Prime Gaming Will Feature The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion as Its Free Game for April, Includes Many Other Perks
There will be a ton of perks for all types of gamers in April’s Prime Gaming lineup. Its headliner is definitely The Elders Scrolls IV: Oblivion. This classicopen-worldRPG was released back in March 2006, a full 5 years beforeSkyrim.
Do note that the specific version being offered on Prime Gaming isn’t quite 100% clear yet. According to the Prime Gaming blog, the included game will be Oblivion - Game of the Year Edition Deluxe. However, the banner image only specifies Game of the Year Edition - no Deluxe mentioned. So, what’s the difference?
Prime Gaming and Oblivion
Oblivion is definitely a classic game, and one beloved by many. The predecessor to Skyrim was able to create a fully breathing and open world with unprecedented freedom. Oblivion pioneered the “Radiant AI” system that stepped up the NPCs from the previous game, Morrowind. This system added NPC routines so they actually had places to go and didn’t stand in place 24/7.
The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion was one of the first games ever to announce DLC for a videogame. Who can forget their famous Horse Armor release? Bethesda released a total of 10 DLC for the game, including the Horse Armor.
The Deluxe and Regular Game of the Year Editions
Eventually, the company released the Game of the Year Edition and the GoTY Deluxe Edition. The former package included the base game as well as the Shivering Isles and Knights of the Nine expansions. These two were substantial updates to the game that added multiple questlines, new continents, characters, enemies and weapons.
On the other hand, the Deluxe Edition included all of the DLC released. These are the rest of the contents available in this package, and what they are:
The Rest of the Pack
As mentioned, there will be a total of 8 games in this month’s offerings. Quoted from the official Prime Gaming site are the rest of the games:
This small selection of indie games (sans Monkey Island and Plants vs Zombies) definitely looks interesting. The most interesting for RPG fans would be Nanotale - Typing Chronicles.
Nanotale is a top-down colorful RPG that looks to forego the usual battle mechanics. Instead of gathering XP points, Rosalind our protagonist grows stronger as she collects knowledge. As she is a novice Archivist, all info she gains is useful and can prepare her to meet the outside world.
Lost Ark Prime Gaming Freebies
Of course,Lost Arkwill be getting more attention again this April as it is Amazon themselves that publishes the game in the west. This April, Lost Ark players will receive the Prime Gaming Raptor Mount Pack. This will contain 5 days of Crystalline Aura, Amethyst Shards and a Silver Combat Raptor Mount.
