Games industry honours beloved actor Sir Patrick Stewart, as the legendary Star Trek and X-Men actor passes away

As I'm sure you're all now already aware, legendary British actor Sir Patrick Stewart has died, aged 86. His Instagram account announced the news yesterday, saying he died at home in Los Angeles surrounded by friends and family, following "a brief and poignant journey with Alzheimer's Disease and Lewy Body Dementia".

Stewart, a poised and charming actor, was probably best known for his on-screen roles as Captain Jean-Luc Picard in Star Trek: The Next Generation, and Charles Xavier-slash-Professor X in various X-Men films. But he also enjoyed a long and celebrated career on stage.

Stewart appeared in games, too, most notably in Bethesda's fourth Elder Scrolls game, Oblivion, as Emperor Uriel Septim 7th. He effectively kicked the adventure off, narrating the game's intro with gravitas before appearing as Septim to the player in their prison cell. There, he declared he'd seen the player in his dream and proceeded to let us free.

"I️ was born 87 years ago," Stewart's opening monologue began. "For 65 years I've ruled as Tamriel's emperor. But for all these years I've never been the ruler of my own dreams. I have seen the gates of Oblivion, beyond which no waking eye may see. Behold, in darkness a doom sweeps the land. This is the 27th of Last Seed, the year of Akatosh 433. These are the closing days of the Third Era, and the final hours of my life."

Bethesda, upon hearing of Stewart's passing, posted a picture of Emperor Uriel Septim from the recent Oblivion remaster, alongside the words: "Rest in peace to Sir Patrick Stewart - an emperor, a captain, and an inspiration to us all.
