Even today, many players inadvertently skip over some of Skyrim's content and never discover great things in the game , so there's a lot yet to see and do. This makes Tamriel feel more engaging since human players can interact with each other, roleplay, or simply enjoy a fun night of dungeon crawling. Skyrim recently received multiplayer support in the form of Skyrim Together, a mod platform that syncs up multiple players and allows them to go on adventures with one another.
However, it's not quite the same as playing ESO, which makes multiplayer a priority, with regular updates to its content. As grand as The Elder Scrolls Online might be, internet access is a hard requirement. A fast connection is vital for maintaining consistent quality, especially on a server with many players. This also means that it's impossible to take the adventure along whilst traveling in real life.
Skyrim doesn't have this problem, since it's a single-player standalone title. If an ISP goes down one afternoon, players can still enjoy the adventure unabated. Likewise, it has been ported to a number of platforms, including the Nintendo Switch and Valve's upcoming Steam Deck platform, which is just one of the many reasons gamers can enjoy and replay Skyrim still today. Skyrim is getting quite long in the tooth at this point, and that's a dilemma for fans who have played through the game several times, and racked up thousands of hours.
Thankfully, mod content has extended the game with new lands, dungeons, and total conversions to explore, but even those are limited in scope. Elder Scrolls Online has a clear advantage here. Every year, Elder Scrolls Online players are bound to get more content in the form of expansions, events, and other updates, offering value for money. Like to use a bow? Prefer to conjure allies?
Are potions and poisons your weapons of choice? Concept of a Madness Battleaxe — Find enough elusive Madness Ore and you can craft one of the strongest weapons in the game for yourself. With Rare Curios, players can obtain special items from all over Tamriel via Khajiit caravans, including ingredients to craft all-new potions and poisons. Want even more amazing creations to explore? Upgrade to the Skyrim Anniversary Edition and receive not only these creations, but every single piece of Creation Club content currently available for the game, in one convenient bundle.
Concept of some Amber weapons — Forged from Amber, these lightweight weapons rival Dragonbone in damage. Did you like this? Like this. Please be kind, considerate, and constructive. Horizon forbidden west is not even released. And we got news that the game is coming to pc. What the heck is happening to Sony. This game is a very difficult game.
It has difficulty settings, of course, but the complexity of the world and the problems the character is presented with, the sheer vastness of an entire land to explore and dozens of quests to fullfill, make this game a likely bewildering experience to many children younger than 12, and only if those twelve year olds are experienced or fairly experienced gamers.
There is a way of thinking that goes along with experience with games, and they will need critical thinking skills, trial and error, patience, and technical skill to be successful at this game. While it is extremely rewarding to wander into the wilderness of Skyrim, weak and practically defenseless and without knowing anything about the world you are entering, I entered that world as an experienced and confident gamer, and suspect that the experience would be overwhelming to younger children who do not have much experience with video games.
There are just so many things to do, become, try. Which brings us to the moral choices dilemma. It is true that in Skyrim, you can choose to become anything from the noblest man or woman to ever walk to earth, to the lowest, cruelest, piece of scum. For example, you could choose to save a man from a bandit's onslaught, and yet pickpocket random people on the street. You can donate your money to homeless beggars, and then join an assassin group and kill for money.
There are many moral choices in this game. To many to count. And that is why I think, in the end, this game is better than a game in which you are forced to play by default, a completely good hero or a mean antihero as in the Grand Theft Auto games.
The kind of moral choices in Skyrim can seem scary. After all, what if your child chooses to play as the worst kind of character, a merciless killer, who would kill innocent men and women on the street to rob them of their money? First of all, the fighting in this game is far less violent than most games now days. There is a little spurt of blood, and then the body falls, completely intact unless it is beheaded, and even then, the animation is nothing that most 12 year olds haven't seen worse of in movies or on TV.
Some people I know play the game in this way and find in enjoyable. But many other people find an excersize in morality, as they try to become a genuinly good person and make decisions that will benefit those around them.
It means more to be a hero in Skyrim, because you can choose not to. IT means more to choose not to lie, to choose to help someone who needs it, to choose to make a character who embodies some aspect of how you would hope to live.
But at the end of the game, the character is just a character and the world is just a world. RPG's can teach us things about ourselves, and Skyrim is one such obsticle course through which we can practice steering our morality. So this is my recommendation:seriously question whether this game is appropriate for your child if they are under 13 and not an experienced gamer.
However, if the kid is 16 and older, this game might just end up being their favorite game ever. Adult Written by Tom Molloy February 28, Vanilla is great for kids but be careful of adult mods. The game as is fine for kids, mods on console are also fine.
