The Elder Scrolls Series
This series is well renown for being one of the top RPGs that have had the "Game of the Year" title more often than not. Each game has exactly the same game mechanics, with a few developments n graphics and story-line between each game. The Elder Scrolls Series has the best and most common set of game mechanics that developed closely from early role-playing games, even the majority of tabletop role-playing games.

          - Leveling up character system
          - Inventory system
          - Loot and looting system
          - Character Customization
          - Persistent weapon, armor and skill upgrades
