On the other, Skyrim's mid-to-late-game mission design makes this approach incredibly frustrating. On one hand, the game provides a wilderness trek-even despite being couched in a fantasy locale-with fidelity unrivaled by nearly every other open world game. Was simultaneously the best and the worst thing I'd ever done in an Elder Scrolls. I'm personally placing my hopes on The Witcher 3, mind.

It's the same kind of victory as The Fellowship reaching the far end of Moria, or Sam and Frodo finding the Black Gate in LOTR.Īssuming that the next ES, or other great open world, makes the cut, then yeah, I'll absolutely do one of these playthroughs at some point. Those long treks from one point to another, unable to rest for the beasts roaming about, became a battle of attrition, and by the time you reached your objective, the relief was palpable. Running through that game was never anything less than mesmerizing. Also, I feel the need to emphasize this as often as humanly possible, Morrowind has the single best world ever created in games (maybe even altogether). I certainly don't consider Skyrim or Oblivion to make the cut, though the expansion for Oblivion, the Shivering Isles, is absolutely brilliant. Unfortunately, those kind of games are few and far inbetween. If the world is immersive enough, then I think a non-fast travel playthrough, as you put it, only enhances the experience. Any game that offers an open world with a fast travel option. Not that its bad or anything but just that when I replay a game typically (even years later) I just don't have the patience to do something like that, I usually just want to see the high parts of the story or memorable quests.ĮDIT: I know the Mods moved this to the Skyrim forum but I mean have you done this type of thing in any game, Fallout 3, Dragons Dogma, etc.
Playing Skyrim over the past few weeks has, if anything, killed any desire to want to do something like that. I've been thinking that if I were to do anything like this nowadays it would need to be a first playthrough of a game because that is when I'm most interested in that universe. So has anyone done this type of playthrough for kicks? And what was it like? Well years later, I'm married, have a kid, in school and a job so doing this just isn't realistic to do with my time constraints. One of my gaming dreams of mine was to play through Skyrim someday not using the Fast Travel System, Map Markers anything like that, just get really immersed in the world.
