What was your first TES game?

Smitch_59

Just curious when everyone started playing The Elder Scrolls series games. What was the first TES game you ever played?

Jeraldan

Arena

Arena, tho it was a huge PITA to be honest...

Morrowind

Morrowind was my first, although I've since tried playing Daggerfall using a DOS emulator. Didn't get very far with it.

Asmodean

Morrowind

I still remember buying it. I'd no idea what it was. Just thought it looked interesting.

Back in the days when you'd walk into a game store without knowing what was out. and just randomly look at the games in the store to find a cool looking one. The PC section was my favourite. It was so mysterious, always with awesome, unusual looking games ;p

I used to buy games from simply looking at the back of the case. If it looked cool enough at the back, I was sold lol. I do miss those days, tbh.

Oblivion

The Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion was the first open world RPG I have played, but I love all of Bethesda's titles, they all have been truly amazing creations. I have played ESO since May 2014 and have absolutely loved it and still do, allthough I switched to Xbox One from PC.

LOL! Same here, I remember finding Morrowind in a bin of discounted games at Walmart. Bought it on a whim. Little did I know...

Arena

Arena when it was released. Loved it: the open world, the dream messages, the combat, and the puzzles. Been of fan of TES ever since.

You didn't had issues getting it to run?

Totalitarian

Skyrim

Skyrim

But I have Arena via DOS emulator (but the emulator doesn't support my computer very well)

I have Morrowind, but have barely played it.

I have Oblivion.

But ESO has to be my favorite one so far.

Zorrashi

Skyrim

....I was very (as in, super extremely) late with the Xbox generation. I had my PS2 and I refused to let it go for the longest time.
I didn't event want Skyrim originally, but it came with those console + game bundles that I only knew a marginal amount about. I thought it was shameless advertising......I was wrong. It was the best accidental purchase ever.

I booted it up, turned it on, and continued to play until my eyes were sore and bloodshot. I even took a loot at Morrowind and Oblivion, but alas--the graphics were too shoddy for me to grime my way through their story. Then steam sold them for dirt cheap.

Toxic_Hemlock

Arena

And I can still remember reloading the first dungeon over and over till I got good loot. OK so I cheated but it was after all a single player game so I felt no remorse.

Elara_Northwind

Oblivion

Oblivion on the xbox 360 I think it was actually my brothers game... I must have just claimed it for my own at some point

Anhedonie

Daggerfall

The first and the favourite.

P.S. ZOS, can we have wereboar skill line, please?

Stikato

Morrowind

Morrowind was just like whaaaa.... from the moment you step foot in Sedya Neen, it was one of the best gaming experiences ever.

Peel_Ya_Cap_517

Skyrim

Had never been into fantasy games until I saw my girlfriend playing Skyrim. It looked awesome and had to give it a try.. Ended up playing through the damn thing three times! Lol

Thevampirenight

Oblivion

First Elderscrolls game was Oblvion, back then I did not have internet so did not have any mods for it either.

Nope.

tplink3r1

Skyrim

Skyrim was the first, but i have played Oblivion after that.
I don't regret spending 1600+ of my life playing that game(823 hours on PC and 800+ hours on xbox).

Gidorick

Arena

First I ever played was Arena... but I didn't play it for very long. I had just played Ultima Underworld and Arena seemed... mediocre by comparison. I played Daggerfall a LOT but never finished it. I played the crap out of Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim. Played all of them all the way through (a rarity for me... I get distracted. ). Never played any of the offshoot games.

ListerJMC

Skyrim

Skyrim, because a friend thought I'd enjoy it and recommended it - and he was absolutely right! I loved it so much I went back and tried Oblivion, then Morrowind, and now I'm here and still loving it .

I'd really like to go play the games earlier than Morrowind one day, I mean I don't think anything could bother me as much as Oblivion potato faces graphics-wise!

Daggerfall

Daggerfall, but I didn't really get into it. It came out just as I was really getting into competitive Quake deathmatch & CTF. I played it a bit but Quake dominated my game playing time. Likewise when Morrowind came out.. I was still too entrenched in Quake clans & competitions to play it much.

Oblivion was the first Elder Scrolls game that hooked me in. I played it in 1280x720 on a 3 meter projection screen in a very dark room... so immersive, it was awesome. I totally loved the sneaking & stealthed attacks... a nightblade was born

Skyrim was huge also... pumped many hours of game time into that & it was very satisfying.

Quake rocked! I got totally hooked on that game. Loved the creepy Nine Inch Nails soundtrack.

Arena

Arena was my first. I played all TES games except the mobile phone stuff.

TheShadowScout

Daggerfall

Started with TES:Daggerfall, but I really fell in love with the series at TES:Morrowind!

SantieClaws

Daggerfall

Daggerfall. Found my home in Sentinel. Waited 20 years to be able to come back to it again

SlayerTheDragon

Oblivion

Oblivion. When I go through an Oblivion gate in ESO... the flood of emotion!

Huggalump

Morrowind

I didn't even like RPGs when it came out, but I had never seen a game that offered you freedom like this. It was great.

Tats

Morrowind

Morrowind on xbox was my first then I bought it on pc.

still the best elder scrolls game by far in my opinion.

Grisemn

Skyrim

i started with skyrim, but have all the games but Oblivion, Eso is by far my favorite though, probaly as i enjoy playing with friends more than anything, i like skyrim the least of them all, havent tried oblivion, so cant say any thing about that one.

Ackwalan

Daggerfall

Nothing like waiting inside a store until it closed, then stealing everything, including what was nailed down. Then waiting for the store to open, and selling everything right back to the same storeowner.

menedhyn

Oblivion

Oblivion was the first game I played and owned, but I dabbled a little bit with Morrowind thanks to the generosity and persuasiveness of a friend. I still haven't played MW from start to finish, which I deeply regret.

I miss spellcrafting and the relative expansiveness of alchemy in Oblivion though.
