Skyrim: Special Edition on Xbox One doesn't make me jealous of PC players anymore. High-end rigs blast your senses in 4K resolution, and I was happy enough with what I have going on with my home console set up, but man, I wanted what those PC players had.

And the application of mods made Skyrim so incredibly much more vibrant and beautiful than Skyrim on a console. One of my main envies for PC Skyrim players was the ability to unlock their frame rates and resolution. But the interested went and invested hundreds of hours, some even thousands, on a world that looking back now I wonder how I could have ever thought that mind blowing when I now have the Special Edition. It became a game that definitely suffered from hype overdrive, which in itself can be a turn off for some, causing uninterested players to become even less interested. Realize your power as a mage through the Mage's College, learning spells and collecting ancient artifacts in the dozens of ancient mines and dungeons. If stealth is your thing, you can join the Dark Brotherhood of assassins, or the Thieves Guild who urge you to steal everything you can get your hands on in order to bring them back to their former glory. You can choose to follow your destiny as the Dragonborn, or join a guild (and invariably end up as their Guild Master). The main questline is generously fleshed out with side quests, some of which are just as memorable as the main quests. It became a widely parodied sentiment for a time, but even when you do see these cultural bits again today, backdropped by scenes from the game, you can't help but want to slip back into your Dark Brotherhood boots again. Remember "I used to be an adventurer like you, until I took an arrow to the knee"? Skyrim. Skyrim's fantasy RPG isn't just the claimer of many many hours of gameplay it's also the source of more than a few gaming memes - and the remaster will only spurn on that nostalgia. If you don't feel like playing the game as it directs you from the start, you can choose to go in the complete opposite direction and fulfill almost everything else the rest of the game has to offer first. The great thing about having an open world is that you're not confined to only following the main quest. The main questline is very generously fleshed out with side quests, some of which are just as memorable as those of the main quests. While you're questing to defeat Alduin, you'll also become involved in all matter of political and guild affairs. The open world contains many cities and smaller towns and villages, each with their own needs and styles, and stuffed with people ready to load you up with quests. In your quest to pummel dragons and stop the scourge that has returned since you ironically happened to be at the wrong place at the wrong time, you'll cross the vast wilder lands of Skyrim and adventure like you've never adventured before. The story is based around your character, The Dragonborn, who develops and strengthens the ability to absorb dragon souls. Skyrim is set in a land on the cusp of snow, inhabited by Nords, whose physiological aspects, cultural and religious overtones are influenced by our own Nordic lore and ancestry.

Skyrim is the fifth installment of the high fantasy Elder Scrolls series, developed and published by Bethesda.Įach game in the series is set in a part of the fictional world of Tamriel. When mods came to Fallout 4 and Skyrim still didn't come to backward compatibility, I knew the jig was up. After the bitter round of console wars focused on pixels and frame rates, console gamers were clamoring for an updated version of Skyrim. But they now had the capability to polish it into something that was more akin to their divine vision. That's not to say that they weren't pleased with Skyrim in the first instance - hardware limitations weren't a restriction back then. The decision to make Skyrim: Special Edition came down to two things:ĭevelopers were now able to push for a version of Skyrim that they'd always wanted to make.
