6 Reasons Why Everyone Loves The Elder Scrolls Games
4. There's A LOT Of Content
Lots of games have open worlds; it's a common trend nowadays. But when it comes to giving players a lot of stuff to do, no game sets the benchmark like The Elder Scrolls.
Simply walking from one end of the map to the other could take well over a couple of hours, barring any of the dynamic events that can occur along the way and you stopping to see any of the diverse locations sprinkled around it.
In the most recent mainline title, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, there are over 300 locations to discover. That's a lot of dungeons to crawl through, cities to walk around in and landmarks to discover.
Many are fully-fledged dungeons with enemies, loot, traps and puzzles all their own. Some are cities full of people to talk to and quests on which to embark, taking you to even more places to discover. And those are just the locales. The Elder Scrolls games each have a lengthy main quest, multiple and guild questlines which take dozens of hours each and feel like wholly independent stories in their own right.
There's just so much to do in all of these games, you could find yourself lost in them for hundreds of hours on end and still find more to do. From a purely fiscal perspective, I'd say that makes these games worth buying just for the amount of time you get for your money.
