One of the main features ofThe Elder Scrollsgames, be it the mainline games orThe Elder Scrolls Online, have arguably a very distinctive feature, and that is the fact that players can make very unique characters while first playing.Skyrimis a great example of this logic, and it is still going strong even after almost 10 years since its release, in November 2011, andElder ScrollsOnlineis also constantly pulling good numbers of active players. WhileSkyrim’s graphics may seem a bit outdated to some by now, the game has always enjoyed the support of its dedicated modding community, and thus there are plenty of mods to make new and old characters look fantastic and have a plethora of new customization options.
On the other hand,The Elder Scrolls Onlinetoo manages to allow players to create consistently great characters both when they are first created, and also later on when more customization options become available. All of this bodes very well for whatThe Elder Scrolls 6will eventually bring to the table, especially with the improved graphics and performance of the next-gen consoles—specifically, the Xbox Series X/S. Still, withThe Elder Scrolls 6likely being years away from now, RPG fans and those who love the series should look no further thanSkyrimandElder ScrollsOnlineto make great characters and enjoy the experience each game has to offer.
