Mods became a big part of why players return to Skyrim to invest entire months of their time into it (or why some have never actually stopped playing). If you have played Skyrim, chances are high that you tried out a mod, two, or way more than that (console players got that ability with Skyrim‘s official Special Edition in 2016). So, with that in mind, how can Skyrim continue to offer enough replayability and novelty to remain actively popular today?ĭo these reasons make Skyrim worth playing in 2020? Likewise, after thoroughly enjoying Skyrim we now can look to Elder Scrolls VI with a lot of anticipation (as well as apprehension).
Occasionally, these sequels turn out to be pretty impressive, such as the additions to DOOM, Half-Life, and Mount & Blade series we saw this year. We often look to sequels when we want to see new stories, characters, challenges, and event developments within settings we have grown to love. Still, it’s not often that we replay old favorites for a novel experience. However, you can probably list off dozens of iconic titles that you have played and re-played in the past.
It is now one of the RPG sandbox classics. If success of a videogame is to be judged by how many years it remained popular and relevant, Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is an easy contender.
