The case for each
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim: Bethesda's 2011 fantasy world: the Dragonborn in a cold northern province, dragons returning, a civil war and hundreds of hours of quests. Its mods keep it played more than a decade later.
Fallout 4: Bethesda's 2015 nuclear wasteland around Boston: a parent searching for a kidnapped son, with power armor, crafting and settlement building. The 2024 Amazon series sent it back to the top of the sales charts.
