The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: Special Edition

Two hundred years after the events described in Oblivion, the continent of Tamriel is in turmoil. The Emperor's throne remained without heir; the Blades, Empire's elite guards, have been disassembled; elven nations began capturing territory from the Empire. The assassination of the King of Skyrim, Tamriel's Northern-most province and home of the Nord race, led to a civil war between those who wish independence for Skyrim and those who wanted it to remain under the Empire's control.

Like its predecessors in the Elder Scrolls series, Skyrim is an open-ended role-playing game with action-based combat. The player may explore the vast environments of Skyrim from either first- (default) or third-person perspective, being unrestricted in his or her travels and free to undertake any side quests in any order, or follow the main quest. It is possible to fast-travel to previously visited locations directly from the world map. The player can also opt to buy (or steal) and ride a horse.

The Special Edition is a reworked version of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It includes the main game as well as the add-ons (Dawnguard, Dragonborn and Hearthfire), updated graphics, and mod support for the console versions. These mods allow for new quests, environments, characters, dialogue, armor, weapons and more.
