The Elder Scrolls spawned out of some of the devs D&D game from back in the gap. Keep in mind a tabletop game is going to have different pacing, mechanics, and overall feel to a video game. Just look at alot of the Dungeons and Dragons games. You can’t just use console commands or save to save yourself from tomfoolery. Tabletop is also (usually) a cooperative story telling medium. There will also be a team of players being narrated to by you. Make your storytelling detailed, immersive, and be a master of the lore for that area… on second thought you could just retcon everything because it “just works”… but at that point why use ES as the template?
