@Impossibilium Skyrim is a fantastic game, but the main quest is by far the weakest part of the experience-especially the end. I think getting caught up in side quests is probably the best way to play it!
I feel the same about New Vegas. I love Fallout, but every time I think about returning to that one I shy away………
I think I got extremely lucky playing Skyrim on PS3 when it released. I always hear so much about how buggy it was, but other than some occasional problems with pop in and textures, I don't recall encountering a single bug in my 100 hour playthrough.
On the other end of the spectrum, I had to stop my Fallout: New Vegas playthrough on PS3 because the bugs were constant. The one that finally broke me is the game would crash every time I did not go on the strip wearing a certain hat. And that hat could be destroyed in the game!. Yet, I know people who got through that game just fine.
Mr. Offerman is such a great actor, and I have a lot of respect for him. And people should live their lives the way they want to and need to. If video games are too addictive for him or anyone and they have the discipline to stop, then all power and blessings to them.
But I just want to be clear that video games are just like any other hobby. Any hobby can be completely addictive to the right person. And all hobbies are beautiful and useful when handled in moderation, and problematic when someone does them at the expense of their lives and responsibilities.
No lie: I have a family member who is completely, hopelessly addicted to books. You go to his house, and there are books stacked everywhere on every surface. You open the attic and they pour out. And for years he has neglected friends and family just to be alone and read. Books are wonderful-but It is not healthy for him.
I am only posting this because I feel like video games get a bad rap for being overly addictive and/or a non-productive waste of time. I think games are like any other hobby. Things that relieve stress or bring happiness during free hours (games, sports, art, tv, movies, books) are not a waste of time, and are a key part of a full life. But every single hobby can be abused-not just games. Gaming is not better or worse generally than any other hobby. But it is only games that are ever raised in this kind of conversation, which is strange.

Gaming bugs are weird.
