That’s the danger with a remaster like this - you can easily ignore the journey because you already know that the destination is so damn lovely. Even then, death came quickly and frequently to me because I tried to rush through tried to act bolder than I should have. Having spent several hundred hours with the original version, it’s a strange thing to go back to the beginning and not lose your training wheels for a good 20-30 hours. In some instances, I actually found this quite frustrating - not because I wasn’t instantly rewarded, but because I knew how it felt to be higher level in this game. We’ve grown even more accustomed to becoming the biggest, baddest dude in the galaxy / city / land after only a few hours of play, but Skyrim demands that you forge your legend inch by inch. Skyrim’s rewards are perhaps a little more understated by today’s standards. The best Skyrim companions: Which are the best followers to join you on your quest?
