Words cannot begin to describe how badly designed and overrated Skyrim is as a video game. In some parts, it's better than Oblivion in terms of atmosphere and tone. But the main point of this game is that it's essentially a modding sandbox for Nexus in that you need so many fucking mods just to make the game FEEL less empty and more bearable. That's not a good example of game design if you either need mods to enhance your experience OR you still feel unfulfilled playing the base game and DLC's and feel like you could use more.

Skyrim's ingenuity is that it did help encapsulate the fantasy zeitgeist in one fell swoop and catered to all kinds of audiences. It's accessibility and approach in design was also what made it stand out compared to its predecessors.

Overall, I would definitely say that while it hasn't replaced sex (in fact, what's crazy is that this is THE game for all the sex mods on Nexus), it can't help make it feel like it's better than that.

Morrowind is still the best RPG in TES in spite of its limitations and I still prefer it to Oblivion or Skyrim by a longshot. If you're literate and are capable of critical thinking, you're more than likely to succeed when playing it.
