Today is the fourteenth anniversary of Skyrim's initial release!

Do you still have your original character's save file, or did you finish their story completely at one point?

It is mind blowing that the official release plan for The Elder Scrolls 6 might be Todd Howard just saying the wait is over and the game is out right now at some point. We could even see Internet infrastructure struggle, not counting people calling out of work spontaneously.

In an interview with GQ, Todd Howard suggests that a TES6 shadowdrop is a possibility. He also mentions us elsewhere in it!

GQ: "You shadow-dropped Oblivion: Remastered in April. Could you actually do that with The Elder Scrolls 6?"

TH: "You might say that was a test run. It worked out well."

A constant intrusive thought: What do the magic fires at the College of Winterhold taste like?

"Yeah. Buy a goddamn book. It's a bookstore, ain't it? Don't just go peeking at them! Buy one! I'm Bugak gro-Bol, and I say you better buy a goddam book. And right away, dammit!"

Did You Know: Peryite is commonly depicted as a six-limbed dragon? This is odd, as dragons normally only appear to have four limbs. Notably, when Molag Bal captured and designed his own imitation of dragons, he also chose to give them six limbs.

Whenever you are afraid of the challenge of developing a skill or getting into a hobby, just remember Modryn Oreyn, a lifelong warrior who became the second-in-command of the Fighters Guild, was sincerely proud of how far along his painting skills were coming when he produced this.

"Don't even bother with that chapel! Nothing but faithless hypocrites in there. Back in my day, a silken shawl over a single breast was considered modest! Now? Feh. Wooden pews and sky-high collars. It's a disgrace!"

Did You Know: Bethesda used to supply hosting for UESP? They very kindly donated a network connection for the UESP from 1998 to around 2002 at the latest, when the UESP moved entirely to managing its own hosting.
November 5, 2025 at 1:11 AM
Today marks the 30th anniversary of the UESP! We have been doing this for three whole decades now.

We really don't know what else to say, since the club of sites that have been around that long is very, very small.

Thank you for letting us be your source for The Elder Scrolls since 1995.
