XMNR: Following the announcement of the Hearthfire for The Elder Scrolls: Skyrim on Tuesday, Bethesda Softworks released a fact sheet for the house-building expansion that details some of the features and objectives that will be included when it is released to Xbox LIVE next week.
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.
There you go, a random protection type mini quests and multiple house building and animal and fish gathering. And kidnapping
Can you imagine how much they could be improved for the next Elder Scrolls game next gen.
I wonder if they'll let us do this in Fallout 4...creating houses out of tools you find scattered across the wasteland would be amazing. Those silly objects you can pick up will finally have a use. Think of all the variants aswell, if you use Brotherhood of Steel items you can create a stylish/modern home that looks good as new compared to a crappy wooden house you've just quickly put together.
Enjoy it, 360 owners...
and yet no word on dawnguard for playstation 3?this is very frustrating.
PS3 is not getting dawnguard.
The coding is so bad it can barley run the vanilla game.
Not to mention 1.7 does NOT contain trophy support for dawngaurd.
And Pete Hines covered his butt by saying "we never announced it for other systems"
Face facts. Beth sold ps3 owners a broken game and laughed all the way to the bank
