A 2011 open-world role-playing game by Bethesda set in the snowy northern province of Tamriel where the player is a Dragonborn destined to fight returning dragons.
Origin
Directed by Todd Howard, Skyrim arrived five years after Oblivion and reworked the Elder Scrolls character system. Skills level through use, dragon shouts grant special abilities, and quests span guilds, civil war factions, and the main dragon plot.
Gameplay
The world is presented as a single seamless map filled with dungeons, towns, and procedurally generated radiant quests. Players craft equipment, marry NPCs, and choose factional loyalties.
Legacy
Skyrim has been re-released on every major platform of the last decade, sometimes joking that it never stays bought. With over 60 million copies sold, it is one of the most successful single-player RPGs of all time.
