The game started in the Imperial Prison, but the stone walls were untextured, flat grey boxes. The Emperor, voiced by a distorted, robotic version of Patrick Stewart, walked into my cell.

When I finally stepped out into the sunlight of Cyrodiil, I didn't see the lush green forests of the Heartlands. I saw an endless, flat white plane.
