I've never played Skyrim, but I'm not big into Elder Scrolls. I've only played Morrowind and hated it because I couldn't exit the first area of the game. Everything was blocked off by doors that could only be entered if you were level 5, 10, sometimes 50. I also got really sick of hearing about Skyrim before it was coming out back in High School. I mean, I don't like games with giant maps. I just like going from point A to point B in a story. The only reason I was able to beat Breath of the Wild is because it was Zelda. If it wasn't, I don't think I would've gotten very far.
However, I promised some people if Skyrim came to the Switch I'd flip a do a coin flip to see if I would get it and I lost that coin flip so I'm going to get it. Apparently one of my other friends has been wanting to play Skyrim so two of my friends might get together and have a Skyrim party where I play it on the Switch, one plays it on the 360, and one other plays it on the PC. So that might make it more fun. I'm also going to avoid getting the Link gear because I want to try to beat it legit without tricking myself into believe it's BotW.
