Maybe it's kind of cheating to speculate on what Skyrim would've looked like a couple of decades ago, because... it would just look like the second Elder Scrolls game, Daggerfall, wouldn't it? Whatever, cheating or not, this image is awesome.

Using 3D models then turning them into 2D sprites was a common technique back in the early 90s, and this here goblin captures the look perfectly. The black fog that was used to cut down on CPU strain is also a neat touch, though this backdrop could've actually been grabbed from Daggerfall.

Also, is that left hand from Hexen?! Answers in the comments!
