I enjoyed it as well. People shit on Bethesda for no reason, the whole premise of Cyrodiil losing a war to the elves is a really interesting premise, and the Dominion was the best TES antagonist we've gotten so far. Because most of the games have shown the Imperial Empire to be more or less the strongest force in the land, the fact that they got destroyed by the high elves makes hating them more "personal", in a way.

I'd say Oblivion and Morrowind have it beat, but Skyrim is still the best game overall.
I can understand where your guys thoughts are coming from for Skyrim's Story. However we can all agree that Morrowind had a better story then Skyrim.
but Skyrim is still the best game overall.

Chivalry and Vermintide are pretty much the only games that did it properly, and those both came out after Skyrim.

Watered down from the previous gamesDon't get me wrong, Skyrim is very bland. The modding community is pretty much the only thing that saved it, but the one thing I won't fault Skyrim for is it's combat. It was definitely bland, but back in 2011 no game had actually prefected FPS melee. However, when TESVI comes rolling in, Bethesda will have no excuse for having a shitty melee system, because it's already been prefected by other games.
Skyrim's writing is pretty good
Am I the only one who liked Skyrim's story
