Probably the most frequently requested game when it comes to co-operative multiplayer, we can't think of an RPG more suited to co-op questing than Skyrim. Considering the fact that most players have an NPC companion with them most of the time anyway, Skyrim had everything in place to be the ultimate game to play with friends. With the trap-filled dungeons, epic battle scenes and tense dragon fights, we can't think of a single aspect of Skyrim that wouldn't have been improved with a friend along the way. This year saw the release of The Elder Scrolls Online, but its clunky combat and linear questing just didn't quite scratch our multiplayer-Skyrim itch. There is an ongoing mod that aims to bring co-op to Skyrim, but it's still unfinished and unrefined even at this late stage. If you want to live out your dreams of playing Skyrim with a friend, you might have to just get chummy with Lydia. After all, she's sworn to carry you burdens.
