Which video game was released in 2011 and is set in the province of Skyrim?

The story behind the answer

The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was released in 2011 and is set in the province of Skyrim. Developed by Bethesda Game Studios, it is the fifth main installment in The Elder Scrolls role-playing game series.

The game launched worldwide on November 11, 2011, for Windows, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360. Its open world is the northernmost province of Tamriel, a continent on the fictional planet Nirn. The story follows the player character, the Dragonborn, who must confront Alduin, a dragon prophesied to destroy the world.

Players can explore cities, mountains, ruins, and wilderness while pursuing quests or ignoring the main story. Oblivion is a common wrong option because it is the previous main series game, released in 2006 and set in Cyrodiil. Fallout 4 is also made by Bethesda, but it belongs to a different post-apocalyptic franchise and was released in 2015.
