Oh, Skyrim! My oldest son (15) loved this a few years back, and I promised to learn a bit so we could talk. It's a massive world, with dragons and wizards, and I have to say, there's something to it. I'm no gamer, but I understood what drew them in.
What is this game
Listen, basically it's a fantasy game, open-world, you know, where there's no fixed path. Your kid is some kind of hero who fights dragons and all sorts of creatures. They can be a mage, a warrior, or even a thief, whatever they fancy. There are tons of quests, characters to talk to, and just places to explore. It's like a big book you can live inside.
