The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is a 2011 action role-playing game developed by Bethesda Game Studios and published by Bethesda Softworks. It is the fifth main installment in The Elder Scrolls series, following The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (2006), and was released worldwide for Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 on November 11, 2011. Skyrim was developed using the Creation Engine. The team opted for a unique and more diverse open world than Oblivion's Imperial Province of Cyrodiil, which game director and executive producer Todd Howard considered less interesting by comparison.
Runs well on modern hardware.

A classic Example of "they don't make em like they used to" Genuinely one of the best games of its time.
Dude, ♥♥♥♥ Skyrim SE. I'm sorry, but playing "Oldrim" is truly the way to go. RIght now I am playing completely vanilla, no bug fixes, nothing. The bugs are amusing and funny and truly, minimal. The most important part of playing this way after alllll these years is getting to re-experience the original and intended art direction. This is the game that became so famous and beloved. These devs spent ages getting the style just the way they wanted, the clolours, everything. I remember when SE came out and just thinking, "well that just doesn't even look like the same game!" There really isn't anything wrong with SE, but it's just not the original vision, and I as a distinguished fan and player, want that experience now more than ever in a world of Unreal Engine 5, which, nowadays, feels almost AI-like and nearly uncanny valley. Flaws and all, this is a real ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ game, and ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ do I appreciate it now more than ever!
Man it must suck when Bethesda updates the game and breaks all the mods for it. I wouldn't know because I read the reviews for the Special Edition and know better.
