The Elder Scrolls games are set in Tamriel, a continent roughly the size of Africa, on the planet Nirn. 'TES' or 'ES' for short, the series is renowned for its Wide-Open Sandbox style of gameplay, allowing the player to play as a heroic or diabolical character, to pursue the main quest with vigor or to ignore it entirely, and to gain prowess and fame through working for factions, guilds, military legions, and even the gods themselves. The Elder Scrolls is a massively popular Western RPG series produced by Bethesda Softworks.
