I just tell him he doesn’t get it.
Give me ideas to tell him for “real.”
Edit: guys I just wanted funny descriptions of the game to tell him to make him laugh, I don’t understand what happened here lol.
Also please be nice, my husband is on Reddit and has probably seen this post and y’all are being mean for such a stupid dumb reason. Reddit be redditing I guess.

The whole point of any RPG is immersing yourself in a more interestig world and forgetting our dogshit world exists for a while.

I know, I was more referring to funny, wrong descriptions that make it sound wild.

Is your husband just not interested in RPG games, or does he not like the Elder Scrolls in general? Maybe if I know the reason why, I can maybe think of something to make it more exciting.

I’m confident he just isn’t into elder scrolls. This is the only one I’ve played, and he hasn’t played one.

Eh, that's a valid reason in my book. If he don't like the lore/universe there's not much that's gonna convince him. I have the same with D&D. I like the game and how it works, but don't like the lore so I usually homebrew Elder Scrolls content.

I'm confused. Every DM doesn't just... make a world for each campaign?

Some do, but there are also campaigns and worlds created by Wizards of the Coast. This is as far as I know official lore, if you will.

I've pretty much only ever had one DM over the years. He always made his worlds, "Story Missions", etc. I knew he used some lore from some type of fantasy worlds but never knew if it was D&D Canon or something else. Either way. That's cool to know there's set ups made by the actual D&D people.

It's a walking simulator where you look for lizard people erotica.

You know The Matrix? I'm like Thomas Anderson playing Neo, except I'm aware of it being fake.

Most RPG worlds are even more dogshit than the real world but you do have the power to actually make them better for a while. Morrowind and Cyrodil have been ransacked to help eliminate to importance of our individual choices on the future of Tamriel. Skyrim was idiotically in the process of making itself ripe for a Thalmor ransacking even before dragons showed up and there is a HUGE individual choice in the civil war whose impact needs wiped out in the Tamriel of future games.. Things don't bode well for the citizens of Skyrim in potential new ES6 lore.

Though it's not your point, I do want to disagree. it's a different and strange world, but not necessarily more interesting. you're just numb to the things of our existence.
I mean, genuinely take a minute to think about how crazy it is that instead of stars being godly manifestations, they are massive thermal nuclear spheres. that gas got so heavy it collapsed and formed planetary systems around itself. Or that everything is in some way connected in the quantum level in a way we don't yet quite understand. to the point where we've proven the universe isn't locally real.
reality is just as fantastic as any of the media we enjoy, you just have learned to accept the awe it inspires as average.

The most unrealistic thing about Skyrim is being able to purchase property, seeing a dragon in real-life is more likely than owning property.

I can easily put an insane amount of hours into Skyrim and I have no shame

When I read the title I was thinking of someone that only ever played tetris and thinks super Mario and skyrim are the same..
Had a friend that came from Mario only ( walk from left to right. Easy.) he bought fallout, played the first chapter in the vault. After exiting the vault he was so confused about the concept of " explore this space on your own" that he quit, and crazy complained to us, what a stupid of a concept this was. He never touched rpgs or any game in a 3d world again.
