Elder Scrolls IV Oblivion Remastered

Alright, now that the leaked images confirm that it is indeed a real thing, I think we can talk about it here.

I've never actually played any of these, even Skyrim. I wanted to play from part 1 but man... that's pretty dated. It's like playing Ultima Underworld again and it's pretty hard to do that in 2025.

Kinda hard to say what the ideal entry point is. Like you said, Arena isn't actually a very good game, so probably not that regardless. Tell you what though, I'll give you some recommendations.

First off, Skyrim is probably the easiest to get into for most people, criticisms towards it from Elder Scrolls fans tend to relate to it being simplified from the previous titles but that's exactly why it's the easiest to get into. You can get the anniversary edition on both GOG and Steam, while I have the GOG version myself note that you can only access "creations" (the officially endorsed mods) on the Steam version.

Secondly is of course Oblivion, it's a little more complicated than Skyrim but not by much. This remaster does seem like a good entry point but if that seems too expensive for what's an old game underneath, the original version with all the DLC is pretty cheap on GOG, right now it's discounted and should be about 5-6 USD.

Morrowind is the earliest you can probably play unmodded without feeling it's too dated. Just be aware that it's not fully voice acted and some aspects of the gameplay may be perceived as overly complicated. However, the modding scene is huge and I'm pretty sure you can fix a lot of the issues by just browsing for mods.

Daggerfall is not a game I can recommend in its original form but there is an unofficial remaster I can recommend. This remaster has mod support and is the one people seem to play most these days. I can even link it, it's free to play:
