Arena full intro including character creation

For the first time on the internets, the full intro of the The Elder Scrolls: Arena. This shows the character creation process, and a wee bit of the first dungeon, the imperial prison in which the mythic Jagar Tharn has put the timeless champion.

Honestly, having finished this game I can say that the advances in design and technology have made for more entertaining games (Daggerfall and Morrowind) but this game was pushing the limit when it was made. Amazing for a first effort.

LOL "From where dost thou hail?" Im so glad developers dropped the whole roleplaying-talking-interface thing...

[dalriada]

haha- maybe, but even so this should be 'whence dost thou hail'?

Totally freakin' awesome, I had no idea that the Jagar Tharn traitor story was actually a game, I just thought it was a cool, detailed book that Bethesda thought was a great thing to put in, shows how little I know. I joined the TES "cult" with Morrowind, but decided to play Daggerfall just before Skyrim was released out of respect for the series, now I see I should have gone a little further back ;D.

@JackKrauser33 daggerfall. arenas controls are bad at best and its pretty hard

I'm happy to see the Elder Scrolls Games go from "cult classics" to "hailed masterpieces." Bethesda deserves it. I'm happy to wait 4 years for an exceptional game versus waiting 1 year to play a recycled piece of crap.

@JackKrauser33 I actually played Arena right before Oblivion because I wanted to play them in a somewhat chronological order. I love the dark and uneasy atmosphere in them compared to Oblivion in particular. Daggerfall is better, but why not play both? They're free and all :)

Oblivion was my introduction to the Elder Scrolls series, but now I want to see what the older games are like. Should I download this or Daggerfall?
