The Elder Scrolls Travels: Stormhold
_The Elder Scrolls Travels: Stormhold_ is a first-person dungeon crawler RPG.
The player finds himself in Stormhold, a prison run by the lunatic Quintus
Varus and the goal is to defeat the warden before he can fulfil his mad plans
and free the prisoners. As the player explores the corridors of the prison he
will come across enemies that stand in his way. These can be fought in combat
by attacking with weapon or casting a spell. Actions in combat require fatigue
and when the player gets tired he is a less effective fighter. To restore
fatigue, health and magic, the player can choose to camp. If the player is
defeated in combat, he does not die. He just loses some equipment and is
resurrected at the starting point.
The player also comes across NPCs which he interact with using a number of
different commands. This include giving gift items, befriending and
threatening. By doing this the player can affect the amount of aid each NPC
gives. Certain NPCs can also heal, bless and enchant. By finding gift items
the player unlocks more dungeons that can be explored.
Before starting the game, the player gets to choose one of the seven available
classes. These are barbarian, battlemage, knight, nightblade, rogue, sorcerer
and spellsword. Each of these has different skills. The RPG system is similar
to that of other Elder Scrolls games. The player has a number of skills which
he earns experience for as they are used. The player levels up after ten
skills have been increased. A skill can also be improved by meeting one of the
game’s four trainers.
