    Skyrim was one of my favorite games for several years.

    I tried watching my husband play Starfield but I kept zoning out, using my phone, or getting up to do something else. I'd rather do laundry. Starfield is boring A.F to watch, and I have zero interest in playing it

        Fair point on Skyrim being more fun to play than to watch. I agree. And if you like Starfield as it is- then so be it! I'm not trying to shit on anyone's enjoyment of the game

        BUT…my husband likes to try to optimize everything. So we'll spend time looking at different aspects- some of the graphics just infuriated me. Some things looked so amazing, but others… meh or… wtf. The facial expressions are way behind the times, and everything he showed me seemed lacking in one way or another. Like that Aurora nightclub. The NPC's are talking about what an amazing experience they are having, meanwhile it's like 15 of them badly dancing or just standing around. They certainly didn't look like they were having fun and they moved around like a group of homeless methheads

        He ended up playing some more of the game once I went to bed, and then conceeded that it's lack-luster and moved on to something else

          Yeah, I got about 150 hours in, did all the side quests I could find, went through NG+ did almost all the things needed to ng+ again but now I'm just like… Meh why?

          I'm sure it'll be a great game for modders, there's already a good bit that help with some of the basics (UI, beth wtf) so I got pretty good moneys worth from the game and here's to hoping I can take many more trips in like FO4 and Skyrim with mods to vastly improve things :)

          On the Aurora thing, I mean… You ever been in a club with people on Molly? They look out of their minds so… Doesn't seem too far off lmao

          Bout to start a fresh run on New Vegas, been many many years so I'm excited :D
