Without putting too much emphasis on it, Skyrim is an epic game, using the word in its truest form. With its convoluted storyline, massive landscapes and Norse-esque lore, it's a game that has so much to explore and so much complex back story to uncover. Also dragons. Fighting dragons is completely badass and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Combined with everything it has to offer, Skyrim is one of the most metal games to be released. Heroic battles are rampant throughout and mead and meat are served in local taverns by buxom wenches. In fact it's so epic, it's surprising Christopher Lee hasn't released an album as the sound track to it. You could literally play any part of this game along with your favourite heavy metal CD and it would fit perfectly. We here at WhatCulture have gone a bit further and found ten concept images from the game that could easily work as an album cover.
10. The Ruins Of St. Cold-As-Balls
There is nothing more frostbitten and majestic than standing on the brow of the world, staring into long-forgotten ruins as hungry wolves pursue you. Look at him there. Look at that tiny badass staring directly into the yawning maw of somewhere that no mortal should ever explore. Up here he is the loneliest man in the world with nothing but enemies to keep him company. With sword drawn and shield up, he has journeyed too far across threatening terrain to let a pack of mangy dogs stop him. Onward, mighty warrior!
