Giving Skyrim 5 stars is more than it deserves, but the amount of joy it has brought me over the years is more than worth it. Skyrim has been a source of inspiration and comfort through some of the most difficult times in my life, and I didn't even start experimenting with mods until a couple of years ago. Vanilla Skyrim is a fun experience as it is, made better by the dlc and improved even more by the dedicated modders. While I may be waiting until 2037 for The Elder Scrolls VI, I will definitely still be enjoying Skyrim.
