5 Main Take-Aways About Elder Scrolls: Blades From Bethesda's E3 Conference

3. The Story

The Elder Scrolls Blades
Bethesda

As the game's title suggests, you play a Blade, a warrior of the Imperial army, whom players of Skyrim will be quite familiar with.

As well as the roguelike and player versus player modes, there's also one rather prosaically called 'Town', which houses the story and quests of the game. The bulk of Blades centers around rebuilding and upgrading this town via numerous quests in typical Elder Scrolls fashion.

Town-building and decorating is an important mechanic too - Todd Howard states that you can visit others' towns, so there is likely a lot of area for creativity.

I'm based in the UK, looking to make a career out of writing about entertainment and culture. The only thing I like as much as watching films, playing games or listening to music is enjoying as much hummus and crisps as I can while I do so. My favourite film is Eddie the Eagle and I like any game that lets me wander around beautiful worlds (or eat hummus and crisps).
