#1 is not a fair comparison. The PC shot was obviously taken in a different place.

As a gay guy, I only hear crickets in my head when I see all those kinky mods for the females.

Oh, there are mods out there for you too my friend! Wanna see giant green Orc cock? There's a mod for that!

Just lock pick a horse's arse for some cash and engage in flying kumite

Today I trotted on foot following a nobleman on horseback, I was not allowed a horse. Thus my feet ended up bleeding and had to bandage them

Been playing since the original midnight release. Same disc has killed two 360s

I bought this when it released on an older, pre-built computer. Just rebought the Legendary Edition on a Custom PC. Game on. Much excite.

All of the gray boxes in the Ctrl-Alt-Del one were completely unnecessary. The joke could've stood on its own without being spelled out.

Meh, it's a pretty lame comic made by a raging asshole. Not like you'd expect any quality from it anyways.
TheEmperorOfMankind40000
For some reason because I've started playing again there have been an influx of posts and YouTube videos. And I mean new videos.
CilantroGirl
I remember playing for the first time and people made fun of me for being a sneaky archer. I never knew it was so broken.
jennyb82
#2 every fucking time. Always start as an archer or mage with light armor and low and behold I always end up duel wield w/ heavy armor.
ohnoofcourseyourright
I always end up with daedra armour with sword and spell
jennyb82
Daedra with duel swords then I go on a crafting binge and a make a bunch of others for my mannequins in my houses
excepttheoneswhoaredead
Best thing I did in Skyrim was to play as a pure mage, plus alchemist

*Cyrodiil not Oblivion *Orsinium not Orsimerium *continent not planet *Morrowind is not an island but the island of Vvardenfell is part of
fuckthisishard
Morrowind *Dumner is funny so we'll let that one slide *Redguards are originally from the continent of Yokuda
UsernameViewableToPremiumUsers
+1 but maybe these are on purpose (to make a point that stealth archery is the only thing he/she got from this game).

DukeDarkwood
.... Is there something Skyrim-specific I'm missing? They're called altmer! ALTMER, dangit!
kaloonzu
The number of Thalmor I've killed, the volume of their corpses I've defiled, would make Oblivion seem like a present reprieve.
thenipplebandit
Yeah the soul cirn should be filled with thalmor and bandits at this point.
Kingstad
I've restarted skyrim just now for the 547th time and the mods are drowning me in immersion
AweMoose
Too bad Todd and his crew cannot figure out how to do it themselves...
MyBrainIsPlastiDipped
What mods are you using? I was thinking about starting again for the 547th time myself.
Neonbaron
I swear elder scrolls 6 better have more fun combat than 5 had
AliBarber
Why do people think the draugr are difficult?..
Evokkimus
Why do people think Skyrim is difficult? It's not
AliBarber
Right? Even on legendary.
thenipplebandit
Depending on how you play the game and your experience. If you’re new to skyrim and decide you’re good enough at other games so let’s play1/
thenipplebandit
Legendary you will get fucked real fast. 2/2
GasBandit
Deathlords are kinda hurty if you get all your levels exclusively from crafting.
CFray
Legendary mode? Idk I never had a real problem with them but I’m a sneaky archer/ stealth dagger assassin kind of guy
haunter64
Legendary mode has put in the Dragonstone ruins a Death Draugr Overlord at lvl 13, so yeah fuck you draugrs, i sacrificed Faendal for that
Saucysauces
Honestly, no fight in skyrim is intense. The combat has always been incredibly boring to me.
RaynWisp
I got it on PC after playing it on the PS4, mods really help w/ exponential difficulty ramp and changes to shouts.
PeteTusk
It's all pointless if you restore from save if you die. Just a matter of time till you conquer everything. No real risk.
ellert0
That goes for just about every game out there... even ironman challenges unless you swear never to participate in an ironman challenge again
PeteTusk
The games which let/expect you to savescum, which yes is many, especially many RPGs/adventures.
ellert0
I mean, even in a game like Dark Souls the main meat of the challenge is in whichever one specific part you die to. Having played the...
ellert0
entire series and 1 in particular multiple times I don't feel like it would be much different if I could just save before bossfights.
DeathRowTomato
Try the new game Kingdom Come Deliverance, now there's a challange!
Saucysauces
I will if you give me a good enough computer and the money to buy the game ;l
alexjonesisagayfrog
Loved Skyrim but Both oblivion and morrowind were better
RaynWisp
I liked Morrowind because it stayed relatively true to tabletop games - I didn't care for Oblivion too much though.

