I don't know how many times I have been angered by people putting down a game because of its graphics. Arena was revolutionary in its day and still manages to be one of the longest and most immersive games ever. You can have a game with great graphics and horrible gameplay or a game with horrible graphics and great gameplay and people will generally choose the high graphic game. Don't judge a game on its graphics. Arena is the first of the Elder Scrolls series. The game is immersive, fun, and long!!! (I can't tell you how many times I have been angered at paying 20 to 50 dollars for 13 hours of gametime.) This game will take a Lonnnnng time to beat if you accept all this game has to offer (sidequests, levelling up, ect.)Arena has the potential to be a great game for you if you give it a chance.
