Skyrim is a such a behemoth of a game that, even if youāve sunk hundreds of hours into it over the years, thereās still a chance you havenāt seen everything it has to offerāmuch less get a glimpse of the gameās fascinating development.
Enter DYKGaming/Normal Boots with this great video full of Skyrim trivia, including:
How Bethesda turned down the chance to work on a Game of Thrones game to focus on Skyrim
What elements of previous Elder Scrolls titles the development team decided to expound upon or leave behind
How the gameās main theme was recorded in the gameās dragon language by a choir
How 8 people designed 150 dungeons
How a superfan who died of cancer made his way into the game
How Skyrimās best easter eggs are actually about other Elder Scrolls titles
What some of Skyrimās cut content isāand how you can access it on PC (including how you can kill children in the game. Apparently, it seems as if this āfeatureā was actually cut from the game).
How Marioās voiceactor also voices a dragon
How you can see a dragonās burning remains on the gameās world map
Some weird quirks about the Draugrās appearance
Somehow, the fact that the dungeons were designed by such a small number of people doesnāt surprise meāat some point, dungeons start feeling a little samey in the game. And itās fun to think about a Bethesda-developed Game of Thrones, no?
