Farewell, Skyrim

Yesterday, with minimal pomp and circumstance, Bethesda announced that there will be no more official expansions for Skyrim. Just like that, the era of the Dovahkiin drew to a close.


Skyrim Will Get No More DLC

The folks behind Skyrim say they’re off to the next adventure, which could very well mean there’s no more content planned for Bethesda’s massive role-playing game. UPDATE: Bethesda marketing VP confirms that there’s no more DLC coming to Skyrim.


The Drunken Dovahbear Of Skyrim Still Can’t Find Its Peace

After drinking too much honey mead, Skyrim‘s most ambitious bear has to rocket jump (with a dragon shout, obviously) through a mountain of enemies to earn his rest in the third part of the superb Dovahbear animation series by Bowz. The previous parts are awesome as well, and there’s even a mod out there based on this poor bear.


I Hope These People Don’t Think BioShock’s Indian Massacre Reference Is A Skyrim Joke

Bioshock Infinite released on March 26, 2013. If you look at the Google Search Trends from that point onward, you might notice something curious: people are looking up the search terms “Wounded Knee Massacre” a hell of a lot more than they did before Infinite’s launch.


The Elder Scrolls Online Isn’t Like Those MMOs You’re Used To

I’ll admit that I, too, thought The Elder Scrolls Online looked a hell of a lot like World of Warcraft and any other generic MMO when the first few promotional materials and screenshots were released. I was expecting the game to end up feeling a lot like WoW too.

This Skyrim Cosplay Will Make You Shout ‘Fus Ro Dah!’

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was one of the best games of 2011. 2011? It’s 2013! No matter, Skyrim lives on, thanks in part to its fancy outfits.


Video Games Have Become Obsessed With Bows And Arrows. Which Game’s Bow Is Best?

If you’ve been playing big-budget action video games over the last couple of years, you’ve probably noticed a few trends. The graphics have gotten better. The animations have become more lifelike. The explosions have gotten more explosive.


Skyrim’s Composer Is Kickstarting His New Album

Jeremy Soule, the composer of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, is a genius. Kotaku named his work in Skyrim one of the best game soundtracks of 2011, and with good reason; his ability to bring game worlds to life through his music and deeply immerse players into the adventure is truly remarkable. And now, he’s planning to move beyond video games.


Look, It’s A Mod That Makes Skyrim More Like Far Cry 3

How would this joke go? It’s like Far Cry 3 but with magic? It’s like Skyrim but with Skyrim? It’s like Skyrim with guns but without guns? Lord, I don’t even know.
