Hello fellow Skyrim fans,

I am posting this forum today to suggest a port of Skyrim to mobile devices (Specifically Android and iOS tablets [such as the iPad and NVIDIA Shield Tablet]). There are already mods for Skyrim that make it run better on low end computers, so with some developer-implementation of a similar modifications, I am sure that Skyrim could run at a very playable 30+fps on newer tablets.

I'm not talking just a small port of a few areas. I mean the entire game, with full mod and DLC support. No unneccessary texture downscaling, animation overhauls, or AI changes either; just Skyrim, pure and true.

Modding support would be simple, I think. For iOS, just mount your iPad or simillar device to your computer, and drop mod files into the Skyrim app's documents folder. For Android, just mount with a computer (or even just from a file browser in Android) and drop mod files into something like .../Skyrim/mods/ .

Tell me what you guys think, and let's see if we can bring this to Bethesda's attention!

After what Bethesda went through for the PS3, I doubt it. Plus it would only be playable on a small number of tablets.
EDIT: The Nvidia Tablet is the best one yet, and it can only run Half Life 2 at lower settings at 40 - 60 fps, unless it's just a bad port.

Bethesda are completely finished with Skyrim and won't be porting anything. They announced this well over a year ago.

Wow! Some fast and ultimately disapointing response... thanks for the info though! I know that OpenMW is porting Morrowind to Android... perhaps someone with experience like this will do that for Skyrim in the future. I guess I'll have to wait and see!

I think that's probably the only chance you have of Skyrim being ported. Welcome to the forums by the way.

Thank you for the welcoming!

Huh...what!? Morrowind is being ported to android!?

https://openmw.org/en/ is a project to rebuild the Morrowind engine.
Although I don't ever recall them saying it would be on Android.

Edit:
Another person is doing a port to Android, not officially part of OpenMW team, but it will require the OpenMW open source code.
