Dishonored 2 was the real jewel in the crown at the show, with creative director Harvey Smith giving the audience a really good look at Emily Kaldwin, and new city, Karneca. The game will be out on November 11.
There was also talk of Bethesda VR, with the promise of Fallout 4 playable on HTC Vive in 2017.
Card battling game The Elder Scrolls Legends was confirmed for iPhone, Mac and Android and Fallout 4 is getting a bunch of new content allowing players to build vaults, complicated contraptions and take a vacation in the Wasteland, with a snippet of video showing a theme park called Nuka World.
Skyrim Special Edition, a remastered version of the classic Elder Scrolls title, was announced for Xbox One and PS4. As well as being prettier it'll also allow console user access to mods. The Elder Scrolls Online, meanwhile, is headed for Japan and getting new Dark Brotherhood content.