When I say this under stand this has nothing to do with the game developers as anyone can add anything to the game if they know how. Literally anything. Nude body mods, ultra violence, new dialogue containing swears or even sex animations. So make sure your child isn't installing those mods. The Nexus mod site has plenty of family friendly mods so don't freak out if your kid wants to mod the game just be sure YOU read the mod description first and know what's being added otherwise what ever has been said by other parents here won't matter as it will have a completely different rating depending on what's been added.
This title contains: Positive Messages. Adult Written by Sergio M. September 18, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim This is a fantasy role-playing game in which players assume the role of Dovakin, a prophesied figure with the power to combat dragons in the fictional world of Skyrim. As players traverse through mountainous "open-world" environments, they complete missions and quests that impact the eventual fate of their character.
Players use swords, bows and arrows, axes, and magic attacks e. As players engage in melee-style combat, some sequences are highlighted by slow-motion effects, particularly for decapitations. Large blood-splatter effects also occur during combat, and some environments are stained with blood or body parts e. As the game progresses, the dialogue and on-screen text contain references to sexual material e. Alcohol such as wine, mead, and ale can be purchased and consumed by players' character throughout the game; in one sequence, players can engage in a drinking contest with another character, which eventually results in slurred speech e.
No problemsh. Thash grape! Parent Written by Stephen22 July 7, Great for 12 and up! This is a fantastic game. Any teenager can play this and most 12 year olds can play it.
The main thing is the violence. There are axes and swords and magical things, lots of battle, nothing crazy, though. The violence is similar to the level of The Lord of The Rings. Some people are talking about sexual content, that's hardly an issue, sexual content is very low. The worst you can find is mild innuendo. You may find some people half naked but it's pretty much like being at a pool. If your child has been to a pool then the sexual content isn't a problem.
The language isn't bad, not anything a 12 year old doesn't know in fact most 10 year olds actually use the language. The worst I found was the 'D' word. Some people say that there is a 'B' word somewhere in the game, didn't find that, though.
It's also an amazing game, the graphics are beautiful, fun quests, big world to explore lots of nice towns and cities, wherever you go there's always something fun, the story is great, too. There is also some alcohol but that's hardly an issue. There is beer and wine but what 12 year old has never heard of that.
Drugs are also present. There is a fictional drug in the game called Skooma or something, nothing bad, though. I'm sure all kids know what drugs are. Basically the only thing you need to worry about is the violence, if your child is afraid of dragons and has nightmares from scary things then it's not for them.
If your child goes to school then they know all of the above, I've heard kids making violent jokes and things like that. A great game for 12 and up. They will love it! Adult Written by overprotectiveparent December 9, And there is very very mild sexual content.
And the kind of sexual content you do here is just about marrying and leading a happy life with your life partner. Adult Written by csi guy November 26, There is no sex, only the occasional talk about it, and even that's hard to find.
Ok for 13 and up. This is a very fun game. It is very entertaining and can also be educational. In this game you have the freedom to make choices. Know your kid. If you have a mature responsible kids over the age of 12 it should be fine. There is nothing I wouldn't trust my 12 year old with. There is violence and very small amounts of sexual content. But it is very rare and is very mild. Nothing kids this age can't handle. Adult Written by Gameratings November 7, This game has swearing but the swearing is the same as you would see in a PG movie.
The gore is very fake. The violence is hitting enemies, who attack or steal from you. Adult Written by Juanibanez September 16, Showing pickpocket is bad to my toddler I think my toddler is smart she is 4 I showed her pickpocket is bad in Skyrim and there are consequences now she's pickpocketing at school make sure you tell your kids not to pickpocket for fun!!
Adult Written by ChristineSoccer May 13, So, this game is rated M for Mature. That's wrong on so many levels. My son, 15 at the time, asked me if he could buy this game. Now, I looked at it and was a bit skeptical so I did a bit of research.
He got the game the next day. Unless you are planning on modding this game like crazy, your old gaming laptop should run this game just fine. Now you can even play it on the go with a Nintendo Switch. To be honest, the first time I ever played Skyrim was the Switch edition. Being able to play such a great game anywhere you are is awesome! And when you get home you can connect it to the dock and play on your PC.
I thought it would be the best introduction to the game, and it definitely was a great experience. There is an excessive amount of items in Skyrim. Most players can relate to slow running to the shop while being massively overburdened with items. The huge amount of items strewn around the world almost forces you to keep Lydia or another companion around as your personal pack mule.
Some players just fill their house with these items like virtual hoarders. No problem, just restart. Once you get past the boring intro to the game which I have played over a dozen times , the game can play out differently than your last playthrough. The story quests will get old, but the exploring is always worth turning to. If things start to become stale to you, take a break for a couple of weeks and come back. Things will once again seem exciting and new.
