I still remember it. I got as far as whiterun, barely spent 15 minutes there and got sent to riften. Queue hours of random adventure. Spending an age kiteing a giant, wandering into rivers trying to find a shortcut, I cut through a mountain pass thinking I found a secret passage past the mountain blocking me, but got killed by a chaurus. Stumbled on an orc stronghold, they wouldn't let me in. Can't replicate that organic gameplay again.

[@kate2233]

YE, I remember getting out of helgen and then we got to the bridge and I was so confused where tf am I supposed to go, so I wandered around eventually stumbling upon Riverwood and going to the shop and having my first mission.

[@bs9459]

Ah yes, when I continued my time-honored tradition of how I start every Elder Scrolls game, wherein after I'm given my freedom I just pick a direction and book it. I ended up being chased by a bear at one point, and tried to climb a mountain to get away from it. The bear chased me up the mountain and I made it to a weird structure, then a scary black floaty thing popped out of a box and scared the sh*t out of me and then wrecked me. Found out much later it was a dragon priest and I'd ended up running all the way to Haafingar.

Every time I hear the ambience in the first 10 mintues, it reminds of of all the late nights where I would be going to bed and he would still be up playing, looking for alchemy ingredients, or the early mornings where I would wake up at 5 am to him being being screamed at by a dragon.

I always abused fast travel when I was younger but now I’ve realised that taking time travelling the roads and experiencing all the sights, sounds, ambience and encounters on the journey is really what makes the game shine.

[@mirceazaharia2094]

The journey I made on foot or horseback, from Whiterun to Riften, the quests I did, fights I got into, dungeons I cleared, over the course of several hours, shall always and forever remain one of my fondest gaming memories. I felt like a legit Adventurer on a Quest. It was fantastic, even unmodded.

I used to use the Skyrim OST for studying because I had such positive feelings associated with my time playing the game, so why not use it here? It worked extremely well.

I am so sorry to hear you've gone through such torment. My words may not mean a lot to you, but I want you to know that you will heal, no matter how hard it is to work through. Maybe some days you will be weak--maybe even most days. But you will have your strong days. Always fight for those strong days. I too have gone through traumatic situations, though not DV, so I'm being transparent. Regardless, this mix has also helped me overcome grief and trauma with each listen. There is just something so uniquely beautiful and soulful about Skyrim and its music. If there's one thing to love about Skyrim, it's the fact that it brings us together, no matter our circumstances. I wish you all the love and luck in the world. Thank you for sharing.