That's not even the worst of it cause I really prefer the witcher games for their ability to tell a compelling and coherent story
SarsMarsBar
I'm a big Witcher fanboy, but Skyrim and The Witcher are both great in their own right.
Curlybeard
I mean there's nothing wrong with your preference, but they are two completely different types of games.
yy0b
I agree with that, the Witcher 3 blew all of the competition out of the water imo
RogueMonkeys
Did it piss anyone else of that Lydia always sassed you when you wanted to trade. Bitch! I’m giving you better shit half the time
ZebraCockSandwich
either one of the DLC or a patch they released fixed most of that. she's not nearly as sassy for me as she was when the game launched.
Vryistal
There's a mod for that. Now she only says, "I am happy to carry whatever you give me," when I trade with her.
whatspaulplayingtoday
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Selerox
I got Hearthfire and she doesn't seem to sass now.

I sacrifce her for the ebony shadow armor
Christx30
My Lydia has a full set of Blades armor with a fire sword. I'm going to give Lordis full set or Nord armor.
krisslanza
Because the OTHER half of the time, you're making her carry all the junk to vendor off later!
Christx30
I took her into Mzulft 3 times to get all of the Dwarven metal that I could. I made 2 sneak trips by myself in Calcemo's lab. Dwarven bows!
RogueMonkeys
That’s an important role
GasBandit
Not at all. My Lydia is really easy to put up with. /a/cEzfA
Martellus
I see your Lydia has a very high armor rating
GasBandit
Shit yeah, that's an ebony armor mod ;) she's a tank!
somewhatwiseguy
Why do people do this it's sad and cringey and breaks all immersion
FrozenCoast
They are having fun playing a game. Who cares how they go about it?
GasBandit
You play your way, I play mine.
somewhatwiseguy
I mean yeah buy I just don't understand the appeal of having half naked low res people in the middle of freezing temperatures
GasBandit
Low Res? I'll have you know I'm using high poly models and high res texture packs! You take that back!
TheLoneWandererOfTheWaste
I just played this through for the first time. I’m sad I waited so long. But I’m making up my time.
Falling323
Same, I just got a computer that can run it. My life has been absorbed.
freezingpilot
Oh man, that feeling of your first game! The beauty, the scenery, the atmosphere, the catastrophic game breaking bugs!
freezingpilot
FYI, get the Unofficial Skyrim patch from nexus mods (or steam workshop). Fixes the game pretty much completely. Especially quest bugs.
CFray
It’s awesome isn’t it do you have it on pc if so you will never stop playing
TheLoneWandererOfTheWaste
It is! I have it for Xbox One. ): I need a better computer to pc game.
WatsonRaymes
Don't despair there's still some good mods for xbox
LadyWidebottom
I bought it almost 5 years post release and clocked up about 400 hours within a matter of months.
balentay
I started playing it the day it released and I still haven't finished the main quest.
ElynaerDeiros
You know the ending is actually pretty fun, plus there's a whole word of power and dragon priest mask hidden in the last quest too.
LadyWidebottom
By the time I came back to the main quest I was so overpowered it was a snorefest
jsktrogdor
.... wait... you... you did what? You "played through" it?? Huh? I don't understand. One does not simply "play through" Skyrim.
TheLoneWandererOfTheWaste
Well, I mean the main storyline (and most of the DLC), but obviously not EVERYTHING...the side quests are never ending.
HisDudness
I've gone through four characters with a few hundred hours played and I've never even finished the main story. How did you do it?
jsktrogdor
... you... you did the main story??? B-but... that's not how this works. That's not how any of this works.
Lostchild12
The ancient Everquest players think they win buy getting to maximum level and want Player Leveling. EQ says average playtime is 8 months.
somewhatwiseguy
Honestly I have made hundreds of new games and every once in a while I'll discover something new
TheLoneWandererOfTheWaste
I did a bunch of other stuff too....? I didn’t just sprint through the main storyline.

You don’t get it only like 10 percent of people actually go through the story line in this game

