A Skyrim player inexplicably runs into a Whiterun Guard on the island of Solstheim, a place far beyond Whiterun’s jurisdiction. It has been over 12 years since Skyrim was released, and in the time since, it has proven to be the purest expression of what a Bethesda sandbox aspires to be. The Legendary Edition, Special Edition, and Anniversary Edition have all contributed to making Skyrim a polished experience for both Bethesda veterans and newcomers to The Elder Scrolls. However, there is an argument to be made that the quirks of the Creation Kit as an engine greatly add to Skyrim‘s charm and appeal.
