The original the elder scroll Morrowind, oblivion, and Skyrim as \
to:
The original the elder scroll Morrowind, oblivion, and Skyrim as dark and gritty atmosphere similar to Dark soul and Witcher,

the recurring theme of the Elder scroll game is free will and survival within its universe. so I break it down into categories why elder scroll is considered
as \\\"Dark and gritty \\\"


Doom and gloom,

Within the elder scroll games Morrowind, oblivion and Skyrim environment structure has this malevolent threat that the world is coming to
end by apocalyptic force manifest by supernatural forces or predestined prophecies that involves malevolent beings or an antagonistic army, false gods and denizens
to invade and Tamriel, these themes heavily reflect different religious and pagans views within Tamriel, basically, the original game themes reflect Gnosticism over doom and gloom.

Mysteria and suspense,

As the original games have lore contradictions that are supported by the Unreliable narrator viewpoint (you as the player)
The mysteries of each game are present in shock suspenseful way and the majority has is portray as somber atmosphere over it. All three games feature a sinister mysteries around the themes of the games, the world is going to end and up to you stand to stop it.



Dark fantasy tropes within Morrowind, Oblivion, and Skyrim
the originals game is very similar to witcher and dark souls type of darkness. The Examples dark fantasy tropes within the elder scrolls :
1. assassinations,
2. slavery,
3. murder, Theft
4. racism between men and elves.
5. War,
6. torture people

Mature and violence
The game has a mature rating for the themes, violence, and depictions of spike heads, bodies, and corpse. Decapitations and impalements of bodies within feudal Dark medieval society.
The games Morrowind, oblivion, and Skyrim has a dark fantasy approach intended for adults, They are both of excellent examples of dark fantasies style.

Could someone add or link the elder scrolls Morrowind, oblivion, and Skyrim to the Dark fanstasy tv tropes section as I don\\\'t how to add the section page? Many thanks
