No, but it does enhance the experience. The king that appears in Oblivion is the same king from ES1 and the jail cell you escape from in the beginning is also the same one use escape in that game. You'll also hear people talking about the condition Morrowind has been left in after the end of that game. There's even a series of books in Oblivion that is a continuation of a book series in Morrowind. So while you don't need to know the stories from the previous games to enjoy them, it's just awesome having a knowledge of the back story, and how each country is connected.Do i need to know about the elder scrolls 1 2 and 3 for me to understand elder scrolls 4?10 points?
