the elderscrolls has been going strong
since 1994 and the quality has ranged
significantly welcome to watchmojo.com
worse to best based on a combination of
personal opinion and general reception
legends won't be included though because
that's a card game not a mainline
adventure RPG like the rest of these
entries place a card on one of two sides
called lanes number 10 the Elder Scrolls
travels shadow key do you all remember
shadow key no of course you don't
Pete Hines doesn't even remember shadow
key and that's for a good reason
shadow key was the third installment in
the portable Elder Scrolls travel series
after the equally forgettable dawn star
and storm hold on early cell phones
shadow key however was released for the
nokia n-gage remember that thing
[Applause]
[Music]
but even though it was arguably the best
of those three games it still wasn't
very good few people played it and those
that did reported a host of technical
shortcomings that did a disservice to
the rich and detailed Elder Scrolls
series but then again it was the n-gage
we shouldn't have expected much do you
have a smartphone or PC
do you like building teams and
strategizing how about competing in
tournaments and running dungeons if you
answered yes to any of these questions
we know I'm gonna have to recommend raid
Shadow legends raid is a dark fantasy
RPG where you collect and customize
hundreds of champions to build your
ultimate team want to make your champion
even stronger raid has challenging
dungeons where you can win artifacts
that take your champion to the next
level you can get started right now go
to the video description click on the
special links and if you're a new player
you'll get one hundred thousand silver
and one free champion slasher who is an
absolute savage look at the face on this
guy all this treasure will be waiting
for you right here good luck and I'll
see you there number nine the Elder
Scrolls blades
it may be the best dedicated handheld
Elder Scrolls game you can get but
that's still not saying much this is a
free-to-play mobile game that takes
place between oblivion and Skyrim it is
primarily focused on combat and the
world design is linear due to the
limitations of mobile devices
[Music]
other elder scrolls staples have also
been excluded and the game places a
large emphasis on grinding and wait
timers blades is still in early access
and currently has some technical issues
let's hope that the finished product
will be a better smoother experience I
mean it can't be any worse than the
other Bethesda disaster right number
eight the Elder Scrolls adventures Red
Guard you're quite resourceful
Red Guard was certainly something
different for the Elder Scrolls series
for this release Bethesda is skewed the
traditional es gameplay in favor of a
more action-oriented game in the vein of
Tomb Raider and Prince of Persia cross
with me red god it could only be played
in third-person the levels were limited
in linear and the protagonist was
scripted and non customizable despite
the massive deviation Red Guard did a
few things brilliantly the script was
wonderful it told an intriguing story
and it richly expanded on the lore of
the series but the gameplay was utter
trash and Redguard flopped hard its
legacy is still felt in some ways but it
has long since faded into history and
obscurity to remind me in hell but
where's the money in that number 7 an
Elder Scrolls legend battlespire
[Music]
battlespire came just one year after
dagger fall and it was originally
designed as an expansion pack to the
game but ended up being its own
standalone title like red guard which
was being developed at the same time
battlespire is a little different from
the traditional Elder Scrolls experience
might as well grab the seals of the 13
patrons of the eight powers while you're
at it it contains more straightforward
action gameplay and there are no
merchants as it was designed to take
advantage of dagger Falls dungeon
crawling mechanics as such your mileage
may vary some people enjoy the more
straightforward experience and the lore
others hate the repetitive level design
artificial difficulty and lack of
traditional Elder Scrolls features it's
certainly not a bad game but it's not
one of the better ones either take the
password and go to my chambers sever the
last anchor and we shall be done number
six the Elder Scrolls arena
[Music]
it's hard to recommend arena to modern
players this game was obviously very
influential and it was a technological
marvel in 1994 the procedurally designed
open-world was breathtaking and
unimaginably expansive the combat
mechanics felt fluid and natural and the
unique day/night cycle was a novel
feature but like we said the game was a
technological marvel in 1994
[Music]
your enjoyment of arena depends solely
on your ability to enjoy older games it
seems borderline archaic now and what
was once fresh and inventive has long
since become antiquated but we can't
deny the influence of the game itself
it not only kick-started the Elder
Scrolls series but it helped change the
way see RPGs were made number five the
Elder Scrolls online appropriately set
in the middle of the list is what is
easily the most divisive entry we're
sure many Elder Scrolls fans who played
the game after Skyrim were left bitterly
disappointed online is nothing like
Skyrim let alone anything else in the
Elder Scrolls series since it's an
MMORPG
if you go in expecting Elder Scrolls 6
you won't find much to love on the other
hand if you go in with the right
expectations you'll have a blast it
plays well it features many well-written
quests and it contains a lot of
interesting locations and bits of lore
if you absolutely need more Elder
Scrolls in your life and you want to
experience more time in Tamriel then
playing online is a must
number 4 the Elder Scrolls 2
Daggerfall but his Spirit does not rest
with a spectral army he homes his former
kingdom crying for revenge
Daggerfall was an incredible improvement
on arena and despite some issues with
the games bugs at the time critics
hailed it as one of the best RPGs ever
it's certainly not without its flaws the
aforementioned bugs can get annoying
the gameplay is dated and the world is
almost too big it can certainly collapse
under the weight of its own ambition but
it's this very ambition that makes
Daggerfall such a classic even if it's
easy to spot the flaws you have to
commend a Bethesda for what they
attempted to do
Daggerfall is a sprawling an incredibly
dense experience and that works to both
its benefit and its detriment
[Music]
number three the Elder Scrolls for
Oblivion for 65 years I've ruled as
Tamriel is Emperor but for all these
years I've never been the ruler of my
own dreams
oblivion took the Elder Scrolls series
in a far more technologically impressive
direction
Bethesda really went all out for this
one increasing artificial intelligence
of the NPC's improving the lighting in
physics engine and utilizing voice
acting for the first time your stars are
not mine
today the warrior shall prove a stalwart
companion when fortune fades but despite
all that prowess oblivion still had its
detractors people couldn't help but
compare it to morrowind and when you do
that it obviously falls a little short
things like the leveling system and the
setting was sere though also proved a
little controversial with longtime
players
others adore the game and call it their
favorite of the series how much you
enjoy oblivion depends entirely on what
you want out of an Elder Scrolls game as
the Grand Master of the blades I would
be honored to accept you into our order
will you join us
number two the elderscrolls v Skyrim
Skyrim is perhaps one of the most
important video games of all time first
of all it is by far the most popular
Elder Scrolls game selling upwards of 30
million copies it also continues to be
relevant thanks to persistent upgrades
like the remastered version in 2016 a
switch port and even its recent move
into virtual reality now we just needed
to come to our microwaves it's clear
that Skyrim is a gaming phenomenon which
is in large part due to its incredible
and imaginative world and the memes then
call me shiokara Daedric prince of
madness there are some detractors
particularly those who point at the
simplified gameplay mechanics the
persistent bugs and the weightless melee
combat but those squabbles aside Skyrim
is a masterclass in game design and
world building and we can rightly call
it classic before we continue be sure to

Scrolls 3 morrowind there's a reason so
many Elder Scrolls fans place more wind
on a pedestal it's not only the greatest
game in the series but arguably one of
the greatest fantasy RPGs ever made this
game was a major leap from the ambitious
but generally flawed Daggerfall and is
arguably the first Elder Scrolls game to
truly marry its vision with his
mechanics
the world was expensive yet fluid and
creatively fused traditional medieval
fantasy with Eastern cultural elements
and styles it also nailed the essence of
creative freedom allowing the user to
learn the lore and interact with the
world on their own terms it didn't hold
your hand and it didn't need to we
