I still can't get over The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Are there any games that can replace it? I want to try something newer, with better technology, but I hope they can be as rich and interesting as Skyrim.

And that's the beauty of this immersive game. My play was completely different.

I was also pretty liberal with my usage of consumables. I'm always blazing that smokeweed and I chugged potions like a kid discovering soda.

The scouting with scrolls is also a godsend permadeath. Things leave you alone to explore the wilderness. Granted, I don't get to pick anything up along the way but I get to plan and sometimes straight avoid encounters over my head that are blocking my way somewhere.

I found that i wanted to kill everything i could and if it was pushing me back that it just wasnt for me yet. leveling was the strongest gains i got throughout as well as moving through the story to get better armor.

I wanted parts and didn't want to wait on the long respawn times; so I kept the wildlife plentiful until I had the ability to acquire their better parts.

Leveling is the strongest gains but leveling doesn't do crap if you accidentally run into something you're not supposed to and get ganked cause you were unfamiliar with the area on permadeath.

To my knowledge there's no respawn times. Things are added in new chapters. I regret ever getting the skinning skills. i doubt i even got back much more than i paid for them, and i could've used the money at the beginning but by the time it was paying off i didnt need the money.

Felt like they would respawn but maybe I just misremembering between saves. I've not regretted getting the skills. Being able to make my own scrolls has been great.
