When it comes to what I
do in my free time and even just the games I play, there’s a lot of content
that never gets a proper blog post here. I understand that given my recent
update rate, this information has gone from “kind of obvious assumption” to
“something so clearly and blatantly apparent that all human children
instinctively know it at birth”. But I want to make this clear all the same. I
play all sorts of video games that I never see fit to write lengthy articles
about. Typically this is some combination of having nothing interesting to
say and/or the game being so popular and documented that everything I could say
has been said.
An example of this
phenomenon is Bethesda games. Bethesda is probably best known for The Elder
Scrolls series; a succession of massive open-world action RPGs most recently
featuring the extremely popular Skyrim.
I’ve sunk many hundreds of hours into the company’s more recent games, starting
with The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
Even though this game is the second most recent in the series it’s already almost a decade old. Bethesda made games before this, but they’ve generally been rated M
and when I was younger I had what was less of a computer and more one of
Charles Babbages new-fangled abacuses.
