Old-School Games That Directly Inspired Skyrim

The Elder Scrolls series began humbly with The Elder Scrolls: Arena in 1994. By evolving the series with each entry, eventually Bethesda hit perfection withThe Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim in 2011. It, of course, was like an amalgamation of every entry that came before it, capitalizing on the leveling-up system, combat, and world that had been established previously.
