    You must keep in mind that although Bethesda has fallen from grace in recent days, in 2011, Skyrim was one of the best received games of the time.
    It's important to note that these two entries are seven years apart. Skyrim, when it released, was made for the Xbox 360/ PlayStation 3 console generation; hardware which originally launched in the mid 2000's. Oblivion, from 2006, and Skyrim, were both entries of the same generation designed to run on the same systems. Although I must give credit where credit is due and agree that KCD is a much better game in every aspect, saying that Skyrim falls short to Kingdom Come is equivalent to saying the flip phone falls short to the smartphone. Different times, different tech.
    Unrivaled by any of the other RPGs at the time, Bethesda was informally crowned the kings of the open world RPG in the late 2000's and early 2010's. An unfortunate consequence of Skyrim's massive success however is that Bethesda became too confident in their formula and failed to realize that the gaming industry as a whole would make leaps and bounds over the following years. Their complacency would only become amplified as time moved on.
    The mechanics of Skyrim were fairly standard for the industry at the time. In 2011, loading screens were still very common and we thought nothing of it. Most actions were still completed in menus and the general tone for gaming was shifting more towards "casual" experiences. As time marched forward however, more and more games began to drop loading screens, menus continued to be used less frequently and gaming mechanics began to become more in-depth.
    With "medieval" RPG entries like the Witcher 3, KCD, Divinity 2, BG3, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Elden Ring, and the Souls-likes of the previous decade, Skyrim these days now feels like a relic of the past. Even in the broader category of the Open World RPG, we have titans like RDR2, Cyberpunk 2077, and the newer AC titles. All of which have innovated the genre far beyond what Skyrim was ever capable of achieving 13 years ago. Now, however, Bethesda still releases games structured identically to the formula they pioneered in the Morrowind and Oblivion era. As we have seen with the 2023 release of Starfield, Bethesda doesn't know what modern gaming looks like anymore. While their competitors are busy playing 3 dimensional chess, Bethesda is sitting in the corner playing checkers by themselves.
    The next several years will be detrimental to the survival of the studio. Soon we will have entries like Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2, Grand Theft Auto 6, The Wayward realms, and the Witcher 4. We don't know yet how much innovation these upcoming titles will bring to the industry, but I think its a safe bet to say gaming is about to go through yet another revolution, much like what we saw in the late 90's and mid 2010s. If The Elder Scrolls 6 is set to be released between 2026-2029, and they are still creating games with the same mindset they had 2 decades ago, they will surely go under.

    Why are these 2very different games being compared?
    In my opinion kcd is just fundamentally better
    Wells Skyrim has more quality of life things like quick alchemy and having magic
    Kcd’s realism is just good
    Honestly people who say kcd is “to hard” need to get rid literally kcd is easy as sh money is easy to make just gotta learn reading and alchemy and the fighting isn’t that hard
    Sure it takes a bit to get used to but once you do it’s even more easier than Skyrims combat making it so that if you’re amazing at combat in kcd you
    Basically become a god and immortal
    Wells skyrims combat is way to simple also pss easy and basically has you rely on enchanting to make you a god obviously skyrims combat is easier but it’s just to simple
    Like Skyrim you can get into a lot of random encounters in kcd
    Kcd in my opinion is just better
    Say what you want
    If you’re a Skyrim fan and say it’s better than that’s your opinion.

    On the other hand I love KCD but the swordplay is horrendous. It favors passive turtling like no other game and it even punishes you for playing aggressively. The whole combat revolves around master strikes, therefore combos are undoable because the enemy just masterstrikes them. Also, the game is designed around 1v1s, a 1v2 is doable, a 1v3 is a sluggish chore and anything above is an infuriating slow mess where minor mistakes get punished harshly.
