This opinion piece argues that Skyrim, the 2011 open-world RPG, deserves a television adaptation and could rival Game of Thrones as a landmark fantasy series. The writer notes that video games have become an increasingly popular source for TV adaptations, citing Fallout, The Last of Us and Arcane as evidence, but suggests Skyrim remains an underused property despite its enduring popularity and critical acclaim.

The piece highlights Skyrim's expansive world-building, its unique magic system, and its self-contained story set roughly 200 years after previous Elder Scrolls instalments, which it says would translate well to television. It also points to the game's rich lore, diverse races and an ongoing civil war across the continent of Tamriel as narrative elements that could sustain a compelling series, though no adaptation has yet been announced.
