Enter you, the title character, known as the Dragonborn, who can play either as a warrior, archer, wizard, or combination of all three of them, across multiple races, ranging from human to elf, and even anthropomorphic cat. Skyrim is part of the Empire, a collection of seven provinces, each populated by an ethnically diverse and culturally rich set of inhabitants, and is currently in the throes of a civil war between the Nord natives and the Empire, who rule from neighbouring Cyrodiil, the Imperial Province. Set on the fictional continent of Tamriel, the province of Skyrim is home to the Nords, a civilisation based on the Vikings - with everything from long, blonde hair to faux-Swedish accents - whose snowy homeland (think Winterfell, but with more mountains) makes them a hardy and resilient race. But in the five years since the game has been released, gaming graphics have made a huge leap forward, and producer, Bethesda’s, complete overhaul of the game’s visuals have ensured Skyrim will continue to stay near the top of the gaming pile. It's a bit outdated at this point and I don't really have the time to keep it up to date but nevertheless it's a great source for NPC overhauls you might not have heard of.Skyrim is one of the world’s best role-playing games, and remains overwhelmingly popular the world over.