*_What It's Like To Be In Skyrim Cities During The Day_* *Whiterun:* Fresh air. Cobbled roads worn by the feet of old friends. Dogs barking and children laughing. The murmur of the marketplace. Puffy white clouds skating across the sky, overhead the thick stone walls that keep us safe. Clanking and grating sounds from Eorlund up at Jorrvaskr's Skyforge. Flowers & shrubbery brushing against the warm wooden walls of homes & shops. Idle chattering of the guards. The Companions yelling and laughing as they train to fight for us. This is home. - *Solitude:* Deep breaths. The clanging of palace bells. The bargaining shouts of merchants. Footsteps, both hurried and relaxed, tap-tap-tapping across the streets. Wooden doors open and shut from houses and shops as the citizens get ready for the day. Children burst out of their homes, giggling uncontrollably. The sound of lutes from the Bards College. The sea splashing in the distance, quiet but audible. Salty scents wafting through the docks. Tall, gorgeous towers and elegant architecture stretching high into the pale blue sky above, reminding us that we are more than we appear. This is home. - *Windhelm:* Snow crunching under boots of the wealthy and bare feet of the poor. The somber hum of the tavern, drums booming inside. Angry shouts of Nords & Dunmer. Rickety wooden doors creaking from inside the Gray Quarter. Looming boats bobbing in the frigid sea outside. Soft laughter from the old married couples of wealthy families. Argonians growling to themselves among the thumps and clanks of the docks. Blue flags whipping in the icy wind, over our heads as we silently live our lives. This is home. - *Markarth:* Tall grass blowing in the wind. Unlucky beggars muttering about the gods. Boots thunking on the uneven stone steps. The exhausted clunking of pickaxes down at the mines. Water burbling underneath the creaky wooden bridges. Guards scoffing at the citizens. The near-silence of the tavern, interrupted by the occasional bar fight. Golden Dwemer-designed doors scraping against the stone walls. The air is clean, but tinged with smoke and fear. Steam and metal clicking noises echoing from inside the palace. Guard dogs snarl out by the stables. Children walk close to their parents, proof that we must fight back against the rules binding us. This is home. - *Riften:* The smell of wood burning hanging in the air. Autumn leaves crunching underfoot. Unnerving noises echoing from the sewers. The hesitant clinking of septims in the marketplace. The scent of salt and fish wafting in from the fishery. Rugs being hung outside and beaten, filling the air around them with dust. Sly voices intertwining with defensive ones arguing over prices. Mead bottles, empty and full, roll across the bumpy cobblestones. The blacksmith grunting as he wipes the sweat from his brow. Fabrics swishing over the streets as wealthy crime families stride along them, untouched by their conscience. Water in the sewers below churning, much like the suspicion within us that we try to fight. This is home. - *Falkreath:* Dirt roads scuffing against worn shoes. The feel of cold gravestones. Sunshine inappropriately warming the buildings. Bleak sighing from both guards and citizens. Dogs barking being hastily hushed. Tiny purple flowers are quiescent, nestled in the browning grass. Wind moaning through the streets, buffeting the wooden signs hanging on houses. Long, torn purple banners flapping dejectedly, mirroring our struggle to stay positive. This is home. - *Winterhold:* Wind shrieking above the small buildings below. Guards plodding up and down the snowy street, refusing to go near the College. Watchful eyes of magic users burning into the backs of citizens. Shop owners smiling despite their monetary struggles. The sea roaring beyond, forever scarring the people. Inviting music floats out from the tavern, providing solace in this desolate place. Light spirals up from the College, an attempt to feel pride in our city once again. This is home. - *Morthal:* Croaks of creatures in the marshes travelling in the wind. Cool air drifting in from the waters. Spots of snow spraying into the air as merchants and citizens walk by. Hushed rumours passing from person to person. Weak sunlight breaking the dark pine trees. Quiet warnings to children about behaving, or the vampires will come. Footsteps quickening as they pass the wizard's home. Guards sympathetically trying to reassure the uneasy citizens about the Jarl, even though we want to take charge of our troubles alone. This is home. - *Dawnstar:* Miners whistling as they lug materials around. Wooden carts rolling and bumping along, full of ore and tools. Tired gazes following each other. Children laughing in the face of hardship. The tavern crooning with music and warmth long into the night. Grey clouds diluting the sun as the day wears on. Boats and fishing lines wobbling in the water. Mutterings of rival miners making their way across town. Insecure faith in the gods wavering, as we try to cope with our nightmares. This is home.

I still remember visiting my family in New York for Christmas and seeing my older cousin playing this game on his PS3 setup in his unfinished basement in 2011. I was 11 at the time, and the game looked truly magical, he had just unlocked the wabbajack and was fighting some bandits with it. I was instantly hooked and got the game as soon as I came home, and I still play today. We don't talk anymore after a bit of a falling out between him and the rest of the family outside of my control, but I still think back to that day fondly. Little does he know the impact that he made on my life that night. I hope he's doing well, and I hope he's still playing Skyrim.

Sorry you both parted ways, family is complicated. I used to play it all the time with my older cousin. I always looked up to him. So whenever he came around or I went his we always played Skyrim.

