RPG veteran Josh Sawyer says Skyrim is the perfect example of why it doesn't matter if players finish games because "a lot of people never finish the crit path," but "they love it"

Skyrim.

There's often quite a big difference between the number of people who start a game versus the amount who actually finish it, but RPG veteran Josh Sawyer says that doesn't matter – what does is making sure they're satisfied with whatever they do play, and Bethesda's timeless RPG Skyrim is a great example of that.

In a new video on his YouTube channel (below), Sawyer –  the director of Fallout: New Vegas and the Pillars of Eternity games – responds to a question from a viewer asking if stats showing a proportionately low number of people actually finishing games has an impact on his approach to game development. To this, Sawyer says: "We want the player to play the game and, whatever amount that they play, we want them to come away and say, 'I'm glad I bought the game. I enjoyed it.'"
