forcefully and then spinning towards the moon with the carriage somersaulting around it. I thought that was indeed fun. However, even AC3 was polished up to the point that circumstances like these were pretty rare, like, only once in my 100% playthrough.

@SKTTR Yeah bugs can be fun when it happens occasionally, however, not like Sonic 06's type of bugs! I've a pal who plays that game the whole time just to see all the bugs and glitches. It's pretty kooky but I can see the interest behind it.

HD remakes of games made back when studios finished games before shipping them get 8s because reviewers are detestable neophytes.

And yes, it's always best to go in blind. Although I think Bethesda games are literally impossible to spoil because, even if you learn a ton, you'd still have a bunch of secrets, quirks, quests, questlines, and lore to find.

I always go in blind. For any game.

But when I do get stuck it sure is handy having a nice e-guide to quickly and easily show you what to do. Can't stress how much the Mario Odyssey guide helped me finding moons that were driving me crazy.

But I do buy them for the collectibility, not so much to use going into a new game. The fact I get a guide that I can reference if I so desire or so need is just a bonus

@Tsurii Oh, that wasn't here?
I see... JaxonH posted that in "The Nintendo Switch Thread".

Anyway... https://gadgets.ndtv.com/games/reviews/skyrim-nintendo-switch...

I asked in the Switch thread as well but here it goes again. The Switch version is the special edition right?

Yes, it'll look as good as remastered games do on Switch.

@Haru17 Erm...I can't think of any re-mastered games on Switch...
