PLEASE NOTE: HERE BE SPOILERS! If you have visited this blog before, thanks and welcome back! These posts are of particular use to those readers less familiar with Skyrim (or video games in general). These posts include a short introduction to this project, a content-specific author bio, and a few other pieces that explain key concepts relevant to this study. If you have not visited this blog before, it might be helpful to read the posts labeled " Orientation," most of which are the first few entries in the blog archive (see right).
Please note that the purpose of this blog is to discuss morality within the context of the game, not to determine whether playing the game is immoral in and of itself the latter type of "discussion" tends toward tedium and inhibits, rather than promotes, a meaningful conversation. Rather than a fansite, review, or walkthrough, it is a serious attempt to examine the game through a moral lens. Welcome! This blog is devoted to considerations of morality in the The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim by Bethesda.
