Because Skyrim's dragons and dead guys were never quite tough enough, the game is now adding something more dangerous: weather and hunger.

Every year at Dragon Con, there are some Christian protesters hanging around angry that everyone is loving nerd shit instead of Jesus. And almost every year, Heimskr from Skyrim is there to join them in their preaching.

It's clear that Bethesda is going to squeeze every last dollar it can out of Skyrim. A bunch of those will come from the VR port of the open-world RPG, which we haven't seen much of since E3 earlier this year. This weekend's Quakecon was Bethesda chance to demo a build and dispel some of the cynicism surrounding it. Unfortunately, reports suggest it failed. Hard.

Social NPCs is a mod for Skyrim that takes the clockwork non-playable characters from two of the game's smaller locations and turns them into believable people with lives to lead completely independent of what you're up to.

When a company like Bethesda is trying to debug a massive game like Skyrim, where do they even start? Skyrim lead programmer Brett Douville tackled that question (and much more) on this week's episode of Kotaku Splitscreen.

Using over 260 individual mods, from faces to outfits, UpIsNotJump has managed to recreate the entire original trailer to Game of Thrones using Skyrim.

The whole point of Skyrim's special edition was to improve the game's visuals, but just because Bethesda did it officially doesn't mean folks aren't out there trying to make things look even better.

Cosmic Contrarian, the man behind countless ridiculous custom Fallout 4 battles, tells us that this epic encounter between 100 dragons and 1000 archers would have been impossible to stage in the original release of Skyrim, especially at 4K resolution.

The remastered version of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim has gone gold in advance of its October 28 release, and Bethesda has released the recommended PC specs for running the prettier version of the 2011 RPG.

Way back in 2013, I wrote about a mod called Enderal, a very ambitious attempt at creating an all-new game out of Skyrim's bones, with a new map, new buildings, new characters, the works. Shockingly, considering the way most of these things usually go, it's actually finished!

Time flies. Skyrim has been out for nearly five years, giving its mod scene time to grow and change and then change again. It's a culture unto itself, one that's weathered identity crises and that whole money fiasco. So, all these years later, where does it stand?

iriarsham posted these screenshots over the weekend, to remind us all that despite its advancing years and creaking engine, Skyrim -- with help from fans -- continues to look absolutely stunning.

Dayshot: Skywind, part of the Elder Scrolls Renewal project, aims to recreate Morrowind in Skyrim's engine. It has been in development since 2012 and probably won't be ready for a while. To help cope with that fact, I look at the team's progress videos as mere instances of 3D Morrowind fan art. So let's look at some fan art!

Daedra Hearts aren't just for gold and health potions anymore.

johnskyrim is a modder who likes to bring over stuff from other games, like World of Warcraft and Runescape, to -- you guessed it -- TES V: Skyrim. This is his latest project: Quel'Delar, Might of the Faithful, a reward from WoW's "Return of Quel'Delar" quest chain. You can grab the mod here on the Nexus and here on Steam.

I would very much like to play this version of Skyrim. Modder UniqueUses has been playing around with Bethesda's last Elder Scrolls game, and while I've seen plenty of visual mods for Skyrim, this is something else. They recently uploaded a series of work-in-progress screen shots to Imgur for what they're calling "Toon Skyrim".

Serious question. I mean, this recreation of Half-Moon Mill is something I should be able to click on and have in my house, not simply admire from afar.

We've all been there. You pick up your keys, pick up your jacket, grab your bag and suddenly you're over-encumbered.

So awpluke and some friends thought they'd spice their D&D game up by replacing a table with a flipped-over 50" TV. Then putting Skyrim on that TV.
