A Foul Wind Blows - Let's Play The Elder Scrolls Arena | High Elf Healer - Episode 42
5We press on, traveling deeper into the Crypt of Hearts, and apparently something stinks.
Arena is the game that began the iconic Elder Scrolls franchise, created by Bethesda Softworks and released in 1994 for MS-DOS. While it's still a first person open world RPG, it's quite different than its more popular successors such as Morrowind and Skyrim. The game relies heavily on procedurally generated content, though there are still some hand crafted elements to be found in towns and certain dungeons. It also features one of the largest explorable world spaces in video game history, though it is not connected like the majority of the lands in other Elder Scrolls games. The gameplay mostly consists of hacking and slashing monsters to bits in various dungeons, but there is a story to tie everything together as well as spells, thieving, and NPC interactions. The game begins with the current emperor being betrayed and locked away in an alternate dimension by one of his imperial battlemages, Jagar Tharn. As Nilliven the high elf healer, it's up to us, with the help of Tharn's apprentice who is still loyal to the throne, to set things right in the world of Tamriel, or if you prefer, the Arena.
As a fun extra, the music in this playthrough will be generated by a real Yamaha MU50 MIDI device. The game itself will be emulated via DOSBOX.
