The last time we spoke to Nick Pearce, he was flying on a high: The Forgotten City, a mod that he’d spent more than 1700 hours building, had just won an Australian Writers’ Guild award. It was the first national screenwriting award given to a video game, a staggering accomplishment given it was a mod borne entirely…

Staff Writer Heather Alexandra (that’s me!) is starting up a playthrough of Skyrim live on Twitch. I’m exploring it to take a closer look at what works and what doesn’t. Join me in chat for adventures and glitches.

Skyrim offers one of the most beautiful worlds in video games. The game’s Switch version adds some minor changes and lets you carry that world in your purse.

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim came out in 2011. It has been officially released on a bunch of platforms, which is probably where you’ve played it at least once over the last six years.
