Skyrim. Finally completed. Again.


Sky in Sovngarde, I think it's Shor in a center.

You could notice I told few times before that I played Skyrim Special Edition, if anybody actually gave a damn, 4xmple, I didn't :-P.
So now it's competed! Yay! I actually did smth for month's theme!

Review

Well, there is nothing to add. It's the same Skyrim as it was 5 years ago. It has same setting, mechanics, textures, even same bugs. Oh gosh, every Bethesda game has too many of them, mostly they are little but annoying. Skyrim Special Edition has better shadows and lighting but also increased system requirements. For me main difference is that you can't gain cheevos while playing with mods. That's meh.
If you want replay Skyrim, Special Edition is kinda good choice. But if you don't have any edition and want to play some, you should probable buy original one, 'cause it's cheeper and Special Edition doesn't have smth new besides DX12.

So my opinion: original Skyrim was a great game, that's why Skyrim Special Edition is great too, but you shouldn't buy it, buy original instead. If you want of course.

Challenges

On this playthrough I made up some additional challenges for myself and tried to beat them. So here they are.

  • Raise every skills up to maximum 3 times. Done. That's easy if you know mechanics.
  • Do not use console. Fail. Thanks, bugs, I always can count on you. Bugs made some quests unbeatable so I had to use console.
  • Raise vampire and werewolf skills to maximum during 1 trasnformation. Done. Well, that was 2 long massacres...
  • Kill Alduin with Wooden Sword. Alduin is main boss. Wooden Sword is child toy, one of the weakest wepon. Done. Kekeke. I have strange sence of humor.
  • Play all game on Legendary difficulty. Done. At the beggining it was extremely hard, but after power-leveling it became easy.
  • Do not use elderscrolls.wikia.com for walkthrough. Fail. I'm too dumb and too curious for this.
  • Rest just minor and boring. Done/Fail. From time to times.

Most of the game is boring repetitive process, so that was good idea to make some diversity ¯\_(ツ)_/¯.


Alduin isn't so happy to see me. I wonder why...

Next?

Game is done, I'll return for some mods later, but I don't know what to play next. I still have a week for month's theme. Also I have too many games that were in my wishlist and still never played. But I just don't know. Also I still wonder how many points I'll recieve for Skyrim in month's theme if I started it last month.

As I said I've already beat Skyrim before, I even spent the same amount of time ;-P
