God, it's like being a kid again. I haven't played in around 11 years after an unfortunate accident where I deleted my Xbox's entire memory. Call me a casual all you want, but Skyrim really is one of my favorite games. I love that you can spend a whole day going in one direction and clearing out caves and finding random superpowerful items.
Welcome back. I'm a long time Skyrim modder myself. I'm doing a modded playthrough right now myself.
