From somewhat obscure origins, it has emerged as the most recognizable brand of role-playing games in the world. To say the anticipation for the upcoming sixth mainline entry is palpable would be an understatement. Tamriel's tales extend beyond the five numbered chapters and their popular massively multiplayer counterpart, branching out into several spin-offs that vary in notoriety from favored to forgotten.
Come forth, brave adventurer, and learn about every last one of them. First, let's take a look at every Elder Scrolls game that has launched so far, including those odd little spin-offs and experimental titles.
Some things in Arena will feel familiar to current audiences. The first-person view and menu-cycling magic have never really faded from the main entries. But the sheer size of the game's world necessitated a degree of procedurally-generated content that can quickly wear out its welcome, with hundreds of dungeons that will look, well, more than a little similar.
The game's also notorious for its punishing difficulty. Even Ken Rolston, the lead designer for Morrowind — which isn't exactly a cakewalk, either — has famously stated that he only ever managed to get past Arena's introductory dungeon once. The gaming industry has more than a few obsessions. One of them involves developers boasting increasingly large open-world environments. To be sure, many of these are wonderful and rich with imaginative content.
The Elder Scrolls 2: Daggerfall's map is approximately 63, square miles in size. That's the state of Florida. As with Arena before it, all that real estate comes with a price. The amount of procedurally-generated content can make anyone's head spin. It is not a "handcrafted" game by most measures. It is, however, a significant step up from Arena, with a much more involved plot and the beginnings of a truly intriguing Tamriel.
With the relative success of Daggerfall, Bethesda decided to begin work on not one, not two, but three separate Elder Scrolls projects. The first to launch was An Elder Scrolls Legend: Battlespire, set not on the surface of the realm of Mundus, but in another plane of existence sandwiched between Mundus and the realm of Oblivion.
The hero is an apprentice serving at the titular Battlespire who bears witness to the slaughter of his compatriots and sets out on a seven-level quest to defeat the nefarious Daedra called Mehrunes Dagon. The only game in the entire series that features an established protagonist, it's the story of a young man named Cyrus who journeys to an island off the coast of Tamriel's Hammerfell province in search of his missing sister.
The tangled political web of Daggerfall returns here in full force as Cyrus is forced to navigate the machinations of various aspiring upstarts. It feels like Redguard has more in common with The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time than it does any mainline Elder Scrolls chapter, with free-roaming action-adventure at the forefront and a singular narrative.
It's hard to believe now, but there was a time in which Bethesda was on its last legs, desperate for a hit before financial woes sealed the company's fate. Neither Battlespire nor Redguard sold well enough to meet management's expectations, and Morrowind was taking an awful long time to come together.
Take my word for it guys: this game is broken! The other reviews on this page are mis-leading. I am The Destroyer. I will break games, Take my word for it guys: this game is broken! I will break games, complain about the littlest detail, and tell you whether or not you should buy this game.
A lot of things to say but can't due to the character limit. The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion is filled with rich detail, decent graphics during it's time, superb voice acting, and gives you plenty of things to do.
There is over dungeons in the game, and it masters the RPG element in it's genre. This game was a dream come true for all gamers of who don't like being restricted to linear gameplay. Story There's a lot to dive in here, so I'll just skip to the important parts without revealing spoilers. The game begins you in a prison where you design your character. You get to pick your race, customize their appearance, and then eventually choose their stats and birth-sign.
Assassians have come for the Emperor, and a secret escape passage happens to be in your holding cell. Skipping the spoilers a bit, you'll eventually break out of prison, and can follow the main questline, or choose to go anywhere in the world. The main story itself is a little chiche but is stomachable.
Voice Acting You'd think that having the same voice actor or actress for each race would hinder the game, but it actually helped. The entire cast is amazing and will have you believing the character. The nature and bushes is there in forests. And the major cities, though probably not as big as they could be, is lively. There is no one in the world that can deny this. Put it all together and it deserves the highest rating possible! Now as for actual combat itself; you have the choice of bashing, slashing, or blasting your foes.
You can even play as an archer and 1-shot everything if you manage to build up your marksmanship enough. But beware: the RPG element is active! As you attack, you'll begin to lose stamina, which causes you to do less damage with your swings.
Magic requires Magika or Mana points to cast, or you won't be able to use spells. Shields are hilariously overpowered in this game, which you'll begin to notice at later levels, especially if you enjoy fighting Legion soldiers. Unfortunately, it's also faulted, and makes you level in a specific way or else you miss out level cap. Quest rewards are leveled --you don't get the full value of an item until you are at least level Game Over Online.
The folks at Bethesda have built themselves quite a world, and while not perfect it is a joy to inhabit for a couple of hundred hours. If we looked at this honestly, though, this game probably should have been pushed back a month or so for more polish. It needed it and it still does.
Playstation Official Magazine UK. I love this game, I really do, but I can't give it the score I want in its current state. It might not. The most amazing game of the year is in there somewhere.

But any true gamer will appreciate this masterpiece. Awesome game I loved Oblivion, but that can't be compared to Skyrim. Prepare for a huge game, hundreds of quests and quite nice graphics for Awesome game Prepare for a huge game, hundreds of quests and quite nice graphics for an open-rpg.
However, what makes this game really outstanding and one of the best RPG's ever produced is the atmosphere. The soundtrack is legendary. Enough said, now buy and play ; … Expand. The anticipation and excitement for this game by RPG lovers could only be satiated by a near-perfect game designed with the care you've come The anticipation and excitement for this game by RPG lovers could only be satiated by a near-perfect game designed with the care you've come to expect from games such as Bioshock and previous Elder Scrolls titles.
This, unfortunately, is not such a game. The story has potential, but essentially most quests boil down to townsfolk who are incapable of doing anything sending you out on chores such as 'pick up a letter here' or 'go talk to this guy'. The reason you play a game is not to spend 10 quest objectives or 30 minutes of game time finding a location to do battle, but rather to engage in said battle. While this isn't the case all the time, all too often you are sent on talking missions that are not in the least bit fun or interesting.
