Skyrim has gone on sale once again on Steam, 75% off, and has once again topped the top sellers list.

Isnt that insane? 3 years on and it still is selling like hotcakes. You'd think that everyone would have bought their copy already, but Bethesda still seems to find more customers to buy Skyrim. It's quite amazing, to be honest, when I first played Morrowind way back in 2004 I knew that Bethesda was something special, but I never expected it to get -this- crazy, and break into the mainstream with such force.

I was waiting on a certain mod to be released before I boot up Skyrim again, but after having it pop into my face on Steam its hard to resist. Is anyone else being prompted by this Steam sale to draw up a new character? I was hoping to spend some time hanging around Tel Uvirith, but it looks like the cold and snowy north is the future. Fitting, since it's just starting to get cold here .

Yes, I tried to make another elf, but he only made it to level 5 before I realized how much I hated playing elves.

Only really played Dunmer, since you know, House Telvanni and all. Still haven't reached Solstheim because of crippling restartitis, but hopefully by writing down a lot of stuff for my new nord ranger I will feel more compelled to play him.

Pretty damn cool that it's still selling.

Extremely cool. Having played since Morrowind its been really cool to see TES and Bethesda grow from a handful of developers with moderate success to a dev team 200 strong that is creating huge blockbusters that sell many many millions, while still not compromising any of the things that makes their games truly special.

I think the next step is where we have developers wanting a piece of the open world RPG pie and developing their own attempts at a game like Skyrim. Witcher 3 seems to be courting some of the Skyrim players, but I have a feeling that give it a few years and we'll have someone trying to make direct competition with Bethesda's next release. I hope i'm not wrong, since having both other games like this and true competition will only make the games better and achieve a Open World RPG rennisance.

Just goes to show that Skyrim on the PC is still alive and well. And the mod community keeps churning out some amazing additions to the game.

I wonder if this is why Nexus is slow today. It seems when ever Skyrim goes on sale, the nexus site gets a lot more traffic.

I first played Skyrim on xbox but after a while gave up as I could see so many ways it could be improved upon with mods. So yesterday I grabbed the Legendary edition at 66% off and today I've been on the nexus.....so yes, guilty as charged your honor...

Welcome to the dark side

Yeah I'm sure someone else besides Red will go after the Open World market with worthy additions. Hopefully ES 6 really brings a big game along.

Elves4lyfe.

Seriously, every time I try to make a Nord or Argonian or pretty much anything except an elf, it just never goes well for me...