And here's the full updated list of the locations, as well as memory serves. Corrections welcome if you notice any! 0:02 - Probably a few steps north of Evergreen Grove. 1:35 - Next to Ustengrav. Only place in the marsh with this view to Solitude. 2:42 - A mysterious location in the Rift, with a view over to the Throat. Best guess would be next to Heartwood Mill. 4:10 - Wow this is obscure. Based on vegetation, I'd say around Embershard Mine, close to Riverwood. 5:05 - Windhelm docks. I hear they don't treat the Argonians right. 7:00 - Peak's Shade Tower, 100%. On the road east from Falkreath. 8:30 - I'd say this is the orc stronghold in the southwest of the Reach, Dushhikh Yal, or something. 10:12 - A pretty bridge in the Rift, next to Broken Helm Hollow. Rumor has it there's some awfully good lumber trades going around there. 11:30 - Sitting atop the Warmaiden's, Adrianne's shop in Whiterun. 13:50 - A good view over the main thoroughfare of Riverwood. Embry, in the distance, is on the lookout for a fresh drink. 14:40 - Riften marketplace. Did you know you can drop Madesi's ring and not have to put Brand-shei out of business? 16:15 - Winterhold and its eponymous college. I hope you've mastered the expert destruction spells. 18:10 - A peaceful stroll in Falkreath. I can hear Siddgeir munching on succulent meat in the longhouse on the left. 20:00 - Vokun hovering about in High Gate Ruins, ready to fireball your face. And all Anska wanted was a simple scroll. 22:00 - Blackreach, quite close to the entrance from Alftand. 22:50 - The bridge to Windhelm. Do you have any idea how dull horses are? 24:25 - And then we head into Windhelm. Hjerim, a potential home (needs a bit of cleanup), on the left. 25:30 - The stairs up to Hillgrund's Tomb, on the road from Whiterun to Ivarstead. Spotted some good game along the way. 27:00 - And this should be High Gate Ruins from the outside. Took me ages to remember. 29:00 - The plains outside Whiterun. 32:30 - Okay you got me. Best guess, near Riverwood, some way east. Hell if I know. 35:10 - Somewhere on the hills near Cragslane Cavern. I think that's the Bonestrewn Crest over in the distance. 36:20 - The Ritual Stone. The necromancer up there s just asking for it. 39:00 - Is this the entrance to Ragnvald? 40:45 - Could be the waterfalls just south of Robber's Gorge. 42:40 - Angarvunde. There's an unfortunate prize waiting for a greedy heart. 44:40 - The view over to Dragonbridge from the south. 46:15 - I'll hazard this is inside Gloombound Mine. Great place for mining ebony, if the orcs don't get you first. 47:19 - Fort Amol Prison. Typically overrun with conjurers and the like - which, in turn, are overrun by you. 48:35 - The main road of Riverwood. With all decent folk off to bed, only the chicken patrols. 50:38 - Solitude, with a view over to the Blue Palace and the Bards College up ahead. 51:44 - Solitude again, high on the ramparts of Castle Dour. A different, bird's eye view of the Blue Palace in the distance. 53:16 - Can't figure out the landmarks; my best guess would be somewhere between Riverwood and Falkreath. 55:02 - On the north glaciers near Hob's Fall Cave. A lone spire of Alftand puncturing through the ice over there. 56:12 - Shroud Hearth Barrow. The bridge to the left of the wall is broken; a shout can carry you across for treasure. 57:53 - I believe this is also Shroud Hearth Barrow, near the entrance where the ghostly Wyndelius recommends you leave this place. Hey, it's just a fabrication. 59:15 - A nightly view over Dragonsreach in Whiterun. 1:01:08 - Reach Imperial Camp, just south of Bthardamz, a vast dwemer ruin. 1:03:28 - The great Shrine of Azura. Your coming was foretold. 1:04:30 - Mara's Eye Pond. The mudcrabs on the islet are fierce guardians to a macabre secret beneath. 1:06:50 - A Dragon Mound, likely north of the pass towards Falkreath, near Half-moon Mill. 1:08:03 - A relaxing bath in the geysers around the Atronach Stone. 1:10:15 - Sleeping Giant Inn, Riverwood. Delphine sweeping away, and nope, Orgnar ain't got potatos in his ears. 1:11:42 - The Bannered Mare, Whiterun. Mikael keeping the folk entertained, as befits a bard of his talent. 1:14:04 - Jorrvaskr, Whiterun. Aela and Farkas engaged in a staring contest across the table. 1:15:30 - Mistveil Keep, Riften. The Jarl's throne sits empty (probably best so), while Wylandriah rummages about, probably having misplaced something. 1:16:06 - Standing upon the walls of Jorrvaskr, overlooking the Wind District. 1:17:38 - Solitude Harbor, lollygagging outside the Red Wave, an infamous pirate vessel. 