Since 2011, "The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim" has captivated millions of players worldwide. The series, beginning in 1994 with "Arena," shaped the open-world genre with its vast game worlds, procedurally generated landscapes, day-night cycles, and a high degree of freedom in story and character creation. Modding allows for further personalization and the expansion of game mechanics. "Skyrim" has been remastered multiple times, sold over 60 million copies, and is a paradigmatic subject of game studies.
This volume contains 13 essays that explore narrative, game mechanics, and cultural aspects, illuminating agency, lore, reception, and historical references within the games. The "Elder Scrolls" series thus opens up a rich field of analysis, exemplarily bringing together interactivity, narrative, and cultural appropriation in digital games.
