However, in this case, it’s fairly superficial. There’s nothing objectively wrong with this story it’s a traditional fantasy story, one that’s been done well for centuries.

Skyrim has a fairly classic storyline: a mysterious hero emerges from obscurity, and is shown to be a Chosen One, fated to banish evil from the land of Skyrim, which he/she does promptly. While many of the basic concepts are similar, there are many differences that I feel can prove my point. Comparisons between the two are fairly easy to draw: both are set in a high fantasy world both are packed full of various monsters both have great characters. However, I have recently played a game that, in my opinion, does almost everything better, and that game is The Witcher 2: Assassins of Kings. You can go anywhere, do anything, and then do it in a different manner. It’s a game that was masterfully created, glitches put aside for the moment. It has reached such heights of notoriety that you’d be hard pressed to find someone who doesn’t have their own “arrow to the knee” joke, regardless of how painful it is to listen to. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is a modern-day video game legend.
