Skyrim is not a direct sequel to previous Elder Scrolls games, but during development it was considered a spiritual successor to Oblivion and 's Fallout 3. The team opted for a more unique and diverse game world than Oblivion's Cyrodiil, which game director and executive producer Todd Howard considered less interesting by comparison.
Skyrim premiered to critical acclaim, with reviewers particularly responding well to the refined character development system over previous Elder Scrolls entries. It is widely considered to be one of the greatest games of all time. Criticism was directed at the game's lack of initial polish and «robotic» melee combat.
The game shipped over seven million copies to retailers within the first week of its release, and sold over 20 million copies across all three platforms. Skyrim is set years after the events of Oblivion, though it is not a direct sequel. The game takes place in the land of Skyrim, a province of the Empire on the continent of Tamriel, amid a civil war between two factions.
Their goal is an independent Skyrim free from Imperial interference. The Imperial Legion, the military of the Empire, opposes the Stormcloaks and seek to reunite and pacify the province. General Tullius leads the Imperial forces in Skyrim. The story begins with the imprisoned player being led to an Imperial execution in the town of Helgen, alongside several Stormcloak soldiers and their leader, Ulfric Stormcloak.
A Dragon unexpectedly interrupts the procession, attacking and destroying the town. The player escapes and journeys to the nearby town of Riverwood, whose residents are now fearful that the Dragon could strike their town as well at any moment. Riverwood also serves as a tutorial village in that the player can forge items, trade goods, practice alchemy, and receive miscellaneous quests.
The player is asked to make their way to the city of Whiterun, to request aid from the city's Jarl—the game's equivalent of a lord—against the Dragon threat. The Jarl, Balgruuf the Greater, accepts. He also directs the player to his court wizard, who asks the player to retrieve the Dragonstone, an ancient artifact that shows the location of ancient Dragon burial sites.
The player returns to Whiterun with the Dragonstone, only to learn that another Dragon has appeared near the city. After slaying the Dragon with assistance from the city's guards, the player unexpectedly absorbs the Dragon's soul which grants them the ability to perform a magical ability called a «Thu'um», or Dragon Shout. The city's guards are astonished, and inform the player that they must be a Dragonborn, a mortal with the soul of a Dragon. After returning to the Jarl with news of the Dragon's defeat, the player is summoned to meet with the Greybeards, an order of monks who live in seclusion in their temple of High Hrothgar on the slopes of Skyrim's tallest mountain, the Throat of the World.
The Greybeards further train the player in the «Way of the Voice», teaching the player more powerful Thu'ums shouts and instructing the player on their destiny and role of the Dragonborn. The player learns that Skyrim's civil war is the last in a sequence of prophetic events foretold by the Elder Scrolls, which also predicted the return of Alduin, the Nordic god of destruction. Alduin is prophesied to destroy the races of Men and Mer, and consume the world.
The player character is the latest «Dovahkiin», a Dragonborn, an individual with the body of a mortal and the soul of a Dragon. Dovahkiin are anointed by the gods to help fend off the threat Alduin and other Dragons pose to Skyrim and Tamriel. The Greybeards task the player with retrieving the legendary Horn of Jurgen Windcaller in the marshes of Hjaalmarch as a final test.
However, the player discovers the Horn has been stolen, and the culprit wishes to meet with the Dragonborn. In the filing submitted, Zenimax referred to a project called 'Dawnguard' that was specifically referred to as 'computer game software for use with computers and video game consoles' and 'downloadable computer game software offered via the internet and wireless devices. The filing doesn't link the project to any specific franchise, but given Bethesda's recent ideas about Skyrim DLC and the specific mention of both consoles and PC, a connection to that series is certainly possible.
In the past, director Todd Howard commented that Skyrim DLC releases 'don't have a timetable' and that 'they'll have a lot of meat on them.
