Ive never played it before but I absolutely loved Oblivion, and I love most open world games where I can get sucked in

its on the Xbox one, comes with all the DLC and you can also use mods now on Xbox.

I feel like you could probably find it cheaper but if you've never played it that's a great price so I say go for it.

Oh but don't go into it expecting Oblivion. They got rid of spell crafting. The world is a lot more "same" looking in Skyrim. The side quests were better in Oblivion... Skyrim has its perks, and (imho) is a great game, but definitely different from Oblivion

Yeah you could probably get it cheaper, but $15 still seems worth it to me.

I hear people say it's good. And $15 isn't a bad price. If you wait for it to drop, or wait for Christmas, it'll probably go back up. I'd say to go for it now. Or if you like taking risk, you could try waiting...

Get it.

A few people prefer Morrowind and Oblivion for being better as RPGs, but there is a reason Skyrim is the most popular entry yet.

It's at the very least worth one playthrough, and $15 for possibly 80+ hours of playtime is great.

Unless something changed special edition isn't worth it as a relatively small number of mods had been brought over. I just suggest the regular version for more content.

How would the regular version have more content? And theres a ton of mods available for Xbox users, people are constantly porting stuff from nexus mods

I would grab it for that price. With mods the game easily provides hundreds of hours of fun gameplay

Wouldnt this have more content as it has mods that the regular version wouldnt have? And couldnt that get the special edition, and then add more mods to it?

I ruined Skyrim for myself during my first blind playthrough.

Figured out you could smith daggers for basically nothing, then enchant them for basically nothing, and raise those skills to god-like levels. Using the stuff you could then make with it, (almost) the whole game becomes way too easy and it got boring.

Which is too bad- I bought my 360 specifically for Skyrim and played it a good 3-4 months almost everyday.

I would suggest maybe NOT doing that if you want the game to be challenging.

Snow White and the Seven Dwarves are not fans of Skyrim.

I regret buying it for that price. It's a horrible game that people only like because you can mod it into something completely different. It's Garry's Mod pretending to be an RPG.

funny that people liked the game when it released and many people enjoyed it on console before any mods were made available for it

A lot of mods have been ported over to Special Edition and 80% of the ones that haven't (usually due to lack of permissions from the original author or just nobody doing it) can be easily converted yourself. There's even a good amount of mods that are exclusive to SE. The SE engine is also more stable meaning you are less likely to experience crashing.

Why would you pay for a 9 year old game? Have you never played Skyrim before? I think that GMG or something gave it away for free years ago.

Sure. But AFAIK, they still aren't giving it away for free, are they?

My main problem with Skyrim overall was all the items what were pointless like buckets, brooms, plates, etc. Aside from putting them around your house they didn't really DO anything.

That's true. I kept expecting to find a use for the shovel, but...

I think too that the character customization is a bit disappointing. You don't really have that much choice, and a lot of the offerings just seem bizarre unless you want to imagine that your character's been hideously disfigured in a car crash. Details that might look good in close-up tend to be completely lost the instant the camera pulls back a little, while others are practically invisible anyway. It's not a dealbreaker, but it's difficult to get a satisfying look for some of the races.
