Skyrim after 10 years: still king of role-playing games

Original text too short.

The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim is now ten years old. The developer Bethesda knows how popular the role-playing hit is still today. Why else does there be a new Skyrim version for every new console generation? The success is not undeserved. In this article I want to pursue the question of why Skyrim is still unbeaten for me.

Skyrim is immortal — despite many mistakes

On November 11, 2021, The Elder Scrolls celebrated 5: Skyrim his tenth birthday. As one of the best games of the year 2011, it can look back today on an impressive career. That it still has his status as a role-playing king today, it has to be owed to his faithful community.

The foundation stone for success has laid the developer Bethesda. Skyrim fascinates players until today, because the huge world offers more secrets than you can discover from a single person. Even veterans with over 1,000 hours of playing time are still surprised by the numerous random encounters.

My first score also had many unique Skyrim experiences. For example, the Parkas wanted to help me hunt a dragon. However, since I had already consumed the beast, I could not complete the quest and the grim warrior did not leave me from the side. For weeks, we fought Together Druggy, explored Deemed ruins and robbed innocent citizens. Through the bug, Skyrim forced me a co-op experience, which I would never have had him without him.

Skyrim: Community is the life skate

However, the fans also had to take over the painful task to fix some less funny bugs themselves. The community can not be discouraged and continues to develop on its own. Today it can be found on Steam and Nexus mods countless mods with which your Skyrim can turn into a completely new game. Are you looking for a better user interface, prewar graphic or mod that replaces the dragons by Thomas the locomotive? The community has thought of you and meets your wishes.

On Reddit, Skyrim can delight a million follower, which continue to exchange for every day over the ten-year-old game. Late newcomers receive valuable tips and veterans share their funny sky lop experiences. Also, on YouTube Skyrim continues to appeal. The Lets Player Growth started his run only this year. Due to the many mods Skyrim is hardly recognizable.

Other YouTuber concentrate more on the absurd pages of the game. The coming Brit reveals his spectators as they can exploit the many unpaired mechanics to become a magician with divine forces. Doug goes a step further and drives Skyrim to its limits by flying the world with cheese.

The Elder Scrolls 6 is still far away

The ongoing popularity of Skyrim can also explain that there is still no sign of life to the next entry of the The Elder Scrolls series. Since an announcement trailer in 2018, it has become quiet around the hot expected continuation.

So the fans remain no choice but to continue to play Skyrim. Great projects such as Sky wind or Oblivion is not enough. They build earlier offshoots in the series with the Engine of Skyrim and even exceed the original.

Bethesda has used the strengths of the role-playing game and provided the fans a sandbox in which they can let off steam today. With the Special Edition and every other version for new consoles, the developer has made it easy for new entrants to start their adventure in sky edge. Bethesda, however, should not forget that ultimately the fans are that Skyrim preserved to this day.

Even after 10 years, The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim still has a active community. Thanks to the fans and the many mods, the role-play is still a special experience that no one should omit.
