I got my start in TES I: Arena, and I've been on the ride through Tamriel ever since. I don't agree with every point this guy makes, but I think this video is worth the time of anyone with any interest in the Elder Scrolls' history as a game series.

I'll probably watch this later. I have a strong affection for ES, but it gets harder over time to remain invested as it increasingly represents wasted potential to me.
Wasted potential? If you mean the older games, they did quite a bit with what they had to work with.
No, I mean the newer stuff and the way bethesda seemingly wants to turn the games into as generic and broadly marketable of a fantasy as they can, at the expense of the really weird stuff that made it stand out as a setting.
I agree there.
One of the chuddiest chuds I know long complained about how Morrowind was "too ethnic" (his words) and "too political" but absolutely adored Skyrim. He needed the naked/harem mods and "less ethnic" mods of course. :le-pol-face:
