Other digital video game applications from Bethesda Softworks that can be used to create and load these ES saved game files are The Elder Scrolls 3 (Morrowind), The Elder Scrolls 4 (Oblivion) and The Elder Scrolls 5 (Skyrim). The content of an ES file includes gameplay settings and configurations specific to the status of the character used by the gamer and completed quests by the user, the author of the corresponding ES file.

These ES files can be created by saving the progress of your character during gameplay. These digital video game titles were developed for Microsoft Windows-based systems.

what is a file extension?

A file extension is the set of three or four characters at the end of a filename; in this case, .ess. File extensions tell you what type of file it is, and tell Windows what programs can open it. Windows often associates a default program to each file extension, so that when you double-click the file, the program launches automatically. When that program is no longer on your PC, you can sometimes get an error when you try to open the associated file.
