For the past couple years this game has been sitting untouched in my Steam library.
Hooked me right there because I was surprised it was sitting untouched for so long! 😮
I love it. I have played a couple of the predecessors -- Morrowind and Oblivion -- haven't touched Arena or Daggerfall. And I'm looking forward to when the next one is released!
My one gripe with it is simple: Not enough voice actors!!
And if you think it's beautiful now, wait til you see it with some texture enhancing mods!! There's an amazing one called SMIM - Static Mesh enhancer, really makes things pop! Plus a couple of 2k-4k texture overhauls. Lush Flora Overhauls. Damn. It's truly a beautiful game.
Assuming you ever get done with this huge world, there's a free fan-made "stand-alone-game mod" called Enderal: Forgotten Stories. It was created using Skyrim as a base and is an absolute masterpiece! If you own Skyrim, you're eligible to own Enderal and it's on Steam. 😃
