The buildings aren't very impressive (basically just blocks with textures applied to them) but there certainly is atmosphere. These remote generated villages are useful for players who want to become a successful thief (because there aren't many guards in these villages)
The player will also find some randomly generated villages outside the city walls, or perhaps some farmland. The landscape is generated each time the player begins a new game, so it is impossible to walk from one city to the other (for this the player must use fast travel) however it is possible to venture outside the city walls and enter any tomb or dark temple the player stumbles upon.
Elder scrolls jagar tharn series#
Sadly the player was only able to join guilds in the second installment in the TES series (TES 2: Daggerfall), however in Arena the player is still able to accept quests from people in taverns and inns and provincial rulers as mentioned earlier.
Elder scrolls jagar tharn free#
The player is basically free to explore the entire world, raid huge dungeons, accept quests from townsfolk in the cities or accept high-level quests from the provincial rulers.Īrena was initially intended as an arena-game, a game in which you would set up a team of warriors and mages and fight other teams in different arenas in Tamriel.īut soon the developers wanted to add cities in which you could buy equipment, and dungeons to raid for equipment and to train the skills of your teammates.Įventually Arena became a single player RPG game (thus no teammates) in which the player could be anybody, go anywhere and basically kill anyone. It can be picked up at any moment the player wishes to.
The plot won't win any prizes (the plot of Arena becomes a lot thicker in TES 2 and TES 3 where you can read up on Jagar Tharn, the staff of chaos and Uriel Septim's conquests) but that's where the beauty of the TES games lies… the plot can easily be forgotten. Jagar Tharn does this and it is up to you to reassemble the artifact, kill Jagger Tharn and free the emperor. With the help of Ria Silmane's ghost you escape the dungeon.Īnother bad guy tradition in early RPG games is to cut the artifact into several pieces and scatter the pieces around the empire in dungeons.
After which he transforms himself into the emperor, and summons a legion of demons which he transforms into imperial guards. After zapping the emperor away he kills a close ally of the emperor, Ria Silmane, and locks you up inside a dungeon under the imperial city. He does this by imprisoning the emperor in another dimension using an artifact called 'The Staff of Chaos'. Of course the battle mage is intent on stealing the emperor's power (ALL battle mages, advisors and viziers have the same plan, its tradition) Uriel Septim, emperor of Tamriel, allies himself with the battle mage Jagar Tharn in order to unify the whole of Nirn under the imperial flag. If that doesn't ring a bell… read on.Īrena takes place on a planet called Nirn (sound cheesy, doesn't it?) in the empire of Tamriel. Arena is the first game in the Elder scrolls series (TES).
