Bethesda Softworks has today released the PC version of the latest official downloadable content (DLC) pack for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Dragonborn. Also launching this month on PlayStation 3, via the PlayStation Network, the critically acclaimed Dragonborn takes The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim players to a brand new land, and a new realm within.
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.
Thanks Bethesda for sticking to only two timed exclusives for Xbox as was the agreement /s
It says it will unlock in 5 hours on the UK steam?
If you have a PC then there is no reason to get Skyrim or its DLC anyway. Just re-play an Elder Scrolls game that doesn't suck instead.
