“One of the best RPGS I've played. The only problem is that the controls are kind of dated. But this is only, really a problem for the first hour or so. So with that aside there isn't really any problem with how fun the…”
“This is where Elder Scrolls peaked. Magic is broken (fun), combat is lacking (if you have 0 imagination), and it's a little dated (if you are gay). You can run it on a potato, it has some very rich rich world+lore, and…”
“Outside of some load up issues this game is quite unique. I love how much more interactive the combat feels. You must adjust according to the weapon type and must be more specific with swings and shots, giving a more…”

“A classic RPG with some of the most unique and interesting worldbuilding I've ever seen. The combat and movement definitely show their age, but neither are hard things to used to or to build a character where they…”

“One of the best games ever made. Absolute peak of gameplay and replayability (especially with mods like Tamriel Rebuilt). If you don't want to play this game just because of the graphics, you're making a big, big, big…”

“Great complex RPG that will run on any PC. If you have a potato PC and like fantasy RPG games this is the one to play! Lots of good mods too as expected from a Bethesda game.”

“As someone who started the elder scrolls series by playing Skyrim and then Oblivion before getting to this game, it's great so far. It took me some time to get used to the graphics and just general style of the game (no…”
“Amazing game in general! Best out of the series, especially with the tribunal and blood moon content. The freedom, crafting, and gameplay are substantial factors. Its kind of an older game so the graphics aren't…”

“This game is older than me and yes visually it's very dated now. I understand that there are more mods for this game for all kinds of things from graphics to bug fixes and quests. I've been playing the vanilla game as it was intended and I'm enjoying it so much. It doesn't hold…”

Played thousands of hours on the original xbox, a couple hundred more on the 360, and will play thousands more in the years and hopefully decades to come. When you've spent so much time in Vvardenfell, booting up the…”
