10 Video Games To Play If You Love Game Of Thrones
5. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
If you have ever wanted an open world role playing game to explore the lands of Westeros, then look no further than The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The similarities between the video game and Game of Thrones are almost uncanny, despite the game being released in the same year. It’s probably fair to say the developers are huge fans of the books, and lifted a great deal of inspiration from George R.R Martin’s series, because even the costume and armor designs are nearly a perfect match.
The Undead Draugr share a lot in common the White Walkers, even down to their glowing blue eyes. Ulfric, the leader of the Stormcloaks, not only has many of Ned Starks personality traits but they look like they could be the same character.
Additionally, let’s not forget that the game features the return of the dragons, and your character is known as the Dragonborn, a warrior with the body of a mortal and the soul of a dragon. There are a lot more parallels in Skyrim in relation to GoT than are mentioned here, which lead many to believe the developers at Bethesda are clearly fans.
