I really don’t care about the story, I care more about exploration, grinding for better gear, graphics and that the game is not too complicated to learn.
If Skyrim is the better option is the anniversary edition better?
I honestly think vanilla (umodded) Skyrim is, in some ways, rather overrated. It’s not the masterpiece that many make it out to be.
However, it’s still fun, and if you don’t care much about story depth and want a ton (like, seriously, a ton) of content for a decent price, get Skyrim. For all the clunkiness of Betheda’s engine, there’s a genuine charm and compelling nature to many of their games, Skyrim included, that keep you thinking “I know it’s 3an, but I’m just gonna explore a little more…”.
Shadow of War is a decent action fantasy game, and runs rather well on the Deck, but it gets rather repetitive. If you like The Lord of the Rings stuff, obviously that helps, but beware if you’re deeply into the actual story / lore from the books. The game is…not accurate, to put it mildly.
