9 Reasons Skyrim Is Still One Of The Best Video Games Of All Time
4. Quest Design Ensures You'll Eventually See Everything
Here's a cool thing you may not know about how Skyrim is coded - it actually procedurally generates quests based on where you have or haven't been. Named the 'Radiant' system, chances are you've experienced it in action, yet didn't know it.
See, whenever a random NPC pops up and says something about how they "Need a hand", want you to follow them or visit a point on the map in any capacity, the game is pulling this destination from somewhere you're yet to see.
It's a supremely neat and subtle way of ensuring you (eventually) see everything the game has to offer, and being Skyrim's frost-covered world is one of the greatest in the medium, provides ample reason to just explore - as the game will catch up and hint at where to go anyway.
