The best of example of a violence in Skyrim:

 

Skyrim is a prime example of what can be considered as a violent video game, because parts of its lore contain killing and sacrifing which can be seen as violent. Moreover, there is always a constant state of war, not only in Skyrim, but in the Elder Scrolls series.
