What is ESP file?
The ESP file extension is a file type that is primarily used for data exchange between programs written in the Bethesda Softworks' proprietary scripting language, GECK. The ESP file format was created by Bethesda Softworks and its associated tool, GECK. It was later adopted by the Fallout 3 Plugin File (FPF) and other games such as Oblivion. The extension's filename extension was assigned to it by Microsoft as an abbreviation for "Extensible Scripting Platform" which is an API that allows developers to write plugins for their software without having to learn a new programming language. Within the Fallout 3 Plugin File, the protocol is used primarily for data exchange between scripts written in GECK but can also be used by other software that has been programmed to read this protocol.
