Skyrim: Very Special Edition joke shows that an Alexa-based RPG might work (updated)

Skyrim: Very Special Edition was the best gag so far at the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3), a way of Bethesda making fun of itself for its multiple ports of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Yet as the actor interacted with his Alexa, having the device describe its situation and ask questions from playing Skyrim, what I saw wasn’t a joke but a way to make single-player role-playing games work on a smart assistant.

Alexa does Dungeons & Dragons, if you will.
