Despite its immense popularity — and the fact that it’s been ported to every platform imaginable — there are still some who haven’t played it.
Whether you’re diving in for the first time or coming back for another journey, there are still plenty of reasons to play this all-time classic RPG.

Though its most annoying bugs have been patched out, it still retains some of the original wonkiness that’s a hallmark of Elder Scrolls games.
Skyrim gets even weirder with the addition of mods, which are now available on console.
Modders have added new spells, companions, quests, and entire storylines, bringing endless variety to an already massive game.
Elder Scrolls VI is still just a dot on the horizon, but there’s enough to do in Skyrim that you could still be playing when the sequel comes out if you start now.
