I’m a primarily PC gamer and I love being able to take a game and then make it my own world using mods. Skyrim’s active and robust modding platform is one of the reasons I keep coming back to this game. The new upgrades to the engine and the game allow players to add mods to their Xbox One and PS4 games, which was previously only available for computer players. It has also been released on multiple platforms including the system, such as the Nintendo Switch, Xbox One, and PS4. Since Skyrim’s first release the game has since been re-worked on a new engine and re-published under the name Skyrim Special Edition. The game was created as the next installment in the Elder Scrolls Series, a coveted single-player open-world role-playing adventure game series. Skyrim was developed and published by Bethesda and they’re in a house development team. My favorite quests include the Jabbawacky quest, Outside of the main quest, there are a variety of other storylines and side quests the complete including the coveted civil war storyline. The main quest focuses on the Dragonborn, a player-created character who is given a quest to defeat Alduin the World-Eater, a dragon who has been prothesized to eventually destroy the world. Destined to become the one known as Dragonborn, speaker of the Dragon’s tongue.

Having different developers means the general mechanics of the games are different and geared towards different audiences. However, these two games vary significantly because they were developed by two completely different studios. Both games were published by the same publisher Bethesda Softworks and they both take place within the Elder Scrolls World and uses the established lore for its stories and quests.

Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim and its semi-quasi rival game Elder Scrolls Online are two games that are often compared to each other.
