Skyrim is still a superb game, but some elements have not aged well, while others can no longer be as easily overlooked as they were back in the day. So, with this in mind, can Skyrim still be relevant today? Yes it can, but not to the same degree. But now we are in 2016, post Dragon Age: Inquisition, Divinity: Original Sin, The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt, Dark Souls, and other high-quality RPGs (including Bethesda's own Fallout 4). Skyrim is a fantastic game, and when it came out in 2011, it was rightfully claimed as one of the best ever made. You can marry and adopt children, or you can join a league of assassins. You can be a werewolf, a vampire or a vampire hunter.
You can be a noble mage or a thief with a penchant for poisoning.
For many, this is still Bethesda's greatest masterpiece, a fantasy RPG where almost anything is possible. Few games have grabbed us for as many hours as The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
