A Definititive TES Collection

Y-y-y-e-s-s Momma" "You'd better Bobby Booshay!"

i agree it screwed up MW2 and Empire total war

It forces to me to connect to the internet when installing games. Not only is that annoying, but it also leaves me feeling [censored]. Probably due to my PC's lack of Anti-Virus. See, I live in such a medieval area, no internet provider possesses support for 64bit. While it's probably just in my head, I do not feel safe with connecting myself to the internet with an unprotected computer. Furthermore, if I buy the damned CD copy, which I always do, I do not expect it to require a cursed internet connection.

It also bloats my screen on start-up, with an extra pop-up. The Rockstar Social Club can be tolerated, but that's probably because it causes more good than it prevents. Steam, on the other hand, does not. Fortunately, the two games I bought were of no importance to me, being either short, albeit pleasant, one way plays, or morbidly bad ports from an expensive paperweight, with mind-numbingly bad driving mechanics, that I only purchased to soothe the pain I experienced while waiting Ballad of Gay Tony's release on PC. Game that I ended up buying, along with the expensive paperweight in question.

Both problems easily remedied. First, get a free anti-virus like AVG (Or buy one if "free security" doesn't sound right to you). Next, learn how to remove unnecessary programs (and extra services if you wanna live on the edge) from start up. Go to run>MSconfig>start up unclick any thing that isn't needed (do the same with services, after clicking Hide all Microsoft Services, but you might want to find out what each service does so you don't remove your sound drivers on accident).

As for the topic on hand, I'd love to get a physical copy of Daggerfall/Arena. Being able to finally playing Daggerfall (and seeing what all this hubbub was about) was nice, but having the CD and other miscellaneous contents would be neat. I also wouldn't mind getting Redguard and Battlemage, since physical copies are ridiculously expensive, and they haven't been released for free yet (hint hint Bethesda).

Can't speak to the nudity, they can edit it (those that place value on such things will inevitably mod it back in anyway), but a simple launcher program could be created to run the older games. Lucasarts did it with the X-Wing/Tie Fighter franchise.

I personally don't think the soccer moms will even notice a re-release of old games they ignored in the first place anyway, but what the heck, get them re-rated as M anyway. We all know what's in them, so I don't think it would put off most of the TES faithful anyway.


The Windows versions of X-Wing and Tie fighter were actually recreated versions using the XvT engine. The original DOS versions were never made to run natively in windows. Would be too hard for Beth to recreate native windows versions of elder scrolls I & II.

Well, I haven't played Battlespire or Redguard. I certainly would like to see those in the collection.

I'd like it if Bethesda could come out with a collection containing Arena, Daggerfall, Battlespire and Redguard, but with all of them made to work on modern operating systems.
