Can someone explain the appeal to these games to me?
I did play several hours of Skyrim with some mods last year but the combat felt clunky, the loot felt like a pain in the ass to manage, and there didn’t really seem to be a good story and the world felt a bit hollow.
I do realize their age, of course, and this is an unfair comparison but I had a much greater time with Elden ring and the Witcher 3. Both those games are so dense with vast beautiful worlds.

My Microsoft surface kept having my issues with my thunderbolt dock - screen flicker on occasion. Swap the dock, same problem. Get a new 3k Lenovo laptop, problem is gone except after some undefined amount of time my mouse and keyboard temporarily disconnect. Like for .5 seconds. Sometimes this causes my keys to repeat (“Hi, howwww are you doing” for example)
Both docks did not have this issue with the mac I was using for work lol.
Both laptops, when windows asks for my pin the pin window has no taskbar icon, it’s the default no icon image.
And this is just the tip of the iceberg. So many little glitches I’ve been dealing with.
Windows 11 can lick a twat.

My gaming PC from 2019 might be technically barely faster than this (2070S in it) but I’m still inclined to buy one.
What’s convinced me is my steam deck. I couldn’t be happier with a piece of hardware as this. And if this is just a more powerful non-handheld variant that does all the same shit, I’d be open to it for sure.
"New low, bundled price: Guild Wars Reforged brings Prophecies, Factions, and Nightfall together for just £17.99. If you have purchased even one of the three campaigns, all of them will be unlocked through Guild Wars Reforged. And, of course, there are still no subscription fees. "
What does this mean? I bought guildwars 1 forever ago. Does this mean I don’t have to pay for it?
I collected free games for sure. I don’t even know if I played many of them. Tbh most of them were older and would go on sale on steam and I’d just buy them there.
Also steams Linux support is so good, I just can’t do epic
