“I started at Bethesda right as Arena came out, and when I first played it I was thinking -- sweet -- this is a really nice dungeon-hack game. The game starts you in a dungeon where you spend your first few levels. And then I got out into the wilderness and I was like, "You have to be kidding me. I can go anywhere? Do anything? This. Rules." I came across a river, walked along it, found a boat, sailed it to a small island where I found a crypt, went in, killed skeletons, and found a great magic item. It was that single small experience that hooked me.” 
Todd Howard, 2004

The first Elder Scrolls, a game forgotten to time by many. With Daggerfall having a second wind in the last couple of years, finding new fans amongst those who joined the series at a later point - Is it time for the first game to have its chance at redemption?

Over the next few hours, I will be trying to answer that very question by deconstructing and analysing everything this game has to offer, from its tumultuous development to its gargantuan game world.

This is the Complete Retrospective and Analysis of The Elder Scrolls One: Arena.

This Elder Scrolls analysis series is inspired by PatricianTV.
Thanks to I Finished A Video Game and Once Lost Games for their incredible support.

After a week i finished your video.
Worth it indeed.

Man, I just watched the 4 hours straight, excellent video, I like to see this type of content as a way of studying, I'm relatively new to Gamedev and it's always a pleasure to see the first games coming out... I love the TES series but jesus christ how that it was successful? aesthetics are very bad, gameplay is confusing and messy, don't get me wrong I'm really glad it worked, I'm just extremely impressed with this achievement LOL
BTW great video!
