Skyrim is most definitely lacking in video memory, not system memory.

What is your opinion based off? To me it's absolutely clear that Skyrim has strong demand of *main memory* because of the complexity this game has - the growing save-file has already been mentioned by another poster.

Skyrim isn't really doing anything other than rendering huge open world environments - something which requires a lot of GPU memory.

CPU memory is still a requirement of course. But I can't see why specifically skyrim will need more system memory compared to other games that perform loads better than it.

Skyrim tracks a huge number of variables (most objects, NPCs, dragon positions, quests) and much of it is uses the system RAM. Any object you move is tracked.  Other open world games don't track anywhere near as many variables.
