Skyrim the adventure game - Final thoughts

[@shineLouisShine]

What a great detailed honest overview. Thank you.. The combat mechanic does seems enjoyable but your video gave me the impression that the game fell flat after all. Nevertheless, for not burning out of a game, you should really - not only space between sessions, but play different games, with different mechanic, in order to keep a freshing approach and feeling. I do hope to hear your opinion about the expansion with the red dragon some day, when you'll space yourself enough from the burn out current feeling. No session should feel like a punishment. Be attentive to your inner feelings and authentic with yourself and always be aware maintaining that delicate balance of passion and enthusiasm.

Thanks Louis. I think as an afterthought that this game IS very flat in terms of gameplay and feelings. There is no climax to a chapter, so no end of level guardian to defeat. It's just grinding though the story to get to the end. Not that it isn't fun to do and there is satisfaction in developing your heroes. It's a question of how long you can put up with doing the same thing over and over again, over many hours. The game is a bare bone structure of the video game, it just needs some meat. Is that meat in the expansions?

@@BarryDoubletBoardGames thank you for the honest and detailed respond. I haven't play the expansion but instead of you, before abandonening this game for ever, I would surely try the expansion with the red dragon (From The Ashes). I don't know if it will save the game for you, but it sure enough sounds like there is a cool objective so you won't wondering around aimlessly 😌 Regarding other expansion which adds characters and scenarios - it has a high score but I'm not sure if it's more of the same or offer new fresh experience.

I'm very excited to get my copy to the table, i have the all in pledge but will play base first. Hopefully the repetitiveness doesn't prevent me from convincing my wife to play the whole story with me. Thanks for the honest review.

My pleasure. I hope you both enjoy it

I really enjoy this game, but I haven't played as much as you. I think the rulebook isn't great but can be improved. I did get the Ashes expansion because yeah, it needs more variety. Debating the Dawnguard expansion as it has more heroes. The components suck and I'm thinking of getting coins. But I'm enjoying it so far.

Good to hear. I keep wondering if it would be better with more cards. I was starting to have deja vu with some quests after multiple restarts.I will be keeping this game although I probably wont play it. See if anything new comes out from Modiphius. Small expansions to add some life.
