I have this weird thing where I need to complete a game's story before I can move on to a new one. I played through Skyrim for the first time on the Switch and was left feeling a sense of incompleteness when, upon completing the main story, there was no credit crawl or sense of conclusion. I'd never played a game that never ended before and now felt captive to it. Until, today, I decided to end playing this game by creating my own ending, in the fashion of Skyrim, essentially creating your own character and their story. I bought a house, adopted a couple kids, got married and then hung up my weapons. As I did so, I imagined my character reflecting on everything he's been through: traveling the world, slaying Alduin as dragonborn, fought for the Stormcloaks in the civil war, studied at the college of magic and carried on the whims of a demon, became a Nightingale and leader of the Thieves Guild, and many other quests. I'd have to say, after everything (and finishing all the quests that peeked my interest) I can't think up a better ending to my character's life than to just sit back, relax, and enjoy family life for a bit. Now I can finally play another game! Just in time for Kirby too!

Games like this are about immersion not about feeling like you're just playing another game.

Honestly the story isn't anything amazing in Skyrim it's the sense of feeling like you're really in another world and just getting lost in it.

I'm so glad BotW took this approach and improved on it

I had the same feelings of incompleteness with Zelda. I ended “my story” with Link hanging his shields and weapons and retiring from being a hero, and celebrating his first day without heavy armor weighing him down. I was able to capture the moment:
