Countless of mods out there change the gameplay in a way that makes it essential for players to focus on details like hunger, diseases and even temperature changes. There's such a large map to see and so many different quests to finish that players who plan on finishing the game vanilla-style aren't likely to get bored any time soon.įor those wanting to change things up and introduce challenge into the game, turning Skyrim into a survival experience might just be the solution. Even without any mods or add-ons, The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim is still a pretty engaging game.
