What are you even talking about? In what way does the word “imagine” change the obvious intention of the topic? In what way could you possibly interpret it differently? The OP wants you to imagine Skyrim as if you’ve never played it. As in, he doesn’t want you to respond as someone who’s played Skyrim endlessly and is naturally bored of it and can pick apart all of its flaws. He wants you to respond as if Skyrim would be a completely new experience. When you think back to your first experience with Skyrim, just how much did you like it and would you rather experience that or play ESO now? Interpreting this any other way defeats the purpose because obviously most people on the ESO forum are going to want to play ESO, a game with periodic updates and new content, as opposed to a game that they’ve likely played to death and hasn’t been supported in years.It has to do with the clear intention of the topic. I fail to see how the addition of the word “imagine” changes anything. You were meant to look at this topic and think back to the anticipation of Skyrim’s release, the first day you got it, the first character you created. How you feel about it after having played it for hours on end shouldn’t come into play. That defeats the purpose. The thought should be “would you rather experience Skyrim over again for the first time (remembering your first experience) or play ESO”? For me, it’s Skyrim. Not even close. ESO, while good for an MMO, is a mediocre game at best.Do people not read titles anymore? It clearly says “you have never played Skyrim,” as in “you’re not suffering from fatigue.”I’d be playing Skyrim. The only reason I even started playing this joke of an Elder Scrolls game is because of Skyrim. And I’m only playing it now in anticipation of TESVI. It’s hilarious that people actually think this game has more substance than Skyrim. For the buggy mess that Skyrim actually was, this game is a shell in comparison.
...but ...but Skyrim was boring after you mastered it.
ESO is the better choice for me, because you can interact with people.
Ignoring the question of what having played Skyrim has to do with suffering fatigue, did you only read the title and ignore the original post? The OP specifically states "Imagine you've never played Skyrim". (my bold)
Well if you want to reinterpret the original post by taking words out of it then fine, but I tend to read what the OP says and then respond to that. However, if you're really that praising of Skyrim and that critical of ESO why are you even here? And please, don't pretend you're only here until a game that hasn't even been designed yet let alone begun development sees the light of day. Is there really nothing else you can do to entertain yourself than play a "joke of a game" for several years until something else comes along?

Skyrim just doesn't have enough content, especially compared to earlier Elder Scrolls single-player games.

In ESO I also get to interact with others, which is a giant + for me.
Got Skyrim a few weeks back for dirt cheap and gotta say, it don't live up to what I expected it feels super dated and combat is horrible, definitely not like I remembered.

Well it was released 6 years ago... it is still one of the best solo rpgs out there maybe not the best ES game. You can't really compare it to ESO as those games are completely different : one is a MMO, the other one is solo. But I would say ESO has definitely more flaws than skyrim.
