now if only you could make your Dragon Born Jake the Snake Roberts using a Python as a sword, we would have the greatest feud/mod ever going....Elizaaaabethhhhhhhh
I've seen comments about this video on other sites and there were a lot of people saying "This is why the PC version is better". Yeah, this is exactly why...Get the fuck outta here. I mean, this is cool and all, but until there is some sort of useful mod out there worth applying to the game I still say it's great on consoles too.
Already made this joke on Twitter, but what the hell...
FUS ROOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAH

@Renegade Panda,
I would do beautiful, unspeakable things to the person who makes this happen. Beautiful, unspeakable, sex things.

I laughed every time the 'YEAH!' came up, but the hilarious choice of 'Disco Inferno' as the background music just kept me chuckling the entire time. Fantastic mod!
There's a difference between comedic relief in a game and trying way too fucking hard to be funny. This is the latter.
Just sayin'.

Wow, this is the best Elder Scrolls related thing I've ever seen, second only to the Silly Adventures of Mr. Mochi, of course.
My issue with the Elder Scrolls games has always had more to do with the fact that first-person melee combat isn't actually very fun than anything else, realism or not.
Win Championships. Check.
Bang boss's daughter. Check.
Sacrifice himself & give rapture the elbow drop to save humanity. Check.
Destroy Skyrim & give the Dragonborn biggest elbow drop because his eyes are lusting on Miss Elizabeth. Working on it.
Ooooohhhhh yeaaaaaahhhhhh!

Thats pretty terrifying
but not as terrifying as paying 60 bucks for a game that cant be beaten because the FPS drops to 0 half way through and everyone tells you that yer a whiny cunt that cant handle a glitch or two because their version works.... or is it?

Surely Pomp & Circumstance would have been more appropriate? Silly Mr. Mochi reigns supreme.
Also, I don't think Jonathan understands the appeal of Skyrim at all, at least from what I'm getting out of it.

@ Street Flighter- The appeal of Skyrim isn't to explore the game's large, "realistic" world, interact with its "Tolkien-esque fantasy" inhabitants, while gaining new abilities and experiences along the way?
If not, then please, tell me what the game is all about!

Now make all the zombies [NAME REDACTED], all the snakes Jake Roberts and Randy Orton, all the scorpions Sting, add in THE YETAY and we have ourselves a god damn videogame!
You kids and your vidja game dragons. back in my day, Jackie Chan committed genocide on the entire race, live from Dubbya Bee.
Well you've added some stuff in that comment that wasn't in the original post, but a big part of the appeal is the freedom it gives you to take on any sort of fantasy role you want and interact with it's (fleshed out) world in whichever way you want.
I don't think the terms realistic and fantasy are going together well either, but exploration is also part of it's appeal. Mainly for the beautiful otherworldly surroundings, but also just to pick up on all the little bits of story and odd happenings they packed in there. I'm not in it for a slightly-weird-but-still-realistic world.
The game's probably too big to label one definitive thing, though. I wasn't having a go by the way, just a little nonplussed as to how you were seeing it. Opinions, I guess.

@ Street Flighter- Hmm, the way you describe it, it sounds like you are there for the "slightly-weird-but-realistic world. You say you play it for the "beautiful otherworldly surroundings and odd happenings", right? Those other worldly surrounding are big and detailed, so they feel like real places, yet they contain orcs and mammoths and stuff, which make those fantastic "odd happenings" feel like they are really happening, right?
That's what Skyrim does best. There are plenty of other games that allow you to explore a big world and and pick up on little bits of story, but Skyrim is the biggest and most detailed of those types of games that takes place in a Tolkien-inspired setting, which means it does the best job of making that fantasy world seem real.
Or am I missing something?

Spoilers, I guess.
I just can't seem to get past your description of realistic. The world itself can look fairly unrealistic and ethereal, especially at night with it's two massive moons and sky-spanning aurora. There's also steampunk dwarf ruins and caves with massive glowing mushrooms.
This definitely don't feel real to me; I just enjoy the world for the art and atmosphere and detail of the thing. I also have never gone on a massive bender with a demon-god before, so that's always nice.

By that logic I can't think of any game that is realistic.
obviously skyrim is not set on earth (many humanoid like races, dragons, etc etc) at any time. skyrim is extremely immersive thus giving it realism in is own created universe.

@ Street Flighter- Would you like Skyrim as much if it looked like Minecraft? Or Wind Waker? Or Katamari Damacy?
Maybe you would, but I think most Skyrim fans would not. The game makes the a fantastic world that has two moons, and big growing mushrooms, and demon Gods seem real, and that comes in large part from the game's overall attention to detail (in graphics, AI, overall size, etc).
You keep reiterating that what you enjoy about the game is the fantasy aspects, but would you enjoy those aspects if they were depicted in a less "believable" way?

Holmes, you seem a little hung up on trying to define the game in a way to prove to yourself that you would not enjoy it.
I don't think any of the elders scroll games seem real in any way. There is a difference between immersion and seeming real... for the most part skyrim plays and feels like a game with plenty of game logic that would never make sense in real life.

Probably not to the first point, but that may just be because I like the art style and environmental design. It fits tonally, too. But I enjoyed Wind Waker's world for a few similar reasons to Skyrim's (game mechanics aside); it was big, there was lots to see and do.
They were both detailed enough for me to really get lost in them, even if the art style, tone, and music etc. made me feel totally different.
I think any game would be more enjoyable with more attention to detail, better graphics and AI even with minimalistic, cartoony art to it.
I do seem to be confused as to your point about how believable the game is, though. What would change for it to be less believable? If all NPCs were giant talking shoes, or the game took place on a kneecap or something?
