Skyrim does a great job outlining the Elder Scrolls games' general premise, especially when the DLC is considered as well. Skyrim may not be the best game in the series, but it serves as a great way to introduce new fans to the games' general formula whilst highlighting their main appeals. The fifth Elder Scrolls game was a defining entry for the series, capitalizing on the popularity ganged with Oblivion. However, if there were one Elder Scrolls game that would be the best entry-level game for the series, it'd probably have to be Skyrim.
