After all, at its core, Skyrim is a heavily combat-based fantasy RPG, which isn’t exactly the coziest gaming genre. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
But the magic of Skyrim is that, despite the many choices you can make to change the story, the world is always the same. Every time I boot up the game and that iconic orchestral score starts playing, a wave of warmth and nostalgia instantly washes over me. Yes, in the vast open world of Skyrim, I can do whatever I want \u2014 but I also usually know what will happen when I do.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
It’s like diving into one of my favorite comfort shows for the 27th time. The characters, the settings, and the dynamics are all familiar, and I know I’m going to have a good time. Except Skyrim adds a level of augmented reality to that because I get to choose the story that takes place in this familiar world. It’s like immersive, interactive fan fiction, and I can’t get enough of it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