ReLeVaNtUSERNAMESareReLeVaNT
Been playing ES since Morrowind have always gone Sword/Shield and heavy armor. Nothing more satisfying then decapitating those pesky archers
BluePaladin42
While I understand why the build is so popular (it is pretty OP in an unmodded game) I tend to enjoy doing whatever I want in any given game
Psile
Orc smith/2 hand/heavy armor. I like to pretend she's shouting 'I made dis!" when she smashes her enemy's faces in.
d0o0o0d
I play Mr. Axe-to-the-face.
AllSystemsNominal
Well, I'd play a regular archer, but enemies are complete arrow sponges and pretty much force me to kite them to death.
Alkuam2
I like to sit there and laugh while i use restoration to build up my armor skill.
masterofallhesurveys
Dual daggers. Sneak attack one shot dragons.
N7Talon
I play as an mage hunter total focus on restoration for wards and one handed axes. Screw you frost mages!
thenipplebandit
Hahahaha. That’s a nice bit of stamina you have there. Would be a shame if someone where to spam ice spears and wall of frost.
ActuallyMyNamesMarina
Always pure magic to start, but end with every maxxed and can do whatever the fuck I want.
schmobius
I forced myself to do something different this latest time. Mage. But I had to add more spells with mods for that to be at all fun.
defaulted
Ive played them all. Mage is the hardest at first. Sneaky archer is almost too easy after a time. I like to just melee the shit out of ppl.
PeteTusk
I don't either. It feels cheap to me. It also felt cheap when the AI teleported assassins to where I was in the wilderness in the dark. :-P
Bezaid
I'm a simple man. I want to hit every enemy I see with the biggest hammer I can find. A greatsword will do if no hammers can be found.
SchrodingerMil
Sword and offhand spell all day
Mimsey
Nope. Gimme dat magicka-immune Breton Juggernaut or a traveling Alchemist with max speech and deadly poisons but shit for combat skills.
Mimsey
Or a Nord Death Knight that raises the dead then leads them into combat personally.
Mimsey
Or a Dark Ranger that raises the dead and fires poisoned arrows but is too proud to stoop to sneaking.
Selerox
Last playthrough I was intending to be a sneaky archer. Ended up with a hammer. Charging dragons. On a horse.
Satherian
I do Destruction magic. Stagger ftw
SunBrolem
Sneaky knife stab all the way
RaynWisp
Stealth archer is the most consistently high-reward, low-risk build - and dragon fights, esp if you are underleveled, are difficult w/o bows
freezingpilot
I screamed "COME DOWN AND FIGHT ME YOU SCALY BITCH!" at my monitor at lvl low. And promptly died. That SAM shout is great once you get it.
AndanteXVII
I always end up defaulting to sword and shield - the ole' bash and slash.
steve77777777
imagine my surprise when I found out I wasn't the only stealth archer. I had no idea it was so used I just like stealth and archery.
AlwaysandEventuallyHannah
I like stealth. I'd like to do stealth melee, but that requires you to get close and ruins your stealth whereas bows don't
steve77777777
exactly
MrDrWatson
Also me, stealth, archery....and heavy armour!
FisterMantastic
Only the heaviest!
steve77777777
THAT DOESNT MAKE ANY SENSE FFHFPFPO
CynicalClinicalWalrus
I didn't know how to play. I'm just an orc that smashes everything.
freezingpilot
And yet somehow, you are probably 100/100 in archery and stealth.
CynicalClinicalWalrus
I'm like 2/100.
anubis4567
My two-handed orc playthrough was one of the funnest playthroughs I had.
Dashiznit
What do you mean? That's a very good way to play
WhatWillWeDoWithTheDrunkenWhaler
Altmer sorcerer all the way
noooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
Heretic
BluePaladin42
Better magic and Apocalypse spell mod are great for spellcasters, imo.
BluePaladin42
Also found a mod that lets you become a lich. Glee!
Dedeurmetdebaard
Breton > Altmer =D
WhatWillWeDoWithTheDrunkenWhaler
No way man, Altmer and Lord stone for a lil bit of defense
SgtKnux
Them's fighting words. But I'm a Breton main so I'm on your side.
filthytank
It’s because any other form of combat in skyrim is garbage, maybe spells ok, but weapons feel like you’re swinging cardboard 1/2
filthytank
There’s no satisfaction to throwing a heavy two handed hammer in ay elder scrolls game 2/2
TokumeiNoShi
I wonder why no one has modded in a decent hammer effect. All it needs to do is have a 40% chance to ragdoll targets.
BluePaladin42
There really isn't a mod for it? That's surprising.
TokumeiNoShi
Not that I could ever find among the 20 billion anime waifu mods. Odd since a high level perk gives a chance at ragdolling.
CrazierConspiraciesThanTrump
This game will never die. Only be lived on for Millenia.
pleaseconsiderthatImightbejoking
It's obsolete, Kindom Come is out.
GeekyWhiteBoy
I'm playing Skyrim on my fridge right now! /s
Cagalli
The fact that you have to specify the sarcasm really shows how far this game has been stretched
CFray
True
ZebraCockSandwich
I'mma play it until they fuckin give me Valenwood. and I will pray that skywind and skyblivion come out before then. >.>;
notHereToCirclejerk
It will die when they release a sequel more dumbed down for the masses, and the kids all think its the greatest thing ever cause of graphics
burtgummersurvivalist
I got this on 360 twice, pc twice because 1 came with the previous 4, and the ps3 right before I got a ps4. Hey Bethesda, can I have a ..con
burtgummersurvivalist
Copy for the ps4 for free? I got this 5 other times and don’t want to spend the 30-60 again... just for mods...
tuxedoass
I just started my first play through a few days ago!
ZebraCockSandwich
I'm so excited for you. Skyrim was the first game I ever really got into outside of the Simms. I am in love with all elderscrolls now.
IKeepHavingBadDays
Same! I started playing two days ago and I’ve spent a SIGNIFICANT amount of time watching different characters live their lives.
Clitastrophe
I hope it gets remade in a decade, with realistic city and army sizes, dragons that aren't overgrown chickens, and magic that doesn't suck.
Clitastrophe
Fixed plot holes, a delphine that isn't a total bitch that keeps me from playing the main quest, more indepth guilds, the list is endless.
MnemonicMonkeys
Just mod SSE once SKSE64 comes out of alpha
ZebraCockSandwich
I've been using alpha for months now and its working great. couple buggy bits I experienced were easy to fix.
Clitastrophe
Um, no. Mods cannot fix the core problems of Skyrim. (Scale and Depth). They can just make the kiddie pool look good and add more toys.
Clitastrophe
They can also -improve- the "cities", but not fix them. Skyrim is more a representative scale than a 1-1 scale, akin to a zelda overworld.
Clitastrophe
And yeah, I mod the hell out of bethesda games. At one point I did the math and had 11% of the whole nexus downloaded quite a few years ago.
Sergelid
Elder Scrolls 6 is coming, it might be 5 years or so, but it is coming
TobiOfTheAkatsuki

