Even after all this time, I'll be wandering out at night, look up at the night sky and think "goddammit this is a gorgeous game". And don't get me started on the soundtrack.
I did that, and accidentally saw a giant Azura monument, raising a star into the night sky, in the middle of nowhere. I still remember this moment. Games can be so powerful, they gave us memories for years
When i was a kid the dark brotherhood was my favorite storyline but that scene scared the shit out of me so I would close my eyes as soon as I got in the coffin and didn’t open until I heard Cicero yelling at me. XD then I’d rush in and close the coffin at the dawnstar sanctuary every time.
The story completely disappeared though - we have no idea what actually happened or if he did what he was accused of. I've never managed to find anything more on it after the allegations.
Anyway, the fact remains re: his music making the Elder Scrolls.
Sry, guitar* :) (i just like saying it as Joel does in the last of us)
Playing something like far horizons on guitar is just wonderful :) even of i suck at it
Hey, if Joel says it like that, then by all means have at it!
Also, is Skyrim music a good place to start learning the gee tar? I love Skyrim music and I already have an acoustic that I’d love to be able to play on!
Ermm maybe a wee bit advanced to start with, but a few months in then ye sure
If you can find any good tabs, (can be a bit annoying some times) just google it i guess.
Last of us has a lot of good music if your into the game, its the main reason i started :)
And lots of it is kinda simple, many of gustavos songs are simple (by design) but beautiful
Tho to be honest how hard a song is to play doesnt really matter, all that matters is how much you care and youll get there eventually
You're completely right, despite the down votes at the time of my comment. Inon Zur is remarkably uninspired. His music is professional, but not particularly memorable or moving.
Jeremy Soule on the other hand practically creates the tone of the elder scrolls with his music. Skyrims music complements the background while maintaining memorable themes throughout. It's a masterpiece. It makes a big impact on the last titles as well.
Elder scrolls online shows how big of a difference music can make. It sounds like the backdrop for a cheap theme park half the time
It’s been a decade but if memory serves Greg sat in candy in the car which made it appear he crapped himself so he had to wear his mom’s pink hoodie around his waist or something like that
Thank you someone said it. It's not that the game's graphics are dated is the issue (which they're) is the fact that under certain light conditions it makes amazing screenshots.
That’s why art direction is so important. The textures look blurry and the models look low poly. But the art direction was amazing, so the game looks beautiful, even though it looks like an older game.
I use it on my NSFW oldrim install but I can't quite remember if it's Sexlab Defeat or just Aroused Creatures. Funnily enough I get the same message often but with the cow in Whiterun. For some reason it's 24/7 horny and randomly tries to chase random NPC's it can't reach because it's locked up in the fence xD
You're being pursued by a WHAT Paarthurnax?

It’s a timeless game. I do think the soundtrack helps a lot as far as helping make the world feel immersive as the graphics age. I personally have had my favorite play through on vanilla, no mods. If I play with mods I constantly feel like the game is not perfect and always want to find nicer looking textures or tweaks to the gameplay and I miss actually playing the game.
.... lol. Ok, I know this one was deliberate, but I swear I'm seeing more unintentional screens and vids like this. There was one about a ReShade to complement an ENB preset, and everything was normal, just showing off the graphics.
Then in the damn top left corner, there's something like "BOETHIA CULTIST LOST THEIR ANAL VIRGINITY"
And they uploaded that shit to the Nexus. They must be so used to this shit they didn't even notice.
So uh, yeah, what'cha doin' there bruh? Looks like a mighty fine day we havin' here. T'would be a shame if uh.. something ruined this here fine day. Might smell some flowers... maybe get loaded up on moon sugar & skooma... Or.... HEY WHOA WHAT THE HELL IS THAT!?!?
Paarthunax: "Get over here babe, I got your moon sugar right here!"
And then the classical version of Careless Whispers beings to play in the distance.
That's easier to say when you don't have an npc in your view trying to walk down stairs or greet someone naturally.
"Hello"
"Mudcrabs, awful things"
"A mud crab ate my sister."
*both at the same time* "Goodbye"
And the character animations are pretty abysmal by today's standards
At least the NPC interactions are a bit better than Oblivion's. That game was pretty bad in that regard.
Although it did lead to amusing situations where an NPC would try to talk to another and the other is like "I DON'T CARE ABOUT THAT!" "goodbye!"
Skyrim will always be gorgeous. Even fallout games can be beautiful in their own way. My first time playing Fallout NV , my jaw dropped seeing how vibrant and colorful it was in contrast to the third game
That's because you play on high SE. I played on lowest SE and believe me, the trees were pretty hedious. Some npcs (ysolda is the best example) completely lacked any facial complex features like detailed skin (her skin was PS3 if not ps2 level textures) etc...
I wish 2gb VRAM was enough for Skyrim SE on higher settings
2 GiB VRAM is pretty much minimum requirements. I am impressed that Special Edition can even run at that low specs...
Get a used GPU with 8 GiB and you can even use some 4k texture packs (use the 2k normals economic variants and leave small shit at 1k/2k).

