Skyrim: Very Special Edition

Bethesda made a version of the Skyrim game that runs on Alexa through voice commands. It even works on the Alexa phone app!  To start your Zork-like adventure, just say “Alexa, open Skyrim”.  Read on to learn more…

This version of Skyrim tracks player level and hit points, and skill levels for spells, weapons, and shouts. It saves automatically, so if you have to suddenly quit the game, it will remember exactly what you were doing (and will give you a summary of what’s going on) next time you run it.

In-game commands include:

  • Attack with weapon
  • Cast spell
  • Use shout
  • Flee

You must also make numerous choices thoughout the game, in a choose-your-own-adventure style path system.

 

Here is a trailer for the game, featuring Keegan-Michael Key (of Key & Peele fame) that was shown at the 2018 Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3)
