With Bethesda looking to do away with their proprietary launcher, you can now pick up some of the older or lesser known The Elder Scrolls titles on Steam. Currently, you can grab The Elder Scrolls: Arena and The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall for free, and purchase The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard and An Elder Scrolls Legend: Battlespire for $5.99 or your regional equivalent.
The official descriptions for these games are refreshingly brief:
The Elder Scrolls: Arena
The imperial battlemage Jagar Tharn betrays the Emperor Uriel Septim by imprisoning him in an alternate dimension, then assuming the Emperor’s identity and place on the throne. A lone prisoner must travel to Tamriel’s most famous and dangerous sites to collect the shattered Staff of Chaos, save the Emperor and free the Empire.
The Elder Scrolls II: Daggerfall
The ancient golem Numidium, a powerful weapon once used by the great Tiber Septim to unify Tamriel, has been found in Iliac Bay. In the power struggle that follows, the King of Daggerfall is murdered and his spirit haunts the kingdom. The Emperor Uriel Septim VII sends his champion to the province of High Rock to put the king’s spirit to rest and ensure that the golem does not fall into the wrong hands.
The Elder Scrolls Adventures: Redguard
Tiber Septim has swept through Tamriel, uniting its squabbling lands by force. Even the mighty Redguards of Hammerfell have come under Imperial control. Cyrus, the legendary Redguard mercenary, leads a rebellion against the Empire. Along with a faction known as the Restless League, Cyrus defeats the occupying forces at Stros M’kai and forces Tiber Septim to make peace with the Redguards.
An Elder Scrolls Legend: Battlespire
The Imperial Battle College has lost contact with the Battlespire, an elite training center hidden in a pocket realm of Oblivion. An agent sent to investigate discovers the Battlespire’s staff dead and the gate back to Tamriel blocked With the facility under siege by vile daedra, the only way out is to go deep into darkness and into the Daedric Realms.
