Favorite franchise?
Many people have their favorite video game series or franchise. Mine is the Elder Scrolls franchise. I was introduced into this franchise when I was in middle school. I remember the first time I witnessed the greatness of immersible video games. The game that I was introduced to was the fourth game in the series called The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion. What drew me in was the fact that you are thrown into a whole new world and have no idea where to go or who to talk to. It is a franchise that has an entire Galaxy and planets named. The planet the series takes place on it called Nurn. I have a map of the planet on my bedroom wall with all the continents and provinces labeled. I would call myself a pretty big geek when it comes to The Elder Scrolls and its history and lore. I have personally only played three out of the five Elder Scrolls games and have spent much of my childhood and still today, playing and learning more about the franchise. The Elder Scrolls games only come out every five to seven years and it is a long wait to have to go through especially for a hardcore fan like myself. I do feel like the wait is worth it though because the end product we are given is at a quality level beyond a finished game. The last Elder Scrolls game came out in 2011 and is still a top game that people play today. The content that you get from Elder Scrolls games are re-playable and with the gaming community on the PC, The Elder Scrolls is an even more time lasting game because of the hard working modding community and add ons. The company which owns The Elder Scrolls series is called Bethesda Softworks and they are a triple A game company. With the addition of DLC also known as down loadable content, The Elder Scrolls games give players even more time to spend and get immersed into the epic world I still love today and will most likely always love throughout my entire life. If there is one game I do not like, which I am not sure if I should even count as an Elder Scrolls game, is The Elder Scrolls Online. That game is one I have never played but was developed by EA games. It was the first multi player glimpse into the Elder Scrolls world and is also a MMO which is a massively multi player game. Many fans of the Elder Scrolls games do not approve The Elder Scrolls Online as being a true Elder Scrolls game. I can partly agree. I feel like The Elder Scrolls games created by Bethesda Softworks perfected the vision of a perfect single player game. My opinion is a very one sided one because many gamers may not even like the fantasy genre of role playing games, but for me the Elder Scrolls games will always have a place on my shelf. Heck they can take up the entire book case for all I care. My one dream to have concerning The Elder Scrolls franchise is before I die, could I please play an Elder Scrolls game that covers the entire planet and history, lore, and characters throughout the entire time line of Nurn. If you could Bethesda, I may die a happy fan of your games. If not I will haunt your game studio for the rest of eternity.
