Very realistic-looking.
Probably wouldn't have guessed what this is about if you didn't say it's Skyrim.

Awesome, what tech nowadays can achieve!

Can you actually play that?

well, as the video is just camera panning the scenery, no npc's or any thing: all things point to no.

Good for you that it all pointign to no is so clear to you 👍

And I suppose that what we're seeing here cannot be added to the game via mods or something?

well, if you add a game to a scenery project, it's a game! Easy! :P

All kidding aside, I don't mean to rain on the parade, but these "X in UE5" are dime a dozen stuff on youtube, basically just harvesting views for a game/remake that'll never be. Some of them have bit more effort put into them than others, sure, but basically none of them are even remotely close to being anything more than pretty graphics demo made by a single person.

The fact that these can be made by a single person is no less impressive though, and farming views is maybe a motive but more importantly this person is showcasing their skill at manipulating the UE editor.
But yeah there's no "game" here.

Impressive. Aside from the quality of the visuals I wish this was the Winterhold we had gotten. Winterhold in game just seems too small to feel like the great city the game keeps telling us it used to be. The sprawling ruins around the village here are also a nice touch.
