The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Special Edition

Despite everything I said the other day, and only really playing Leaving Lyndow as a precursor to starting Evershade, and also starting Foolish Mortals since then, I once again felt Skyrim calling to me (I have a feeling it might be something to do with reading more of Lankhmar — I'd be gleefully installing a Fafhrd and Grey Mouser game if there was one!) As I already had it installed from when I nearly started it before, I thought, well, why not boot it up? (I mean, other than all the other games I've already started and should be playing).

But also, I thought that maybe I'll just end up noodling around for a little bit, get this urge out of my system, and then come back to it properly another time (because I do want to play it sometime). However, after playing for an hour-and-a-half without even pushing myself (and not being forced to: unlike so many other games I've played recently, this one lets you save whenever you want — hurrah!), it feels like I've barely started, and there's so much already waiting for me (as in, specific things to do, not just the general promise of the whole game) that I kinda want to go back and play more already. Maybe I'm about to follow in the footsteps of people who've sunk 500… 600… 700… 1000+ hours into this game over the last decade-and-a-half.
