Skyrim will go down as the greatest example of "visual dopamine over substance" compared to any other game released. There is no good worldbuilding foundation, people know the narrative is vapid, any good lore was created back in Morrowind, and the only thing that saved it from a fate of irrelevance was its modability. The modding community is a mirror of the games shallow nature, dressing up their dolls and world to hide from the utter revulsion and disappointment that there is absolutely nothing else to latch onto. After all, porn is by its nature a quick dopamine hit, a self gratifying experience that can blind you to reality, in this case, the reality that Skyrim ******* sucks.

If you want a pointed example of how porn can reshape society and control its trajectory, look no further than Skyrim nexus. Israel would be proud boys, the goyim cattle truly crafted something beautiful.
Poetislop. Skyrim is one of the most popular games ever made and continues to go down as an extremely well beloved game. Every single game ever has nude mods come out within an hour of release. Skyrim is just the most popular so of course it keeps the highest number of them alongside the more indepth and ambitious mods. It's not that deep bro.

Most people who liked Skyrim have never stopped playing it for more than like 6-9 months before jumping back in.

FNV seems to completely dominate the "that's a cool mod" market
Example:
https://www.nexusmods.com/newvegas/mods/92277

wtf that's cool


neat
The animated mods are cool until you realize they're just blinking lights and adding a drawn out animation for random parts of the game that used to be instant like it's a modern AAA game where you have to press a context sensitive button for Kratos to slowly open a door.

I've become a snob about Skyrim modding from my time wading through the trash on Nexus. If you want a large personal list, you'll need 5 years experience minimum to make something that is a holistic improvement over the base game and not just an amusing experiment. If you sort by endorsements, you're told that garbage like Serana Dialogue Add-on and the action combat animations are what you should install. Most of what gets views on YouTube is also garbage, as you can see from rusty's post. Gate to Sovngarde is one of the few modlists that I would recommend, but even that needs weeding.

It's a very old game so a lot of old garbage will be at the top of the endorsement lists just due to being around longer and then people sorting my endorsed and going with whatever has the biggest number.
Also most "people" are ****** cattle goytard hylics with atrocious taste.

Euro truck simulator 2 has 3x as many players as skyrim, time for zooms to accept they're getting old and Skyrim was never good, they just had the judgment of a child.

What really is a pain for me is installing all these dependencies for certain mods. Just to get one newer mod running, where you want to be able to use 4 ring slots you have to install like 5 other mods which probably also have some dependencies. That I just dont bother anymore with extensive modding, not even animation overhauls which are really needed especially if takes like 10seconds for the character to stand up after he got shouted to the ground. Took me alone 2-3 hours just to get the Requiem overhaul mod running with the special edition because that also needed a few dependencies and sometimes its not the right one. And I refuse to pay nexus to be able to download modlists.

But yeah dialogue wise you can skip pretty much all in skyrim. Maybe not the Cidna mine quest thats one of the better ones. But the game is certainly not build arround that you use followers and horses all the time. Had both disappearing from me once I got the summon horse spell and used that and my wabbajack and sanguine rose staff from horse was gone and once I got ported into a different dimension the follower just reseted and lost all the gear she had.

And dont get me started with how many followers I killed "accidently" with chainlightning because they go down too easiely and none quest followers often dont have the essential tag.

I didn’t even know what Woke/DEI/SJW/Gay Race communism was back in 2011.

My first (known) exposure to it was people simping for the tyrannical globohomo Rome-equivalent in this game. Even fantasy White Men aren’t allowed to be heckin’-wholesome-rebels or underdogs. Nope evulracistThalmorSpy Ulfric Stormcloak is the REAL bad guy dontchaknow? I’m media literate.

Popular doesn't mean I am obligated to care or placate my opinion on behalf of others, nor is there just a few nude mods for Skyrim. What a very lazy attempt at obfuscation.

Okay but you said it will "go down in history" as though your viewpoint will ever be something beyond a fringe outlier.

Skyrim's current degenerate state isn't a hidden secret, majority of people who have dipped their toes into that scene is well aware of it, which isn't a fringe amount anymore compared to what it used to be. So yes, it will go down in history with that reputation. Why are you focused on defending the popular position here? Most of us here have fringe opinions, what a shocking revelation to discover. Glad the low quality posting is back on the menu.

That's a tv season bump, similar to the one it got back in 2024, though diminishing returns are setting in. https://steamdb.info/charts/?compare=72 ... 160,489830

Normally more people play Skyrim.

Interesting that season 1 provided that much of a bump, that's almost twice what TW3 and Cyberpunk received for their respective shows. The only thing notable about TW3 was that it's show bump exceeded its launch peak. The Fallout show's second season only peaking the game at a third of what S1 did is telling though.
