11 years later, Skyrim treasure hunting is finally fun with this Red Dead Redemption-style journal
I’ve never enjoyed treasure hunting in Skyrim. Not really. I mean, fair enough, Bethesda’s enduring action role-player is over 11 years old at this point, but for a game with such an impressive sandbox, one that offers so much variety, and so many activities that deviate from its main quest line, it’s always bugged me that something that could, and probably should, be brilliant in this world is a wee bit lacking. You don’t need me to tell you that Skyrim has stood (and continues to stand) the test of time – Skyrim survived the decade and Bethesda believes “people will still be playing it” in the next one – but given it still continues to roll out new editions and new patches on new platforms, the desire to see improvements applied to its quieter moments doesn’t feel unreasonable.
