The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim launched at a very different time in the video game industry. Nowadays, the bulk of video game sales are digital, meaning gamers are collecting their games without any physical boxes, but when Skyrim first came out, games came in boxes with instruction manuals and other goodies.

A different, more helpful map was published by Prima Games, and it too may have been owned by plenty of Skyrim players back in the day.

The rise of the internet made these strategy guides mostly obsolete, but there were some genuinely great ones published over the years. One such strategy guide is the massive Skyrim strategy guide published by Prima Games, which included a large black map of the game world. This map was far more detailed than the one that came with the game, and could be used in conjunction with the info in the strategy guide to help Skyrim players on their adventures.
