Sometimes being given the power to absorb dragon souls and yelling expletives in their tongue isn’t enough. Sometimes seeking some higher powers might be warranted in a land as tumultuous as Skyrim. After all, being a Dragonborn is hard work, everyone’s out to kill you, and there aren’t many true allies. So seeking a pact with the closest thing to devils in Tamriel is excusable.

Such an impressive sales feat is due in no small part to the title’s incredibly diverse contribution of gameplay features, which not only helped Skyrim’s bottom line, but also assisted in establishing the action role-playing game as a fan-favorite and a critical darling. However, with the game’s scope being so wide-reaching, and with it being available across so many platforms, a bevy of technical issues became a commonplace occurrence, especially with the release’s PlayStation 3 port....
