It’s hard to believe that it happened more than a decade since the launch of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, one of the few video games along with GTA V that has managed to extend its life through three generations of consoles. Also, let’s remember that it has been even available in fridges. Microsoft took it upon themselves to make it happen.
Needless to say, we’ve all had plenty of time to explore its huge map and discover so many secrets. However, the user u/einfachnurchris from Reddit had a much less mysterious goalbut far from simple: increase all abilities to Level 100. He has achieved it after 11 years in legendary difficulty, in the PS5 version and without adding mods.
In case you don’t know, Skyrim has 18 independent skills that form one of the best progression systems ever made. Because? Bethesda Game Studios got it right by including a very intuitive and real progression method: each ability increases with use. If you want to improve in bow, magic or strength, you have to perform actions that have to do with each one.
This means that einfachnurchris has had to cast a good amount of hours and think certain strategies to expedite progress.

In many cases the secret lies in a repetition that can lead us to madness.
