Once again, the console versions of Skyrim are all completely functional, and the Nintendo Switch version is no exception. For an open-world RPG that encourages you to explore and experience everything you can, the worst kind of issue you can have is actively punish players for putting in hundreds of hours of play.

Overall, this is not a terrible way to experience Bethesda's acclaimed fantasy RPG. This is coming from someone whose first experience of the game was on this platform. Getting into the original 2011 console releases now, it is pretty obvious that the PlayStation 3 version of Skyrim the weakest.
Pretty sure the gods aren't going to help with the problems this version has.
