Definitely not. And not only because Skyrim was released AFTER New Vegas, but because the only thing that could render Skyrim obsolete is a new (and good) Elder Scrolls game. 10 years later and Skyrim still has a lot of players, with people still making new mods to this day.

I know we all love this game but c'mon now.

Yea, I know, but he first makes a valid point of Valheim being nothing like Skyrim and then makes this other, pretty ridiculous, claim. Doesn't seem like a joke which made me wonder...

As for the question of the OP. No, I don't see this making Skyrim obsolete. Different games and different audiences, with some overlap. I have no interest in Skyrim - find the Elder Scrolls to be a pretty dull experience - but have enjoyed Valheim very much.

Yeah that's the thing about TES games, they will always have an audience. Especially now that Bethesda make extremely casual games that anybody can just jump right in, they have an infinite supply of consumers.
