DAGGERFALL

Sorcerers, seductresses, powerful spellmakers and a menagerie of
pernicious beats will be unleashed as Bethesda introduces its
newest role-playing game, THE ELDER SCROLLS: DAGGERFALL, here at
the Electronic Entertainment Expo (E3) May 11-13, 1995.

Incorporating Bethesda's new full, 3-D X(n)gine(Tm), THE ELDER
SCROLLS: DAGGERFALL promises to redefine the role-playing genre.
Special new features allow players to explore a fully
topographical landscape, create their own characters and interact
realistically with other characters, both in dialogue and action.
For example, if a player's character assists another in some way,
that deed will be remembered later on - even in later games
in the series.

With DAGGERFALL players can explore intricately designed caves,
castles dwellings, highlands and lowlands - and can even travel
underwater or to alternate dimensions. DAGGERFALL can be played
either as a stand-alone product or as a sequel to THE ELDER
SCROLLS: ARENA, wherein players have the ability to "import"
their ARENA character into DAGGERFALL, as well as create potions,
and magic items as an extension of ARENA'S SpellMaker.

"What is wonderful about ARENA and DAGGERFALL is that you can be
and do whatever you want with virtually no limitations," said
Bethesda President Chris Weaver. "Aside from all the
sophisticated technology operating in the background we think
that freedom is one of the most important features of the ELDER
SCROLLS series. The vast detail of the computer world we have
created and the freedom to explore and live an unhindered life
has hit home with numbers groups of "non-standard" role players.
A case in point is the thousands of ARENA users over age 55. We
are very gratified by such cross-over demographics."

In TES: DAGGERFALL Bethesda is also introducing a unique feature
called "ChildGuard", which is a version control function that
allows parents or adults to choose the level of violence,
language and sexual content they will allow children to
experience in the game. Once set, the child is unable to override
the parent's choices, although the parent can change the settings
using a password feature. "We created "ChildGuard" as a
responsible means of allowing the maximum number of people to
enjoy our products in the most appropriate way," said Chris
Weaver, Bethesda's President. "Parents should have the right to
control what their children experience, yet adults should not be
artificially constrained by children's standards. "ChildGuard"
provides that freedom of control."

A relative newcomer to the role-playing arena, Bethesda has taken
the genre by storm. Introduced just last year, THE ELDER SCROLLS:
ARENA quickly gained industry kudos, leading to "Role Playing
Game of the Year" award from COMPUTER GAMING WORLD, COMPUTER GAME
REVIEW, and COMPUTER PLAYER. ARENA was also  recently named the
"Best Adventure Game of the Year" by GAMES MAGAZINE. Praised as
the most realistic and captivating role-playing game on the
market, ARENA elevated the category of fantasy role-playing to a
new level. With the success of ARENA, there has been
extraordinary anticipations for the release of DAGGERFALL.
