History Teacher Explores Historical Accuracy Of Skyrim

Video game developers typically have some sort of time period in mind when they’re creating the look and feel of their world, a historical reference point which is easy to spot in the fantasy genre.

Fantasy is all about swords and sorcery, castles and dungeons, and kingdoms at war, so there has to be some historical truths behind our favorite fantasy games, right?

Destructoid community member and History Teacher RedHeadPeak asked himself this question with regards to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, and decided to explore the reality behind in-game elements such as wolves, weapons and armor, and the abundance of books you see everywhere.

It’s a fascinating read that may make you see things differently when you play your next fantasy RPG. Read RedHeadPeak's Skyrim analysis here

I love your name, Tarder Sauce, and I think you are just about the cutest cat I have seen in a long time! But I must be sure my cats don't see me write this, they may be jealous. I have watched your video multiple times just because you are so cute. I think most all of the people who have seen you also think you are gorgeous. I wish I had known you were going to be on TV, I would loved to have seen you. My cat Squeek is in my lap now, purring very loudly.The best of luck to you, I think you are going to be a STAR!!
