Kotaku:
Last year, intrepid tinkerers on the PC version of Elder Scrolls V found the game didn't just include the landmass of Skyrim. You could also, with a little work, visit other parts of Tamriel, like Morrowind and Cyrodiil, the settings of Elder Scrolls III & IV respectively.
Replaying Skyrim after 13 years is a reminder of the progress made in western RPGs over the last decade, but also what's been lost.
RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.
"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!
How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera
And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden
Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.
Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.
Pity.
A new Partner Spotlight Sale is now live on the Switch eShop, including Skyrim, lowest price ever for Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, and more.
Hopefully they do end up using them as I would love to see the other provinces with better graphics and updated to the current time (In terms of the happenings in tamriel)
What if some dragons got bored and went to Morrowind?
What if there's a Alduin's horcrux(lol) in Cyrodiil?
If they make this dlc i'll go crazy :/
I'm really just hoping for some unique DLC. I'd pay a few bucks for a crossbow at least.
They should have put a bare-bones town out on one of them, but put it behind a mountain so it can only be seen by hacking. You know, just to REALLY screw with peoples' heads.
Bottom line is they had to put something out there so people weren't looking out into blackness. They could have just used a big image map instead, but it would have killed the sense of reality. So they just dumped very plain land masses out there.
The fact that they or modders could possibly actually use them is just a fringe benefit.
They would have my Money!! if Possible to go to other provinces
