Of course, any writing team could still make this work. Yes, there are storylines from the games that would be fun to tell onscreen, but most of that material is fragmented across different lands and time periods. Most of the writing will be original, which could go either way.
Any Elder Scrolls series will have the history and lore to back it up, but there won’t be a story that’s already been thought through for the writers to adapt in a straight-forward way. Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire novels, House of the Dragon will be based on his Fire & Blood, which reads more like a history book than a novel.
While the original series was based on George R.R. HBO may have a similar problem on its hands with House of the Dragon, its follow-up to Game of Thrones. Although adapting The Elder Scrolls would mean an established fanbase, history, lore, settings and characters, it’s hard to compete with the rich dialogue and development of a full-fledged book series. However, it’s much more difficult to adapt a series like The Elder Scrolls than it was to adapt The Witcher, because while CD Projekt Red put that series on the map in the United States, the show is actually based on Polish author Andrzej Sapkowski’s Witcher novels, which were around long before the games. Ritchtman reports that Netflix wants its Elder Scrolls to be just as or more popular than The Witcher, which is set in a world that was already well-known thanks CD Projekt Red’s hugely successful Witcher video games.
