I was reading the April 2017 issue of PC Gamer (Issue 290) and it has a cool article about the history of RPGs. The Elder Scrolls: Arena (1994, Bethesda) The great grandfather to Skyrim, was originally titled Arena and was a combat game, not an RPG. RPG elements were added later in development then it became a single player RPG and the title "The Elder Scrolls" was added to make it sound more like an RPG. The worlds were procedural generated, like it's sequel Daggerfall. The later Elder Scrolls games are much smaller, ditching the huge procedural generated world (Daggerfall is as big as Great Britain! ) for a smaller hand crafted one. But it's cool the original games are so big. My first Elder Scrolls game was Morrowind.
