RELATED: Ember Is the Elder Scrolls Online Companion Everyone Has Been Waiting ForĪrena is definitely the harder of the two games to get into, which is understandable since it's the first. Still, it's easy to see how influential these games were to not only future Elder Scrolls entries, but also to gaming as a whole. However, these titles haven't necessarily aged well, with many modern gamers noting their clunky controls, obtuse mechanics, and unforgiving difficulty. The ghost of King Lysandus is trapped on earth and it's the player's job to free him, again taking part in quests picked up from towns and cities across the game.As first-person action-adventure games in the vein of a fusion between DOOM and Ultima, the first two Elder Scrolls games were among the earliest to feature such a large scale, with Arena actually being nearly infinite with its procedurally generated worlds. In Arena, the player is tasked with uncovering a conspiracy against King Uriel Septim VII, traversing across all of Tamriel and fighting through procedurally generated wilderness to complete various main and side quests.ĭaggerfall follows a similar model but instead takes place in just two regions of Tamriel: Hammerfell and High Rock. While they're very different experiences from the most recent Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, which itself is now more than a decade old, the first two games boil down to similar RPG fundamentals. The latter two are a little more expensive at $6 each, but fans probably needn't panic in trying to grab the freebies before the price goes up - Arena has been free since 2004 and Daggerfall since 2009, to celebrate the tenth and 15th anniversaries of The Elder Scrolls respectively. As reported by Kotaku, five games have been moved to Steam so far including these two, plus Wolfenstein: Enemy Territory (which is also available for free) and two Elder Scrolls spin-offs from the late 90s: An Elder Scrolls Legend: Battlespire and The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard.
