Played a little bit of Skyrim last night. My wife and I had finished watching a fair bit of Poirot and didn't want to go on to the next series due to time constraints (the episodes were long 1hr45mins ones). Because of that I decided to play some Skyrim for a bit before we went to bed to read and fall asleep.
Seeing that game on the new TV made it look really good. I know the PS3/360 versions don't match up to what a PC can put out nowadays but just playing through little bits of it again reminded me why I spent an incredible amount of time playing that game. Just doing the odds and ends that I was last night I fell in to that groove of running around the world killing things and looting treasure. I really have no idea why I enjoy it so much wandering around in a world like that interacting (well mainly killing) with the NPCs/monsters. It is just a damn shame it takes them so long to put out those games, after Oblivion, Fallout 3 and now Skyrim over 6 years of time I wish they could put more of them out. I might get tired of them if they did too many I suppose and they keep their uniqueness by coming out as infrequently as they do but they have that draw to me that I just can't get enough of them.
It's a bit like spending time with my wife. Being around her and knowing she is there. I can't get enough of that and am lucky enough to be the person who is always with her when I can be (damn you work). It isn't just the familiar surroundings of her being there but something else. I'm not sure how to describe it really. It just feels right like playing Skyrim feels right to me. Something just clicks in my mind and the world is how it should be for me. Bah, I suck at explaining why it feels that way but it just does.
