Just for context, I'm the last girl you would think that would play a game like Skyrim. Never done RPGS or anything like that. I was gifted a Switch during Christmas and only played Animal Crossing and Fashion Dreamer. I was suggested Skyrim from my boyfriend who plays and thought why not. I didn't think I would like it, but it's really the best $70 I ever spent(on the anniversary edition).
It's my favorite favorite game ever. I love how immersive and beautiful it is. Play with good quality headphones, and the music and atmosphere will totally suck you in! There's so many different things you can do. I talk with my boyfriend all the time about quests we do, and he's never even heard of some of the places I've been/quests I've done and vise versa. There is so much content even without mods that I'm sure it'll be next Christmas by the time I've even done half of them. I love helping the NPCS and learning all the cool skills.
Best game ever.