BillyMaysHereWithOxiClean
Elder Scrolls 6: Skyrim 2
MnemonicMonkeys
Bethesda Game Studios already said they haven't even started working on it. I hope they were lying and it'll be out soon, but I doubt it
AlmightyVerb
Pretty sure they said the same thing about Fallout 4, until it was almost out already. So, who knows.
Hybris51129
I just hope that they use a more mod friendly engine. Gamebryo is ok but its so old and restricting nowadays.
ydwyrd
They want to work on something other than Elder Scrolls and Fallout for once.
MnemonicMonkeys
Which is stupidly risky because those are two of the biggest IP's in gaming. Look at what happened to Gearbox when they put 1/2
MnemonicMonkeys
Borderlands 3 on hold to make Battleborn. 2/2
steve77777777
yeah but that could be said of a lot of games. final fantasy XVI is coming. call of duty 50 is coming. and so on

My nephews have the ps4 remaster. When I was visiting I started a new game to check it out, played 8 hrs straight. Nephews started new games
WittyNameThatWillGetMePoints
Username checks out
FriendlyNeighborhoodLoner
8 hours in one sitting? Rookie numbers.
SkyrimTraveler
I didn't want to stop but I had to do some other stuff, like poop.
FriendlyNeighborhoodLoner
Pull an all-nighter and I'll be impressed.
SkyrimTraveler
When I first played on ps3 I'd play about 18 hours a day for the first weeks. Got to level 80 and decide to finish the main story.
SkyrimTraveler
Found out after about tons of cool side quests I missed. Now I've started over a dozen new games and not completed any.
Orion1453
Was it much improved over the original? I play on PC, and have both. Not sure if SSE is worth bothering with.
experimentalmirv
My PC isn't great, so I just stuck with the original because the performance was so much better
Orion1453
My PC isn't great either, not honestly sure how much of a performance hit I'd take.
SkyrimTraveler
It was better than the ps3 version, my pc doesn't play it properly so the ps4 one was pretty enjoyable, only like 100 mods available tho.
justvenomcake
Shame for the lack of mods.
kilocron
I bought the PS4 remaster to play with mods but it bothered me too much that it turned off trophies.
Pominator91
And no external assets. Like WTF Sony?! Imma turn alduin into fuckin Thomas the tank engine over on the X1X and y'all can't fucking stop me
kilocron
Right? It's like why even bother!

That’s just enough time for your initial character concept to morph into a stealth archer build
MondayFortunato
Every time I say I won’t spend hours fucking with giants and everytime I let myself down
gtmiller
Still, the best playthrough I ever had was as Elsa from frozen, where I only used Ice based magic.
Ausmerica
No matter what, I always end up a sneaky bow elf. It's too fun and effective. I can't help myself.
Starwulf99
Nothing better than seeing an enemy reaaaaaalllly far away, and nailing him on the first try with a head-shot ^^.
Hatecuzaint
Yes, my efficacy demands I do it lol
Panhead012
It seems I’m the complete opposite to this i alway aim to start as a stealth archer then end up with a two handed hammer and heavy armour
DeadpoolDownUnder
Me too, though I end up, one handed weapon and blocking expert. I cannot for the life of me be a stealthy archer...
ChaosandChaos
That's the secret.
TheGirlInTheFireplace
WorkerLurker
I think I’m the only conjured user main I’ve met, never be unarmed for the forsworn prison quest. And you get ghost wolves.
connor645
I’ve started many games now with the intention of being a mage and I always end up dual wielding axes.
Kittynomnoms
Probably has something to do with vanilla magic being absolutely fucking terrible.
connor645
True that.
