Since I like retro games quite a bit, I've been wanting to go back and play through the older titles and actually finish the newer ones. However, I've never finished the main story in any Elder Scrolls game. Like most other people I enjoyed Skyrim quite a bit, though usually with mods. I also played a little of Morrowind either a bit before or around the time of Oblivion's release. I got into the Elder Scrolls games starting with Oblivion.
The game begins with the current emperor being betrayed and locked away in an alternate dimension by one of his imperial battlemages, Jagar Tharn. The gameplay mostly consists of hacking and slashing monsters to bits in various dungeons, but there is a story to tie everything together as well as spells, thieving, and NPC interactions. It also features one of the largest explorable world spaces in video game history, though it is not connected like the majority of the lands in other Elder Scrolls games. The game relies heavily on procedurally generated content, though there are still some hand crafted elements to be found in towns and certain dungeons. While it's still a first person open world RPG, it's quite different than its more popular successors such as Morrowind and Skyrim. Arena is the game that began the iconic Elder Scrolls franchise, created by Bethesda Softworks and released in 1994 for MS-DOS.
