Epic game , every one knows this you would have to live on Mars not to know this . But like many other reviews on steam the company practice is also a part of the game experiance. And people are quite happy to down vote games because of there buisness practice and this is no different . Bethesda and Valve made a shameless attempt to make a cash grab on mods . They failed only because people stood up to them other wise we would be paying for mods now in most games. What makes it worse is both companys own a large part of there rise and success down to free mods. Suggesting a donation box for the actual developers of the mods who put time into making it and not a requirement to get the mod just a donation option People telling me to change the review are the same people who where trying to tell us all why paid mods is a good thing. White Knights of Valve and Skyrim please insert your tears and buthurt in the comments section below i only charge $1 per commentShow moreShow less
This is the game the never, ever ends. I picked this game up thinking I wouldn't like it having never played a previous TES game before. Sat in my Library untouched for about a month or two, and finally took the plunge. I was wrong. I was so very, very wrong. This is probably the best purchase I've ever made on steam. Add in the unlimited potential of modding, and it's an adventure that continues forever. I've probably restarted over a hundred times by now with a new character, and still only have beaten Alduin once. ONCE. There's still so much more do to and explore that I'm still discovering quests and areas and little hidden things. I still can't believe how much there is to do and I'm still finding more. At it stands I'll probably wake up one day having lost all touch with reality and actually start seeing the world as Skyrim with how much I've played. And I'm totally ok with that.Show moreShow less
So Valve and Bethesda have taken away paid mods. Cool and all the power to them but I belive Valve should still make it easier to donate to mod creators, especially on a game that's so heavily dependant on mods from the community. The base game is so open and full of promise, but it's also empty and borning. It's as if they made the game expecting mods to make it better. Original Review: Was a great game and still is but I'm just gunna give it a thumbs down for the forced payment of mods now. I figure if we the community can shove this games rating down far enough then maybe valve will reconsider the forced payment option and maybe let devs have a donate option instead.Show moreShow less
Playing Skyrim is like masturbating. Feels good doing it but later you regret it. And then you keep on doing it. 10/10Show moreShow less
Update 12 june 2017: Bethesda once again shows that they want to put a dollar sign on every f*cking thing in this industry. Hopefully they will turn a profit from modders fixing their half broken work. This review was originally posted when Steam implemented paid mods and will stay up again.