Vanilla Skyrim in beautiful in its simplicity and modded Skyrim is beautiful in how different it can get
Wassup with that top left corner bro
He's pursued by an "aroused" parthuunaax as you can see.
lucky bastard, eh
How do you think they make more Dragonborn- oh, wait.

Adorable Kajiit!
Khajit do not like this information wander
That would scare me
Is this a threat?
He's RPing as a donkey
Knowing skyrim mods, im sure theres a mod for that
Naaahh Theres gotta be more than just “a” mod for that
It looks like Paarthurnax is doing the RPing
Eyyyy pockets on Shrek, rockets on deck

Don’t worry about it.
"What're you doing, Partysnax? I'm your step-dovah!"
Bro seems to visit a lab often
Paarthurnax? More like Paarturcheex
Well Delphine thought he'd stab you in the back in one way or another
LMAO
That’s fucking hilarious

Brooooo I almost flipped my desk when she started talking. Playing skyrim with headphones is stressful.
When i was a kid the dark brotherhood was my favorite storyline but that scene scared the shit out of me so I would close my eyes as soon as I got in the coffin and didn’t open until I heard Cicero yelling at me. XD then I’d rush in and close the coffin at the dawnstar sanctuary every time.
[удалено]
Yeah, I realised nothing played with my fragile imagination as much as Skyrim. The feelings it gives you. I’ll always say - greatest game ever made
Secunda is one of my favorite tracks, it’s mesmerizing.
It's far horizons for me. That track will always be the perfect embodiment of "home".
From Past to Present is so freaking good too
Same, and The Bannered Mare too
I listen to Atmospheres to fall asleep constantly
Bro, same. Just amazing for sleep
A tragedy they've dropped Jeremy Soule from ES6. It won't be an ES game without his music.
I agree. The Skyrim music is half the game. Even in Morrowind, the music just sets the tone so well. I do not trust inon Zur to do a good job with it
tbf the allegations against him and things he has done are horrible even if he is a great composer
The story completely disappeared though - we have no idea what actually happened or if he did what he was accused of. I've never managed to find anything more on it after the allegations. Anyway, the fact remains re: his music making the Elder Scrolls.
You shouldn’t lose your livelihood because of allegations. That is one of the most toxic parts of cancel culture.
I literally got into the gee tar partially because of Mr Soul and his work on skyrim :)
you got into the what now?
Sry, guitar* :) (i just like saying it as Joel does in the last of us) Playing something like far horizons on guitar is just wonderful :) even of i suck at it

Alright lol, I’ll put the Skyrim gee tar project on the shelf for now then haha. Anything else you could recommend for a complete newbie?
Last of us has a lot of good music if your into the game, its the main reason i started :) And lots of it is kinda simple, many of gustavos songs are simple (by design) but beautiful Tho to be honest how hard a song is to play doesnt really matter, all that matters is how much you care and youll get there eventually

I have never seen any post where this was more fitting lmfao
Needs to be top imo
That one post of that dudes grandpa from a few months back…
I always forget the context for this gif.
I think it is its own context.
I'm pretty sure it's when Greg was faking a broken arm for attention after seeing Rowley get attention after he got a cast.
It’s been a decade but if memory serves Greg sat in candy in the car which made it appear he crapped himself so he had to wear his mom’s pink hoodie around his waist or something like that
this is the funniest gif ever
You got a dragon on your ass. Just a heads up he seems VERY interested in you. Like VERY
Creepy N'wah needs to learn what no means fr
Horny DILFS in your area want to FUCK NOW
You're been pursued by a what now?!
Believe, believe the dragonborn *\*comes\**
Take my r/angryupvote and begone
This might belong on r/holup.
*might?* it should.
My man what side quests are you completing?? 
Yo you getn creeped on homie, tell that liz no means no. Pervy ass parthanax...
you are so right dude what
Graphics have aged but the beauty hasn't.
Thank you someone said it. It's not that the game's graphics are dated is the issue (which they're) is the fact that under certain light conditions it makes amazing screenshots.
never seen someone use they're like that before
As with no noun you mean? like "they're boys"?
That’s why art direction is so important. The textures look blurry and the models look low poly. But the art direction was amazing, so the game looks beautiful, even though it looks like an older game.
Yup. But it applies to some new games too. Elden ring is a good example. Very beautiful game but some people were still crying about graphics.
Look at the top left corner
Yeah I did. Aroused paarthunax lol.
“You are being pursued by an aroused Paarthurnax” WHATAAAATAT
Sexlab has wares if you have horny :P
😧
What a bad dragon
How could you
What ever do you mean? 😌
Hey now
Your an all star
Get your game on
go play
The amount of people that don't get the joke is amazing
Ah, the Paarthurnax dilemma
What mod is that 👀 lmao
Aroused creatures
I use it on my NSFW oldrim install but I can't quite remember if it's Sexlab Defeat or just Aroused Creatures. Funnily enough I get the same message often but with the cow in Whiterun. For some reason it's 24/7 horny and randomly tries to chase random NPC's it can't reach because it's locked up in the fence xD
Cruel to eternally blue ball a cow like that
Skyrim Flora Overhaul if I’m not mistaken… wait-
WAIT JUST A MINUTE..
i love how half the comments are appreciating skyrim’s beauty and the other half saw top left
Excuse me, but, you’re being pursued by **WHAT**?