1:18:55 - A glorious view over Markarth and Understone Keep. 1:19:52 - The White River, just west of Riverwood. The salmon are jumping upstream, no doubt on their way to the Guardian Stones. 1:21:38 - A part of the external ruins outside Snow Veil Sanctum, on the forbidding wastes far north above Windhelm. 1:23:20 - This is in Alftand, the Animonculory section. All kinds of glittering treasure on the sides - if your fingers are nimble enough. 1:24:26 - I would believe this is Mzinchaleft, due to the warmer hues of the place. Southwest of Dawnstar, and filled with all manner of vagrants. 1:25:45 - On the beach outside Hela's Folly, northeast of Dawnstar. There's an argonian, Deekus, minding his business and the pickings of the wreck. 1:30:25 - The moons, Masser and Secunda. Seen from where, beats the crap out of me. Would presume high up north since the air is very clear. 1:32:37 - Brittleshin Pass! Damn this one took me forever. A great shortcut from the plains of Whiterun back to Lake Ilinata. 1:34:42 - Blackreach. The place is immense. There's also a chance for a Dragonborn to awaken a slumbering beast. 1:36:40 - Mixwater Mill. Tucked on the side of a sightly road south of Windhelm. 1:40:35 - Just outside of the Helgen Cave, on the road north towards the Guardian Stones. Bleak Falls Barrow looming in the distance. 1:43:00 - On the banks of the river looking up towards Lost Valley Redoubt. Some nasty rituals going on up there. 1:44:43 - Dragonsreach, in the great hall. Jarl Balgruuf in his ubiquitous, lordly pose upon the throne. 1:46:14 - Candlehearth Hall, upstairs. Arivanya sitting up front with a mug of ale, no doubt brooding over the unimaginable boredom of horses. 1:48:22 - The Winking Skeever, the prime tavern in Solitude. Despite the name, Corpulus keeps a clean inn. 1:49:35 - The Silver-Blood Inn. The enterprise is likely the only thing keeping the owners Kleppr and Frabbi together. 1:50:52 - A sight not meant for mortal eyes; this is Sovngarde, the Hall of Shor, guarded by Tsun the Mighty. 1:52:27 - Another shot from the Hall of Shor, where the heroes both old and new revel in the timeless stories of their adventures in life. 1:54:06 - The Hall of the Dead in Whiterun. Andurs, the local priest, has misplaced his amulet in the tomb. There's also a book, Death blow of Abernanit, in the leftmost room. 1:55:18 - I confess, this has me oddly stumped. My best guess is Dustman's Cairn, but if you know better, let me know. 1:56:50 - Anga's Mill, upriver west of Windhelm. What we're witnessing here is the camp of Ennodius Papius, an emaciated beggar. 1:59:20 - The courtyard of Castle Dour in Solitude. 2:01:32 - On the seven thousands steps -pilgrimage up to High Hrothgar. If you've made it this far, you know there's well more than "the occasional wolf or stray" on this path. 2:04:06 - A bleak place called the Abandoned Prison, down the road east from Whiterun and past the Valtheim Towers. 2:05:01 - In the Avanchnzel Animoncultory. This was once a functioning factory for Dwemer Centurions, now a trove of exquisite loot. Just be careful what you take. 2:06:32 - Reachwind Eyrie, southwest of Markarth. A largely useless but picturesque tower. 2:08:44 - A hunter's camp opposite Sunderstone Gorge north of Falkreath. One of my favorite places for a rest. 2:11:07 - Nightgate Inn, one of the rare warm beds on the way from Dawnstar to Windhelm. There's an orc downstairs of peculiar civility. 2:15:17 - Yngol Barrow, northeast of Windhelm. If you're looking to fight in style, there's a helmet like no other stashed here. 2:16:26 - Broken Oar Grotto. The gentlefolk over in this caved-in hideaway are up to no good. And they'll drag you down with them. 2:17:40 - Uncertain of this one, but guessing Fort Sungard, the gigantic fortress up on a hill between Markarth and Whiterun. 2:19:02 - The puzzle door of Korvanjund, where the Ebony Claw will prove invaluable. 2:20:23 - Merryfair Farm, just outside of Riften. As if they don't have it hard enough, some slippery eel took Dravin's bow. 2:21:58 - The Atronach Stone, south of Bonestrewn Crest. Wonderful environment for a relaxing bath - if you don't mind the swooping dragon. 2:24:21 - Serpent's Bluff Redoubt, on the east borders of the Reach. The forsworn might not look like much, but they have an eye for a view. 2:26:00 - I believe this is Eldersblood Peak, on the peak of the mountain directly south of Morthal. The visit is worth the vista alone. 2:28:05 - North of Morthal, some way east from the wreck of the Icerunner.

