About The Elder Scrolls

The Elder Scrolls is one of the most influential role-playing series in gaming history, spanning five mainline games and countless spin-offs over three decades. Each game drops you into the continent of Tamriel — a vast, handcrafted fantasy world with its own history, cultures, and conflicts — and gives you near-total freedom to play your way. The series is defined by its open worlds: from the alien mushroom forests of Morrowind and the rolling hills of Cyrodiil to the frozen peaks of Skyrim, every province feels alive with its own identity. Character progression is skill-based, letting you define your hero through play rather than rigid classes, and the series is famous for its modding communities that extend the games far beyond their original scope. The most recent mainline entry, Skyrim, remains one of the best-selling games ever made, and the series continues to define what open-world RPGs can be.
