Since Skyrim, multiple games and developers have admitted to using its philosophy as the blueprint for their games- Square Enix with Final Fantasy, Capcom with Dragon’s Dogma, Bioware and EA with Dragon Age Inquisition, Nintendo with The Legend of Zelda, and yes, CD Projekt RED with the upcoming Witcher 3: Wild Hunt. Selling 20 million copies, the game demonstrated that there was, in fact, a market for role playing games in the mainstream, and similar to Call of Duty, forever changed the face of the genre in its wake. Love it or hate it, Bethesda’s seminal The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim completely changed the landscape of the games industry forever when it launched back in 2011.
