The Skyrim community is still active today, and one fan recently shared a painting they did depicting one of the most iconic early game areas, Bleak Falls Barrow. Skyrim was released in 2011 and is still very popular, having been released multiple times on newer platforms since its initial launch. Players of Skyrim will remember Bleak Falls Barrow very well, as it's one of the early areas that various story quests will send the player to.
Bleak Falls Barrows is usually the player's introduction to the various dungeons featured within Skyrim. The area is meant to teach players about the combat, looting, and puzzle mechanics that are prominent throughout the rest of the game. The dungeon also introduces players to their first dragon claw puzzle in Skyrim, which are also featured heavily in the more important dungeons that players will visit. One fan took to Reddit to share their painting of Bleak Falls Barrow, which captures the mountaintop dungeon in stunning accuracy.
Reddit user Aftern shared the image online, which depicts both Bleak Falls Barrow and the bandit tower players will come across on their journey to the early game dungeon. The painting is from a bird's eye view of the mountain that Bleak Falls Barrow sits on, and is a stunning recreation that faithfully depicts the fan-favorite dungeon.
Commenters on Aftern's post shared their own thoughts regarding Bleak Falls Barrow, as well as their support of the artist's incredible work. One fan writes "I'm gonna say it. Bleak Falls Barrow is the best dungeon in the game," showing the mindset that a lot of Skyrim fans seem to hold regarding the early game dungeon. Another fan complimented Aftern's work, commenting that "If I could I would jump into your painting and live there for a few days." Aftern's painting is one of many that depict iconic Skyrim locations, such as Solitude or High Hrothgar, and is a testament to the fact that the Skyrim community is still quite active almost twelve years after the game's initial release.
