Regions are still fairly self-contained - and depend on which alliance you've chosen - but you finally get a taste of the freedom that has defined the series. For one thing, once you've ploughed through the first two or three areas, you start getting much larger maps to explore. The good news is that the game improves drastically once you get past the lengthy opening sections. So why is it that the first dozen hours of The Elder Scrolls Online felt like such a joyless slog? Totalled up, that's several months of my life immersed in the world of Tamriel in one way or another. The Elder Scrolls was the first game to truly make that happen and I've spent hundreds of hours in each entry as a result. Not just to engage in that battle, but to breathe in the world that was at stake, to visit the blacksmiths, the taverns and towns. I've loved each game in the series, always grateful for the chance to rekindle my still-potent childhood fantasies of stepping into a medieval world where magic and steel were in a constant battle against the forces of darkness. I dread to think how much time I've devoted to The Elder Scrolls over the years.
