Elder Scrolls

Bethesda has announced the release of a (nearly) complete collection of Elder Scrolls games for the PC, launched under the suitably epic title The Elder Scrolls Anthology.

In an interesting video game industry development, players will now be able to play certain Steam games before they’re completed. Also, BioShock Infinite is coming to Mac, and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim had a recent major update on Steam.

The third batch of downloadable content for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim looks to be the most substantial of the lot, reportedly featuring dragon mounts and mounted spell casting. It also appears that Elder Scrolls players will be able to revisit the island of Solstheim for the first time since its appearance in Bloodmoon, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind‘s second expansion.

Role–playing games (RPGs) are easily my favourite genre of video games. Video games as a platform are a perfect way of obtaining your daily fix of escapism, and not surprisingly, RPGs fit the bill better than platformers and multiplayer shooters. In this post, we go through five things that are needed to make RPGs great.

It’s been over 6 months since The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim was launched, and now we’ve got a glimpse at its first downloadable content: Dawnguard. 

Yes, you read that correctly – a future patch for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim will feature mounted combat. PC Skyrim players can try out a beta version of the patch right now.

At last, Bethesda has announced the first downloadable content for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, entitled Dawnguard. Also, today Xbox 360 players will be able to download the Kinect update, which features hundreds of voice commands.

ZeniMax media, Bethesda’s parent company, have trademarked the word ‘Dawnguard.’ We can only speculate what Dawnguard will be used for, but our best guess is that it’s related to the first DLC for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

Today Bethesda released details of the upcoming 1.5 update to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, with a beta version now available for PC players to download through Steam. A Bethesda blogpost reveals a significant list of changes including new kill cams for spells and projectile weapons.
