The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is an open world action role-playing video game developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. It is the fifth main installment in The Elder Scrolls series. The game's main story revolves around the player's character, the Dragonborn, on their quest to defeat Alduin the World-Eater, a dragon who is prophesied to destroy the world. The game is set 200 years after the events of Oblivion and takes place in Skyrim, the northernmost province of Tamriel. Over the course of the game, the player completes quests and develops the character by improving skills. The game continues the open-world tradition of its predecessors by allowing the player to travel anywhere in the game world at any time, and to ignore or postpone the main storyline indefinitely.

300?!!!! DAMN 🤩

[@luxu_loveskh]

Fun fact Skyrim is so great depending on the race you choose every npc reacts differently Like hadvar tells you that you alteast die in your homeland but to me who chose to be a dark elf he said something like this: Do not worry we will send your dead body back to your homeland (wich I think is super sweet)

I loooove the contemplation over reading the book. 😂 It looks like me EVERYTIME I restart a play-through. “I’m going to read every book I find!” *Picks up first book* “Hm. That’s pretty long. Maybe later.”

[@Soup-fiend]

Excited for this series and this is my first Skyrim experience! Gonna binge watch the episodes out now 💕😊

[@lilindigestion]

[@legioxequestris4202]

I think Skyrim is my favorite because of the amount of mods and how incredibly different you can make the game. If there are no mods, then morrowind, oblivion and skyrim in that order. Not that it matters now though but anyone playing skyrim for the first time I would advise a few mods regardless of whether it's first time playing or not. Obviously you want the vanilla experience but the 3 mods I would consider absolutely essential would be the unofficial skyrim patch, SkyUI and the achievements enable mod. That's 3 I can think of right off the top of my head.

[@lilindigestion]

Thanks Legio! You aren't the first to suggest them, I appreciate the recommendation!

[@tredausmaxima]

It's funny how The Elder scrolls series love to start you as a nobody who is either arrested or jailed. e.g. Oblivion

[@andyventures6574]

The confusion of the escape in first time you play this is so bloody good. And, every single time... I do what you did. Start following ulfric, then get lost and end up with hadvar.

[@lilindigestion]

hahahaha i love that so many other people do the same thing. thanks for the comment andy :)

[@DidDroDoThat]

I’m coming back 2 years later jeez I love this playthrough it’s how I first discovered you… gonna binge this all the way through but man I know you love to take your time with game but I can’t hold my excitement for when you finally get to Elden ring. Hoping it’s soon 🤞🏼🤞🏼🤞🏼

[@meridithdemello514]

Can we just appreciate the fact that this guy didn't immediately get lost and kill the riverwood chicken like 99% of us did our first time around😂

This is so exciting to watch! I’ve been playing this game since release, since I was like 11, it’s my entire childhood. I’ve lost count the amount of times I’ve replayed it, I have the entire intro cutscene dialogue memorised word by word, I have all the songs memorised, I have so many quest dialogue memorised. I’ve been going back to this game every day just to mod it again and again. Seeing you play it for the first time is like going back myself and doing it all over again.

[@JaggedRecordsVa]

Just got an Xbox series X and when looking at games to download… I saw that puppy again in my recommended, and just finished up playing for 5 hours straight. A timeless masterpiece man

[@jiufeng8454]

Yo it's nice to see that new players are still joining in the skyrim community. Not many people do playthroughs of this game anymore so I'd love to support you and see what this potential series may become. I've been looking for ES: Skyrim playthroughs for a while and It's nice to have landed here. Best wishes from Wisconsin.

Little did I know how much more interesting this game and in fact this game series was. I truly hope you have learned to enjoy this game as much as we all have Ryan.

I haven't played Skyrim in a few years now so I'm watching KZbinr blind playthroughs and it's making me wanna play again so bad! It's so cool to see people experience this game for the first time. It's one heck of a game. There's also Morrowind and Oblivion in the Elder Scroll games you could check out. Definitely harder to play, but still very fun!

I remember the first time I played Skyrim, me and my two brothers played it on day one on the Xbox 360 and we played it all night, we beat the main quest along with many other guild quests during the first week of it's release, it was one of the funnest games I played at that time, I know Bethesda milks this game to shit but Skyrim along with the other elder scrolls games has a very special place in my heart.

[@lilindigestion]

Was very fun to watch your BotW Lets Play, cant WAIT to see Tears of the Kingdom whenever you feel ready for it. Now it means spending time with this great playthrough of another great game ^^

[@zzzcocopepe]

I've watched three Skyrim let's play this week. And every person missed the fact that they could choose to go with the Imperials or the Stormcloaks when they're escaping helgen. Which is kind of weird to me. Maybe it's because they're recording so it's distracting them? Because when I played, that part was really clear to me. It gives you a choice between hadvar or ralof

Can’t wait for this magical feeling when Elder Scrolls 6 comes out. I’ll have grandkids by then honestly.
