[QUOTE="EldarOfSuburbia, post: 251748, member: 4106"] They're the company responsible for all the single-player Elder Scrolls fantasy RPGs (Skyrim, Oblivion, Morrowind, Daggerfall, Arena, in reverse chronological order, as well as a couple of minor spinoffs), the two most recent numbered Fallout games, and are the publishers of iD software, who created Doom back in the early 90s and who recently rebooted the franchise. The longer story: The parent company is ZeniMax. Bethesda Games Studios (BGS) are the actual developer studio of Elder Scrolls and Fallout, Bethesda Softworks is the publisher of these titles. They are also the publisher of Doom, developed as previously stated, by iD. As to the games themselves: Skyrim is a single-player open world fantasy RPG, with what you would recognize as a classical Tolkien style setting (with its own lore, races, factions, etc.). It's the fifth Elder Scrolls game, all of which share the same world space and are quasi-related. The first game, Arena, was released in 1992 and Bethesda is responsible for all 5 iterations. There is also Elder Scrolls Online, an MMORPG, set in the same universe but historically different era, developed by ZeniMax. And a couple of platform/dungeon crawler spinoffs from the late 90s. Fallout is a post-apocalyptic shooter/RPG. Originally it was a top-down isometric turn based game far more heavily weighted to D&D style play than the FPS/action RPG it became when Bethesda bought the rights. Thus the first two games in the franchise, and their various spinoffs, are very different from the third and fourth games. Shared world space and lore are pretty much all they have in common. A third game in the Bethesda line, Fallout New Vegas, was developed by Obsidian under license from BSG, and is considered by many to be close-ish to how the original Fallout 3 might have been, at least plot wise. Obsidian are the successors to Black Isle, who developed the original Fallout world and games. (Black Isle were responsible for the classic D&D game Baldur's Gate, and later became Bioware sometime around 2002ish who went on to develop Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, Dragon Age, and Mass Effect.) Doom is Doom. 'Nuff said. Sent from my SM-T710 using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
