Daggerfall could have also done this by zooming in on the "ll" in "Daggerfall". Although not roman numerals, Morrowind and Skyrim could have done something similar by zooming in on the "M" and "S" in their titles, respectively (although Morrowind would also need to rotate).

Very cool. I forgot that. Arena and Oblivion share that they were “pre-named.” Arena was Arena before it was TES I, and once we decided that the Daedra were from Oblivion, we said 4 would be called Oblivion without having an idea how we were going there

This is subtle foreshadowing that Elder Scrolls V (5), VI (6), L (50), LI (51), and LIV (54) will all also be named Oblivion

Its why ESVI needs to be set in AkaVIr. It makes the most sense.

They should do this again but with the VI in Oblivion, for TESVI