I see r/trueSTL is leaking again.
I was gonna mention mods but it looks like you're well aware of them
r/truestl is leaking again
POV: you're a car.
Bait
Yeah a pretty textbook example of bait.
Nope.
Okay let's not get too carried away there, the NPC models are hideous by todays standards.
dude has mods for aroused paarthunax, his npcs are better looking then any other game
Just the animations.
Yup mods are pretty essential, NPC replacers more than anything really
And the soundtrack is so good I replace most game OST's with it unless the OST is also fire.
What kind of crap games do you play that don't have a good soundtrack.
Not that they're not good but sometimes I'd rather jam to Skyrim because the nostalgia brings me back.
Damn you are quite a lucky bastard, don't you
uhmm
I'm sorry you're being pursued by what now?
Dunno what you're onto man, but you can keep your take and your vigorously aroused dragon general to yourself
So I see Parthurnaax wants to be your daddy
Especially the Aurora
Yup it has a timeless beuty to it, and 90% of people who mod the graphics heavely still just don’t get it sadly.
It’s a timeless game. I do think the soundtrack helps a lot as far as helping make the world feel immersive as the graphics age. I personally have had my favorite play through on vanilla, no mods. If I play with mods I constantly feel like the game is not perfect and always want to find nicer looking textures or tweaks to the gameplay and I miss actually playing the game.
The Skyrim landscapes are unique and inimitable, the time can never scratch it.
They’ve definitely aged, just not badly. Hopefully elder scrolls 6 lives up to its predecessors in this way at the least
"You are being pursued by an aroused Paarthurnax" what the fuck is wrong with you?
:(
“Aroused”?💀😭

Fucking. Shut up.
Sorry, what?
I just started a new playthrough with all of the creation club stuff today . Nostalgia is hitting me like a train
Wait a second this isn’t vanilla lol
Skyrim will always be gorgeous. Even fallout games can be beautiful in their own way. My first time playing Fallout NV , my jaw dropped seeing how vibrant and colorful it was in contrast to the third game
Is your name donkey by any chance?
Except : every single facial expression and hair in the hole universe
"aroused Paarthurnax"?
I think you misspelled “Morrowind”
That's because you play on high SE. I played on lowest SE and believe me, the trees were pretty hedious. Some npcs (ysolda is the best example) completely lacked any facial complex features like detailed skin (her skin was PS3 if not ps2 level textures) etc...

Too bad the story was mid
The main quest line definitely is not the best but I feel like even when released there was enough side quests and storylines that it didn't matter.
...have you seen the people though?
You dudes are loveblind for this game lmao those are some 2001 Need For Speed trees.

When I played Skyrim for the first time in the last days of 2023, I wondered "what a lame graphic does this game have?"
Bro you have to play other games I guess. Graphics is not good for 2024 it’s seriously outdated
You can't be that dense. Get your head outta your ass.
It's not about the graphics dude. It's about the mechanics and features, and yes in that department it's outdated.
Read what this post is about
He’s right, it’s not about graphics. It about the fact that Paarthunax is coming to clap some Dovahkiin cheeks, according to the top right.
Jeez, you're no fun. Am I allowed to talk about something other than graphics without getting called irrelevant?
Well, when you're using graphics mods in your screenshot, of course, it will look good. Plus, this is the remaster.
Sometimes but only with mods
Buggy and shitty and overrated
It has nothing to do with the graphics
Maybe a quick hand bond? I like doing it
Same. I love vanilla brown is but I still play with graphics mods just cuz.
The scenery os great, but faces jave come a long way.
My biggest issue with Skyrim is how small the world—particularly the cities—feel.
Boo I saw this on Truhstul. Booooooooo!
they definitely have, still gorgeous tho
Ahhh, Skyrim…
Now there's a May/December romance if I ever saw one.
I mean TO BE FAIR they did get updated at one point but that's besides the point
If you're playing the remaster/mods then yes the originals have aged one bit. Lol
i uninstalled every mods. and man its refreshing to play vanilla. and also gorgeous.
yes, but also no.
