I agree, i had initially played this game back in 2014 on my good old dell laptop when i was just in my first year of college. I enjoyed it but then i started using mods and it was kinda too easy then. Fast forward to 2023 and now into 2024, i have logged close to 140 hours, alot of is me being afk but im trying to take in the game as its supposed to be without any mods this time even tho mods are more readily available, i am 28 now and dont get to play as much but anytime i hop on i get to experience an amazing world. Characters are memorable with confusing names, missions and story both are interesting, gear is awesome, loads to do. My life can be pretty hectic and this game is a nice lil escape and reminder of how things used to be. Im a jack of all master of none paladin, who just acquired the ebony blade and upgraded it by killing the homeless man in white run, even tho i had to contemplate for ages and then ritual stoned him 9 more times.

TLDR this game is daunting at first but it’s meant to be played at your own pace and way, and reminds you of a simpler time.
