  • Before making a single edit, Tropedia EXPECTS our site policy and manual of style to be followed. Failure to do so may result in deletion of contributions and blocks of users who refuse to learn to do so. Our policies can be reviewed here.
  • All images MUST now have proper attribution, those who neglect to assign at least the "fair use" licensing to an image may have it deleted. All new pages should use the preloadable templates feature on the edit page to add the appropriate basic page markup. Pages that don't do this will be subject to deletion, with or without explanation.
  • All new trope pages will be made with the "Trope Workshop" found on the "Troper Tools" menu and worked on until they have at least three examples. The Trope workshop specific templates can then be removed and it will be regarded as a regular trope page after being moved to the Main namespace. THIS SHOULD BE WORKING NOW, REPORT ANY ISSUES TO SelfCloak. DON'T MAKE PAGES MANUALLY UNLESS A TEMPLATE IS BROKEN, AND REPORT IT THAT IS THE CASE. PAGES WILL BE DELETED OTHERWISE IF THEY ARE MISSING BASIC MARKUP.

The Elder Scrolls V Skyrim Anniversary Edition Cover Art
Cquote1

The Elder Scrolls told of their return.
Their defeat was merely a delay 'til the time after Oblivion opened, when the sons of Skyrim would spill their own blood.
But no one wanted to believe... Believe they even existed. And when the truth finally dawns... It dawns in fire!
But there's one they fear. In their tongue, he is "Dovahkiin": Dragonborn!

Esbern, Narration of the teaser trailer.

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 events of the fourth game in the northernmost part of the continent, home to the Nords, as 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 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 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).

Tropes used in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim include:
