I have played Eve Online so many hours, and it's a bad game. Don't do it. you will spend hundreds of hours dreaming about the cool thing you'll do later, but for 99% of players the cool thing will never happen. You will be part of the one percent's cool thing.

Do you have a similar game?

Skyrim. The writing is horrible, I can't remember the name and personalities of more than 5 NPCs, the town's are microscopic, it can't handle more than 5 NPCs on screen, all the dungeons are theme park rides with gift shop exits, combat is a horrific sloppy mess, it's ugly, it has 4 voice actors, it's a buggy mess despite being released 37 times, the only way to interact with the world is violence, and all of the quests are flaccid boring murderfests.

I've played hundreds of hours.

Actually the first thing I thought of. Played the fuck out of that game, but kinda always hated it while playing it. Can’t explain why. Was a weird time.

I don't disagree with anything but man, I love Skyrim anyways. I guess because quests do get repetitive I love the stupid ones, like the ones given by the Mara priestess.

People that complain about Skyrim town size complain that Lego Police stations are missing a back wall.

There are not a lot of games where you can play a thief and up being a vampire, after recovering from a alcohol night with a deadra.

When it released I wanted to play it one without any mods. I lasted less than a week.

I love ultimate Skyrim/wildlander though, it gives it a lot of improvements and I just rp in my head.

I played tons of Morrowind and Oblivion.. could not get into Skyrim at all and I tried multiple times.

I'm kind of afraid for Starfield. It looks interesting but given their track record I'm afraid they might botch it up.

This is 1000% my Skyrim experience. Also, Oblivion and Fallout 3. and yet, I can't get enough.

I mean, I clearly can, since I haven't played them in a couple years, but you know what I mean.

Play some modded Morrowind and live the good life

I must have played skyrim on 5 different platforms, started by playing 250 hours on pirated copy and then buying it and playing for 750 hours at least.

And you will play hundreds more.

Thank God Bethesda knows how mods keep them up or I wouldn't bother with anything they put out.

Starfield mods bout to be crazy, I can feel it.
