Well neither really, because both games were awful within their own right. But if we are going off which is the better made game, then we need to go of "Skyrim Special Edition" and "Fallout 4", and not the original release of "Skyrim". By that standard, Skyrim is a far superior game. It does a way better job at character building, world building and both games pretty much fail completely in the terms of story. As far as combat goes, it is a bit more subjective, but I prefer Skyrim's because it holds more tactical value at times.
