With Skyrim very nearly in our hot little hands, and the television adaptation A Game of Thrones doing ridiculous things for the success of the novels, we can't help but hope that Bethesda has an opportunity to revisit the proposal. They thought it would be a good match-and so did we, actually-but then we thought about if that was where we wanted to spend our time. Before we were even making Skyrim, there was a conversation with George R.R. That’s where we wanted to put out time into.
"People in our studio liked it, and it seeped in a bit to what we were doing."īut there was one problem - the soon-to-be created Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. It has been pointed out before how Skyrim has a Game of Thrones vibe, and according to Bethesda’s executive. Martin, the creator of the Game of Thrones universe, about adapting A Song of Ice and Fire into a game, before Skyrim was made, or Game of Thrones came to HBO.
"With A Song of Ice and Fire, we went ‘We want to do that!’," says Howard. Apparently, Bethesda, the makers of Skyrim, were in talks with George R. Now, Todd Howard from Bethesda Softworks has revealed that his company actually turned down the opportunity to turn the Game of Thrones series into a video game - and it's all Skyrim's fault.Ī story in the upcoming EGMi: The Digital Magazine reveals that Bethesda was approached to make the official games based on the novels years ago - and the company, all "big fans" of the franchise - were thisclose to taking up the challenge. Martin's best-selling A Song of Fire and Ice is coming to our gaming fingertips real soon now, some gamers are a little surprised that the fantasy series has been translated into - of all things - an RTS, and not, say. Sorry folks, but total conversions are frequently PC-only territory.George R. Sadly, you won't be finding any of these on PS4, and most won't be available to Xbox One due to console mod restrictions. There are a handful that you can lose yourself in right now, however, giving your favorite Skyrim character whole new worlds to explore. The biggest of these radically change the game to such a degree that they qualify as total conversions - a mythical status of mods that has given the gaming community such gems as DotA, Counter-Strike, Day Z, and Garry's Mod in the past.Ĭurrently, most of the Skyrim total conversion mod projects aren't actually finished, or even in a state worth downloading yet. Honestly, there's no need to really ever leave the frozen Skyrim expanse, though, as hundreds of thousands of mods out there can keep you coming back for years to come. With all the focus on re-releases, MMOs, and card games in The Elder Scrolls universe lately, it seems like a long wait is ahead before we get a true single-player sequel to Skyrim.
