Question of the Week Answers
We’ve gathered up some of your answers to last week’s Developer Question of the Week. Watch the video to see the full question, and look for a new Developer Question of the Week this Thursday.
“My first game was Oblivion. My older brothers were huge fans of Morrowind. Morrowind was too complex for me at the time and I could never get into it. When Oblivion came out, my brothers were incredibly excited and even made me want to play it. Oblivion in itself was much simpler and easier to play. However since the day I played Oblivion that first time, I was drawn into that fantasy world of spells, creatures, armor, and swords. I have always been a fan and enjoyed all of the games thoroughly. However, the one thing that had always rattled in my mind was ‘What if I could play Oblivion, Morrowind, and Skyrim with my friends?’ In my opinion, ESO is just the next Elder Scrolls, but Online.” – By Alex Zubarev
“The very first Elder Scrolls game I played was Daggerfall. When my family and I would go visit my grandparents who had a computer, my cousin had just bought this new game. The cover art was pretty creepy to me, and the game its self was scarier than Doom. We installed it and I watched him play for a while but he eventually got distracted and left, leaving me to make my own character, which was the beginning of my love affair with the series. I remember long, long nights of playing with my handy dandy notebook at the ready, jotting down all the info I needed for the quests, all the while hearing my parents yell ‘GET OUT OF THAT ROOM, IT’S SUPPER TIME AND YOU HAVEN’T EATEN SINCE BREAKFAST’ and receiving my reply ‘THERE’S FOOD IN THE GAME!’” – By Perry J Ross
“My first game was Skyrim. Everyone was going crazy over the game when it came out and I didn’t understand why because I had never even heard of Elder Scrolls until Skyrim. My friends kept telling me to buy it, but I told them I wasn’t gonna conform. I unexpectedly got 50 bucks from a family member and thought, ‘Well, I guess I could try it,’ even though I could’ve bought other games I wanted. As soon as I realized how much of an open world game it was I was hooked.” – By Mykale-Jamal Cortez Holland
“Morrowind was my first. What drew me in? The ability to get lost. The awesome feeling of finally finding the dungeon I was supposed to go to after an hour of looking for it. The power of my determination to complete the dungeon with what supplies I had brought with me. The constant wondering whether I took the right path to the town up the road or if I’ll instead end up somewhere completely different (this was how I first found a lot of the coolest locales in Morrowind).” – By Matt Daubaras
“My first Elder Scrolls game was Oblivion. A friend of mine let me play it on his 360 and I instantly was mesmerized and hooked! I bought the game for myself then the expansions afterward. Looking back on Oblivion and Skyrim, I always wondered, ‘Man this would be sweet if I could play with my brothers or friends online,’ and before I finished the thought you guys announced ESO!” – By Joseph Henry
