Despite the fact that they're from different genres and separate development studios, Minecraft and The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim do have some similarities. As well as being open-world games with lots to explore and featuring dragons, they're also video games which encourage mindfulness in their players.

Specifically, they've recreated a pretty accurate facsimile of Bleak Falls Barrow, or at least the exterior of it. They've even managed to build it in Minecraft's snowy biome to really lend it that air of Elder Scrolls authenticity.

If they do, that would be very impressive, as the inside of the dungeon is quite sizable, incorporating dark tunnels, a series of traps, puzzles, giant spiders, and effectively a mini boss in the form of a Draugr Overlord.
