I think Skyrim is the game that I spent most time on since I spent a fair share of my teen years trading cowhides in the desert place on Runescape. Well that might actually not be quite true but it's a neat introduction sentence.

Turns out I kind of
finished Skyrim a few days ago. Well the fact is I still didn't
really finish this game because it's so... massive – I just
finished most of the quests that were of my interest and of course
the main quest. There were times when I just mounted one of my
countless horses and rode towards the horizon – and there always
was something new and exciting to find. Like this one time when I
rode past a cave entrance and there was this wounded guy that asked
me for help. So I spared one of my countless healing potions and then
we went into the cave together to revenge his fallen comrades and we
just straightforward killed every living thing that was left in
there.

I've played more than 150
hours now – did all the DLC-quests (well at least as much as I was
allowed to -.-” you may read something on here about that sometime)
– and I still didn't do many of the interesting quests that there
are. I still didn't do the College of Winterhold questline (mostly
because I hate mages) or the Companion questline and there are a lot
of Daedra quests still waiting.
As a matter of fact I
decided that I would skip most minor quests like clearing out random
dungeons because I just have no space for more loot. I got a
full set of Daedric Armor and Weapons, my follower (currently Serana,
the vampire lady from the Dawnguard DLC...) is fully suited up for a
major battle and what the hell man I just built a whole house with
all kinds of furniture in it and I give my children 1000 gold as allowance. I've got so many horses that I started to lose track of
the total number. And you know what? I don't even need them anymore
because I can ride on dragons now. “But you would have to find a
dragon first” you might say. Well no problem because they are
f***ing everywhere.
This is one of the for me
few flaws in Skyrim. You just get overpowered really fast. In some
dungeons I just stand there in masses of draugr death overlords and
don't even have to block... just press the attack button casually –
everything will be fine. And even if the enemy is kind of strong, I
as an alchemist have my countless healing potions to win the fight
for me. Now with my greenhouse I even have constant supply of
ingredients for my potions. And because I don't have to loot anymore
(which is kind of difficult because I usually just can't leave
anything of value in a dungeon -.-”) I can just pack myself full of
potions. Oh and you never get limited on dragon souls either. You
encounter a dragon almost every five minutes and after a while of
playing they get insanely easy to kill.

Well my point is – it
really gets way too easy way too fast. But actually I did not even
care that much because it's just really fun to explore the world and
going on adventures. I had so many fun moments and there were so many
times when I stood there and just looked around and the scenery was
great and awwww... There is so much to find even in places that are
not really important. You should really go watch THIS video. And
there are so many more interesting places and things to find. You can
spend hours just riding along and picking flowers and catching
butterflies. Well I can... because usually I find the most
interesting adventures on my way.
But Bethesda – I really
really used to curse you a lot. Some parts of the game are really
buggy – and the worst part for me was of course that I could not
finish the Dragonborn DLC. I will write something on that soon. That
really pissed me off. Usually bugs don't really get to me like this
but this one f***ed the whole DLC up for me. Thanks for that. Go
patch this sh*t and go patch it so I can still finish it without
having to start the whole f***ing quest again because I actually
don't have a save before starting it. Big mistake, I know, but it was
not intentional and I'm seriously pissed of at myself, too. But I
will write something about that later.

Conclusion: I kind of played a fair share of time and I did not see most of the things I know from
watching videos on youtube. I kind of missed out on the headless
horseman and the bugs in jars and so many other things. I still want
to see and do so many things in Skyrim – and I will spend much more
hours going on adventures. Bugs and rage aside I really loved and do
still love the sh*t out of this game and I will keep playing it in
the future. But right now Assassins Creed is desperately waiting for
me. And so is the new computer that I will be buying... and
Minecraft... and umm... yeah still so many games to play :) But I'll
play Skyrim again!!! And again and again and again. At least until The Elder Scrolls Online is released. Then I might have to drop out of university.
