A somewhat open world semi-rpg action adventure game.

I can see the appeal from back in the day, but it's pretty awkward now. Figuring out a fuckload of mods is mandatory, and even though that community has been going very very strong for a long time it's fucking hard to do so.

• 2023-09-23 - 1.6.659.0.8 on Windows 11

2023-09-23 - 1.6.659.0.8 ∞

Checking the properties/details of SkyrimSE.exe says 1.6.659.0

• Borderless Windowed just shows a strange squished box that I can't resize. See Enabling ultrawide
• It would be nice if I could press the numpad enter instead of the regular enter key.
• Wow, I can see why people hate the intro. It's so tedious. Replaying really would necessitate a mod to skip the whole chunk of intro.
• Tabbing out pauses the game but keeps the audio loops going. Clippity-clop

• Lol, as soon as I hop off the cart I see a bug with one NPC bouncing and sliding around another. Sigh.

Character creation:

• Holy fuck, how do I do anything? I don't understand the interface. I can't click anywhere, and cursor keys don't go between sections.
• j for the system menu. Why isn't it escape?
• ` for the console.
• None of the keys work. I smashed around and accidentally got to the "Body" section but no keys go anywhere else.
• Oh, I have to click ABOVE the top options. Who the fuck invented this? Is this an ultrawide problem? Why wouldn't pageup/pagedown work?
• I can't figure out how to change my name.
• Oh, if I press r it will then ask me to name myself. Fuck guys, learn to make a game.

• I need a random name generator.

• Use the sheath weapon key to drop something. I had to look that up.
• I wish the inventory had a weight-value ratio that would help me judge what to drop.
• Is there a weapon swap hotkey? Maybe. I had to fumble around.
• Press f when looking at something to add it into the favorites list.
• Press q in game to open the favorites menu.
• If it's empty, why let me search it?

• How do I remove a map's custom destination?

  • Oh, click elsewhere and then you can remove it.

• So not-stealing had me attacked. I don't understand.

  • I get stunned and die. I respawn into combat.
• How do I use "Voice of the Emperor"?
• It took me a while to understand what "perks to increase" meant.. there was no obvious interaction to make.
• How do shields even work? Do they even work?

• Oh, an infinitely-resurrecting enemy. Sigh; uninstall.