You can never forget something amazing as you first play through Skyrim. Hearing the music, the funny jokes, discovering new places, interacting with characters and investing in their stories, collecting every shiny item you came around, going into a tavern to see your favorite ally and follower, and finally modding the hell out of it to make it as real as possible or as jiggly as possible if anyone catches my drift. You can never forget the feeling, NEVER

[@thelwulf2925]

Everytime I see and listen to this I sit in deep thought about how I'll never be able to feel as whole as I did on a late dark night of exploration through this absolute masterpiece. Skyrim was more than just a video game, it really felt like it ment something to me and others. Unfortunately now with age that feeling is gone, although time is fleeting, memories last forever 😢

[@SariennMusic73]

Hey. I'm 49. When Skyrim came out, my son and I played in the same room on our gaming laptops and we've put so many memories into this and countless other games together. He's almost 28 now and lives quite a few states away from me (usa) but we still chat about the games we're playing and, when possible, get into servers to play together for a couple hours. I just finished Death Stranding and, tho it's taken over as #1 for me, I think it's more fair to say both Skyrim and Death Stranding hold my #1 slot. I can't see any future games knocking either 2 out of my #1 slot. Maybe a real close #2 but that's as close as they'll get.

Your never to old for skyrim, and it's a wonderful world , playing skyrim got me through some pretty tough times, you can literally play it for hours without really achieving anything. That's the beauty of tamriel, you can escape into this magical world and just forget about the real world. I think as you get older it's the lack of time that gets in the way. It was proven to relieve stress and help with mental problems. Skyrim is just a masterpiece of sheer genius . All who play have there reasons for loving this game. I used to love playing it on really rainy days under a blanket all snug, cuppa tea and just me , my character on my own adventures. Comment below and share what makes it special for you 😃

As shallow and clunky Skyrim is with some of it's elements when comparing to it's prequels or other games, one thing they absolutely nailed is the world and the atmosphere of sandbox exploration. In Divinity OS2 OST there is a track "Your tale awaits you down the road" and that is exactly how Skyrim feels. Even for a 1000th time, even if you know that the cave will look the same as all the others and have no relevant loot, the world captivates you enough that you want to stay in it. While combat and many of the quest are not that fun, what is fun though is just being in Skyrim. To take a trip through the hot spring marshes and into forests. To see the 3 merry drunks on a road. To reach the Word Wall on a mountain peak amidst a blizzard, use Clear Skies and look at the aurora.

@@cubalibreball3809 Skyrim, like any video game, has rules. In skyrim there are demons, but so there are gods. In Skyrim, and other TES games, people don't die forever, they are transcended to an afterlife. Every problem in TES has a way to be solved, even if it is one that requires a lot of challenge. In the real world, however, there aren't any rules. You could live a healthy life as much as you want, and you'd die eventually from unlucky circumstances with no afterlife and no gods whatsoever. You could be the smartest you could be, and you would still not be as successful as some other people are, just because you weren't handed the right place and right time to accomplish the same. Real life is a set of randomness, while Skyrim and other videogames are a set of RULES. I would rather live in a world with rules, than in a world of randomness.
