Why We Still Play Skyrim 9 Years Later

[@SgtGimlinho]

I'm going to be honest here, not too happy about how this turned out. Been working on other projects at the same time, had to cut some showcases for it not to be too long, generally feel like it's lacking in pacing and quality and feel like I should do better, so I apologize. But I do hope some of you at least get some enjoyment out of it. Mistakes and failed attempts are made to improve upon, and there is no one better than yours truly when it comes to improving and making adjustments ;) Also, make sure to join THE best (also somewhat cursed) Skyrim Mods Discord: discord.gg/unsungsZsJ Warm sands.

brother.... I HAVE to say something here man.. I never comment on KZbin (very very rarely) and dunno if this comment ever reaches you but I hope it does and I want to say this. YOU are one of my VERY FAVOURITE Skyrim KZbinrs and probably a blessing since 2020 man. I mean it. The quality and effort that has been put into one of these videos (especially on your latest ones) are out of this world. You make 30 minutes videos pass like nothing with enjoyment and comfort. I eat my snack, drink my tea while watching you and it's the best thing ever man. I mod Skyrim since 2016 and became guru at this point, still to this day I enjoy every minute into my custom game, every hour reading, learning, fixing of existing and new mods, but you guys make everything so much better. Your channel is criminally underrated and you need to have at least 200k subs at this point I write this to you and I hope you will hit that number soon!! I want the best for you, and the hard work needs to be paid off. Hats off to you man, sorry for the long article and never stop what you doing here. Guys like me deeply appreciate all your fantastic work. Skyrim is a game on it's own at this point. I thank modders for all their hard work, and KZbinrs like you and then us that we all keep this game so much alive, to a unique and one of the very best experiences to enjoy these hard times.

[@SgtGimlinho]

Thank you so much man, that was beautiful to read, don't really know what else to say than that I really appreciate it. The fact that I'm in a spot where I'm able to make these long videos on something I'm so passionate about while people actually enjoy it means the world to me.

Hi Stg, your review looks good to me! WiZkiD Parallax Imperial Forts is a mod I really like. I also want to give a shout out to an underrated author and his work. It would be awesome to see someone like yourself review his mods, especially TPOSC. I am talking about Nesbit098 and his DLC overhauls. I have been using his work for a while and they are great mods, some of the best overhauls I have seen. His TPOSC mod is something special I think. Keep the videos coming I like everything you do. Humour especially, I think you are being to hard on yourself.

@@SgtGimlinho He has reworked both versions of his TPOS mods, but for me TPOSC is the best. It would be fun to see what you think of his work and his dragon spawns. I said to him I would ask around to see if someone would review his work. He laughed thinking I was wasting my time. He sees his mod in a niche kind of way and no-one is interested but the few. He might be right but I think he has made something unique. If you do anything in the future I would love to see it. Thank you for your response and the reason I asked you is because you are like him that you are both very critical of what you do.

Best Skyrim modding channel. Period.

[@supermendi0078]

I personally think that the First Person Combat Animations mod needs a patch or something to bring back all the inertia from the first person camera. Watching combat with such a static camera, with zero shaking or leaning when you strike someone with your weapon just feels pretty unnatural, I even prefer vanilla animations cause at least those have some inertia implemented on the first person camera when you swing your weapon.
