Imperfect Game: The Elder Scrolls Skyrim Legendary Edition Aka Oldrim.

Hello and welcome to Imperfect Game, less of a review blog and more of an adventure to delve into and today am covering The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Skyrim is an open-world RPG made by Bethesda where you become a chosen one and fight dragons. Hours of content in the form of quests that tailor to different playstyles and builds and a vast amount of mod content to hopefully add even more content to a game as content-rich as this. I personally struggle to get a character past level 10 before feeling the overwhelming need to go through the torture that is the beginning of a new Skyrim playthrough. While my most recent hours poured into Skyrim have been modded both visually and gameplay-wise I did once own the unmodded vanilla game on consoles (note: am not talking about Special Edition as I’ve only got oldrim aka legendary edition to play on PC) and am sure I’d poured at least 300 hours into an unmodded Skyrim to make this review besides most players of Skyrim have access to modded content so really any negative I give this game can be undone by a mod or two. Why am I making a review on an outdated version of Skyrim that got delisted off steam to force people to buy Skyrim Special Edition? Because I just got tired of playing and wanted to update the blog again. While the game offers a lot of choices for how to play like being a spellcasting wizard or a big stick wielding Barbarian who goes all-in on combat or even the classic sneak archer that can feel a bit overpowered at times. There are some joinable factions that complement these playstyles, like the warrior group known as the Companions and the Magically gifted College of Winterhold as well as two types of sneaky guilds known as the Thieves Guild for the stealing types and Dark Brotherhood for those that enjoy killing as a medieval hitman. There are a few other factions but compared to the ones I just mentioned they lack questlines involving them. There are two new factions with quests in the Dawnguard DLC. Though in my 300+ hours in the game I’ve never fully completed I left off on the part where it basically merges with the main questline’s Elder Scroll hunt so I guess that's one thing to say about it I don’t even bother with the Dragonborn DLC questline as I felt the fight with another Dragonborn a late-game quest anyways and the Hearthfire DLC was just a gold and time sink where you build a massive house. There are dozens of enterable dungeons for good old dungeon crawling action. Inclosing Skyrim of any version offers hours of gameplay and an immersive world to explore. This has been Imperfect Game and thanks for reading.
