The Courier takes flight in a Skyrim playthrough via the unlikeliest of methods, as a dragon interrupts the conversation between him and the Dragonborn. Skyrim took the gaming world by storm when it launched 12 years ago, and has since established itself as one of the most successful RPGs of all time. Its thriving modding community saw unprecedented growth and brought Skyrim longevity beyond the timeless charm that the base game already possesses.
The open-world experience of Skyrim is the key component of its charm, as emergent gameplay – such as stumbling upon a cave or ruin, or fighting off a dragon attack – effectively makes every playthrough unique. NPCs in Skyrim can send assassins to kill the Dragonborn and settle a grievance committed against them, vampires and bandits can lurk ready to ambush on the road, and the Civil War rages on across the wilderness of Skyrim. Many mods have tried to enhance these features, but the foundation established by Bethesda in Skyrim plays a role in creating memorable player-driven moments.
A perfect example of one such moment happened to lukeylukesters, who shared a video clip of their playthrough on the main Skyrim subreddit. In it, the Courier is seen talking to the player in an attempt to hand them an inheritance letter, an event that can trigger when an NPC dies in Skyrim. However, just before entering a conversation, a dragon lands behind the Courier and is courteous enough to allow him to finish his dialogue with the Dragonborn. The clip ends with the Courier departing the scene in dramatic fashion, simply because he happened to be standing on the dragon's tail.
While many players find the Courier annoying, he plays a significant role in a long list of Skyrim quests. In addition to handing out inheritance letters and letters that point towards an undiscovered Word Wall, the Courier is there to make sure the Dragonborn is pointed in the right direction when it comes to important quests and features. For example, he can inform players of the Orphanage in Riften, which eventually opens up the path to adoption in Skyrim.
Ultimately, it remains to be seen if the Courier will also make an appearance in the sequel, as The Elder Scrolls 6 remains in active development. Though Bethesda has been frustratingly tight-lipped about the project ever since it debuted the announcement trailer six years ago, rumors point towards the sequel to Skyrim taking place in the province of Hammerfell. Despite its age, Skyrim continues to have a stable and thriving playerbase, as many of them patiently await further news about The Elder Scrolls 6.

Baldur's Gate 3 has revealed a first look at what players can expect from Patch #7, and the key additions happen to be improved evil endings, as well as the launch of the game's official modding tools. Despite releasing in a stacked year defined by several major titles, Baldur's Gate 3 made history by winning Game of the Year at every major awards show. It brought the isometric RPG genre to a mainstream audience, and succeeded in living up to the tremendous legacy of Baldur's Gate 2.
A fan of The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim managed to unlock the game's Platinum trophy on PS5 by killing Nazeem. Unlocking all the achievements and trophies in Bethesda's massive RPG Skyrim is no easy task.

Apparently, we've been missing out on a whole load of behind-the-scenes footage from the making of GTA 5, that the cast claim was all filmed but never actually used. Now, we just can't help but wonder what moments have been locked away, never to be released to the world.
Hot on the heels of the breakout success of The Last of Us and Fallout TV shows, many are wondering which video games would make a great pick for the next great series. Dragon Age is often suggested as a good candidate for the TV show treatment, but according to its co-creator, that would be a “terrible idea.”
Ubisoft's upcoming Star Wars Outlaws will lock an exclusive mission featuring Jabba the Hutt behind the Season Pass. While Star Wars fans were excited about the concept of an open world title set in A Galaxy Far Far Away, the latest information revealed for Outlaws has been controversial. Star Wars Outlaws takes place before Return of the Jedi, and places its players in the role of Kay Vess, an ambitious scoundrel and thief from Cantonica. However, despite being an entirely single-player experience, Ubisoft has designed Star Wars Outlaws as an always-online title, with a Season Pass that will offer players access to exclusive content.
Crawl out through the fallout, baby! I've watched two episodes of Amazon's recently released Fallout TV show, a series for and about Walton Goggins' rizz (a thing the kids say). I've been on the Goggins hype train for over a decade at this point, and it's great that - oh sorry, I'm being told that the Fallout TV show is in fact about Bethesda's post-nukepocalypse RPG series of video games, and as such has given a massive player bump to said video games on Steam.
A Skyrim player online has encountered an extremely strange glitch in-game, which has resulted in them having their life threatened by a slaughterfish. While Skyrim is known to have its share of bugs, this is one of the most bizarre seen so far.
With the Fallout live-action show now out and honestly far better than I was expecting, are Bethesda also brewing an adaptation of their other big RPG series, The Elder Scrolls? Not at present, according to Bethesda executive producer Todd Howard, and he says he'd "probably say no" if approached. Mind you, that was the stance he had until Fallout finally fell into place.
Bethesda Game Studios director and executive producer Todd Howard has addressed the chances of a TV show based on The Elder Scrolls following the success of Amazon‘s Fallout TV series.
Despite Amazon's Fallout adaptation getting a very positive reception so far, it doesn't seem likely that other Bethesda properties will be getting the same treatment. At least, not on Todd Howard's watch.
With the Fallout TV show on Amazon Prime Video getting rave reviews, the question on everyone's mind is whether Bethesda will try to replicate that magic with the Elder Scrolls franchise.
