Is that fur coming out of your ears?
Hello everyone!
I've been away from Skyrim after a really long time and a bugged game I had to reinstall. (Real life intervened)
I always loved this game, and have beaten the main quest twice as well as devoting nearly 700 hours finishing nearly everything else on one character.
I returned, thinking my time away would make the game feel somehow fresh & new. it mostly did as I had forgotten so many things over the last year or two! I quickly got immersed again and for a couple of weeks on a new character, the game felt remarkably fresh and new.
Now, however, the repetition of all those quests and storylines is starting to feel stale to me, I am remembering what comes next, so often feeling like it's a grind again.
Can anyone PLEASE help me find the lost joy again, a way to play the same game with the excitement I'm missing? I WANT to get lost in Tamriel again, to look up at the clock and wonder where all those hours went. To feel the awe and sense of accomplishment I used to feel back when the world was new(er) to me. To be wholly immersed, looking forward to logging on every night!
Changing the difficulty settings hasn't helped at all, and approaching it entirely as a role player only works until I'm sent halfway across the world by the same questgivers to retrieve the same junk all over again.
This is the first RPG I ever fell totally in love with, my ancient threads and posted pics from way back would prove that! Help me feel the love again guys, help me make it fresh and fun once more! Back in the day, the good people who used this Forum were a source of much inspiration and motivation to me.
Thanks to any who read all this, and even greater thanks to any who offer constructive ideas.
Cheers!
