Skyrim

Dragon-filled northern province

Skyrim is a 2011 open-world fantasy video game, the fifth main installment in Bethesda's Elder Scrolls series.

Set in a Nordic-inspired province, players explore a vast landscape while fighting dragons and choosing sides in a civil war.

The game's massive popularity spawned countless memes, including the oft-quoted I used to be an adventurer like you, then I took an arrow in the knee.

Skyrim has been re-released on seemingly every platform, a running joke among gamers: They'll port Skyrim to a toaster next.
