Description
This is the fourth title in Bethesda's popular
Elder Scrolls series. The continent of Tamriel is threatened by the Daedra Prince of Destruction, Mehrunes Dagon. The Emperor Uriel Septim and his three heirs were assassinated. You, a former prisoner in the Imperial Dungeons, were entrusted the Amulet of Kings by the emperor himself, and the mission to find the illegitimate son of his, the last of the Septim bloodline. The world hangs in the balance, the Septims and the Amulet was the last barrier between Oblivion and Tamriel.
The fourth Elder scrolls game sticks to the style of its predecessors. Action based combat, first person and third person views, "free roam". The game lets you play multiple types of characters - you can go in and just kill every monster in your path with your huge sword, or use stealth and backstab your foes from the shadows. You can go into to the world and search for forts, caves, mines, old temple ruins or you can just do some hunting. However, actual roleplaying freedom is quite limited, and there are few branching quests.
The character system, as was the case in previous games, is based on skill usage. When you use one of your certain skills, it improves, in time you become a Apprentice, Journeyman, Expert and Master and gain certain bonuses for the skill.
