It has given me a lot of time to master and perfect a particularly ferocious interpretation of a popular Skyrim build: the sneak archer. Despite it all though, I still find myself learning new things and exploring quests I’ve never done before. Combine the pirated copy I originally played in 2011 and the two legitimate copies in my Steam library and you have hundreds upon hundreds of hours across multiple playthroughs. It struck me the other day that I’ve played The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim more than any other game, even though my Steam account may not reflect it, given that I played it before I was even on Steam and that I’ve played both the vanilla version and the Special Edition on Steam.
