[Archive] Elder Scrolls:Playing catch up, need help

that guy:

I just read about the new Elder Scrolls game coming out and it sounds like something I have to play. I’m getting to be an old fart and havent been a hardcore gamer for a long time and I’ve known about the Elder Scrolls franchise but never actually played them. Does anyone know of a site that would have the story so far? I’m looking for spoilers and plot twists and the whole nine yards because I dont want to nor do I have the time to go back and play all the games in the franchise just so I can understand whats going on when I dive into this one.

This might help: Lore | Elder Scrolls | Fandom

You’d be better off playing the games, though. TES IV: Oblivion is one of my favorite games of all time.

I prefer Morrowind (but not for the walking!)

thanks,I’ll check those out.

I’d still recommend playing them, even if you just walk around and look at things.

I saw a copy of Oblivion in a ‘bargain bin’ for $14 yesterday - well worth it! Actually, Oblivion is the reason I got an xbox360 and an HDTV in the first place…

I owned morrow wind for xbox a long time ago but it was about the same time I started not having time to play games as much as I liked.I never really made it past the character creation part, but the idea of the game seemed cool. My brother in law had Oblivion, and I saw the tiniest snippet of the game,that looked good but once again I didnt see enough to figure the story out. I’d ask him about it but he’s like a fart in the wind these days and the brief and rare occasions I run into him, video games arent at the top of our priority.
