The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, the fifth game in the Elder Scrolls series, takes place in the province of Skyrim 200 years after the Oblivion Crisis. Dragon Shouts play an integral role in the story as you discover your fate as the Last Dragonborn. Skyrim is available on PC, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and Nintendo Switch.

Skyrim Special Edition is a remastered version of the game for PC, Xbox One, and PlayStation 4. It uses an upgraded engine with many visual improvements but also has several important technical differences from the classic version of the game. A virtual reality version, Skyrim VR, is available on PlayStation VR and as a standalone game on PC.

The ancient home of the Nords, Skyrim, teeters at the brink of destruction. With the death of High King Torygg, a civil war breaks out, with brothers slaying brothers across the province's frozen tundras and rocky crags. Many, especially Nords, wish to secede from the Empire, which has been in decline since the Oblivion Crisis. Many loyalists, on the other hand, prefer the unity and security provided by the Empire.

The Elder Scrolls foretell the return of Tamriel's primeval darkness, the Dragons, and the coming of a mortal born with the soul of a dragon, the Dovahkiin or 'Dragonborn'—one who will have the power to permanently defeat his greatest foe and end the dark reign of the consumer of worlds: Alduin.

Your journey will be beset with peril. Just as remnants of the kingdom's shadow guardians, the Blades, will offer their aid, crafty agents of the Thalmor, seeking to advance their own cause, will impede your quest. Acquire knowledge and prove yourself Dragonborn, and the revered Greybeards will grant you an audience to learn of their ancient Draconic arts. Robot meme voice generator.

Now great adventurer, free yourself from bondage; take up blade or spell, bow or axe; fulfill your destiny or postpone it indefinitely.

Collector's Editions[edit | edit source]

Features[edit | edit source]

  • Acrobatics and Athletics skills have been removed from Skyrim, instead there is a sprint button.
  • Boats are scenery items only and cannot be operated. Most can be boarded, and one is used to reach Japhet's Folly, but the travel is done offscreen.
  • Mounts include horses.
  • Dragons cannot be mounted even if mounts make it into the game (one dragon, Odahviing, is mounted but only once, to reach Skuldafn and there is no cutscene, just a cut). Dragons think on their own so they attack dynamically based on how the player reacts. They cannot fly if severely injured. There are unlimited dragons.
  • Kill dragons, absorb their essence, and then learn dragon shouts on word walls (stone slabs) located in deep caverns. Use the dragon shouts to perform special abilities such as slow time or just shout a force-wave at your opponent.
  • The Skyrim map is roughly the same size as Oblivion.
  • 120+ dungeons..
  • 6 to 8 different environment types. No seasons but there is a weather system. 'As far as variation of environments, the one you saw was like our pine forest and our mountains. We have a big grassy tundra, we have a fall forest, we have a volcanic tundra, we have a big glacial area to the north, it's really icy.'
  • 5 major cities and 7 to 9 small towns.
  • Players may be able to affect the economies of the cities. 'We have mines and smelters for iron that affects weapons, then we have farms that affect food and ingredients that affect alchemy. We have all that working but we haven't found the gameplay sweet spot.'
  • 'In Oblivion you have your eight attributes and 21 skills. Now you have 18 skills and three attributes.'
  • The map is 3D, but you can't make notes on it.
  • Some dragons are friendly, at least to the point of holding conversations with the player.
  • Some level of economic simulation is in, with the prices of goods reflecting the state of the world.
  • Blowing wind will whip up the surface of bodies of water.
  • Lockpicking: still a minigame.
  • Players can buy houses again.
  • Children will appear in some form in-game.
  • 60,000 lines of recorded dialog.
  • Guards will not be omnipotent and not know exactly where you are. Instead, they'll behave more realistically and guards in another area won't know about your crimes.
  • 13 types of ore for crafting.
  • Ability to take a carriage from one city to another without having explored it first.
