'''''The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim''''' is the fifth entry into ''[[The Elder Scrolls]]'' main series, released on November 11, 2011 across multiple platforms. It takes place 200 years after [[The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion|the events of the fourth game]] in the northernmost part of the continent, home to the [[Horny Vikings|Nords]], as [[Planet Eater|Alduin the World Eater]] is returning. The people of Skyrim are locked in a bitter civil war between those who support remaining within the Empire of Tamriel and those who wish for independence, united under the leadership of Ulfric Stormcloak. Into this enters what may be the last Dragonborn, a person born with the soul of a dragon, who has the ability to kill the dragons and absorb their souls. Under the guidance of Esbern, one of the last Blades, the Dragonborn must oppose Alduin and defeat him, lest [[The End of the World as We Know It|he destroy the world.]].
 
The game runs on a heavily modified Gamebryo engine called the ''Creation'' engine, complete with all the [[Good Bad Bugs]] that Bethesda fans have come to know and love. The soundtrack is once again provided by [[Jeremy Soule]]. ''Skyrim'' is also innovative in that it has an integrated way to browse and upload mods, which can be downloaded automatically via [[Steam]], something that has never been attempted on this scale before.
 
The first DLC for ''Skyrim'', ''Dawnguard'', came out for the Xbox 360 in the summer of 2012. The trailer can be found [http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PjBSicSVqI here.]. Subsequent DLC called ''Hearthfires'' and ''Dragonborn'' were also released, and all three were ported to all
known versions of ''Skyrim'' for Playstation 3 and PC, with the PC version gaining a free High Resolution graphics DLC for download.
 
At the end of of October 2016, ''Skyrim Special Editon'' was released on all currently generation game platforms as well as Steam, free for those who owned ''Skyrim'' and all prior paid expansions, having backported versions of various enhanced features from ''[[Fallout 4]]'' as well as integrating all previous DLC into a remastered version of the original game (as a separate install even for prior owners of the original version due to massive changes in the file layout).
