The Theory That Will Tie All Video Game Stories Together
It's called the Grand Unifying Theory of Video Games, and it ties all games together with a common thread. Yahtzee takes that thread and tries to tie it in a nice little bow.

Up in the northern region of tamriel, reports of a new substance "Blue" similar to "Red" was discovered. This largely inert liquid seemed to do nothing, but flow from the earth, from fonts. That is until it was imbibed by a particularly unlucky sort who always seemed to stumble into trouble always getting into new adventures, he had been mining orricalcum and mythril, his pickaxe struck the wall and out came "Blue" and into his face, during the confusion he accidently swallowed some of it. Later he discovered he had now gained magic from "Blue", he eventually learnt that he had to keep consuming it if he wished to continue to use magic and thus "Blue" was discovered, humans everywhere could now use magic from this several forms of magic formed as well as many different schools. It would eventually come to pass that the summoners school would rule the world. Many sanctions were put in place to limit abuse of magic.
some time had passed and magical technology fuelled the advancement of the world, soon Blue would be found in crystalline form, these came to be known as crystals, materia, soul stones. people soon learned how to harness this new form of "Blue"
Centuries passed without major incident and finally "Blue" was beginning to run in short supply many had started to panic that is until it was discovered that large scale consumption of "Blue" coupled with the mutation properties of "Red" had effectively altered the human race many began to be able to use magic without imbibing "Blue" and some regions even mutated in physical appearance, one race had turned into cat people, another had grown longer ears and seemed to have longer life spans, others degenerated into hideous hulking giants with green skin. another race still grew wings demonic or angelic in appearance others took on radical changes into that of wolves, dragons, mlp fim ponies, even anime characters. These strange events came to a head, the many companies of the world, shinra, mashima zaibatsu, abstergo, umbrella and many others joined together to research this drastic change. after months of research all over the world it is discovered that right around the time the mutations began to happen an impact occurred. the radiation coming from this impact site was non fatal but had triggered the mutations, the companies started surveying the world.
the world had been engulfed entirely by it and the areas of highest radiation the mutation rate was higher. monsters started appearing covering the world so many different kinds, some where intelligent, but most were feral and bestial.
soon many would go out into the world to adventure and hunt these monsters. perhaps these creatures could be culled. If only this was the case, however it was not enough and so the companies decided to research, develop and perhaps use these monsters seeing as no matter how many were killed they kept coming. eventually every city walled itself off.
although small at first, bands of hunters and adventurers of all types formed guilds for the express purpose of adventure and monster hunting eventually petitions would come in to the guilds for missions and so the age of the Guilds was upon us.
things eventually stabilised and people were getting their lives back.
