Oh my goodness. I'd like to start of saying that I have never played an Elder scrolls game before and Skyrim was my first but damn. THIS GAME IS GOOD. I spent the last day or two on one side mission. I heard the older ones where free now, I might have to look into that. Good job Bethesda.

They make magnificent games.

The older games might play a little dated now. . . a shame. They had some amazing moments.

Arena and Daggerfall are now freeware.

Morrowind is my favourite in the series and is still worth picking up.

Oblivion is good also.

I did try Oblivion once but couldn't get into it, I think at the time I didn't know much about the games and when I went In expected something other than what it was. I did a lot more research on Skyrim.
