Skyrim was released 11/11/2011, I remember being online with friends playing FFXI when I heard it's announcement. I got really excited.
The fact that it's been 10 years and they haven't made a new one is an absolute crime. And by the looks of it, it seems ES6 won't be here for another 5 years given the rumours about Starfield not arriving until late 2022 at the earliest.
Needless to say my Steam folder shows I have over 1000 hours playtime logged in Skyrim (similar with Oblivion before it.) I'd spend days simply setting up the mods for a new playthrough in order to get it just right. The base game was great, had everything I wanted in a videogame of it's type, but mods allow you to customise how you want to play specifically and would add so much more depth, atmosphere, beauty, fun to each playthrough. I especially liked the mods that would add more random events, immersion and realism/survival aspects to combat and the game world. You could just get lost in the fantasy of it.
I'm utterly burned out on Skyrim now. I just want a new Elder Scrolls and wish Bethesda would sort themselves out.
