10 Amazing Games Nobody Managed To Complete

3. Skyrim

BethesdaBethesdaYou never completed: Skyrim to 100%. Sure you can say you've put literally hundreds of hours into the Smithing aspects of the game, hand-crafted your own Daedric Armour, gallivanted far and wide across the expansive Tamriel plains and slain everything from a handful of Rieklings to a village-sized Dragon, but is that really completing the game? Well, obsessive-compulsives prepare to bust out in a rash, because no it isn't. Instead, as some of you may know from watching or reading about our the Replayable Games feature, Skyrim has a fantastic inbuilt feature to randomly generate missions for you to complete, regardless of how much you've already done, seen or interacted with. Remember the first time you had a random haggered-looking individual run up to you declaring they needed your help, only to run off towards some newly-discovered tower or keep - and get ambushed? That's what we're talking about, and it's only the tip of the iceberg when it comes to being able to say you've seen everything Skyrim has to offer. It's a weird one to track because there's no overarching 100% achievement to unlock, instead due to the size of the game the elements tracked relate more to specific main missions than any of the hundreds of things you'll come across along the way. The lowest stats currently available are DLC-centric - being 4.53% for taming and riding five dragons, and 4.51% for building three houses - but hilariously only 94.84% finished the opening tutorial mission, begging the question of exactly what experience did that other 5.16% of people have with the game to be put off that soon?
