By this point in The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim’s life cycle, it’s received numerous patches to help fix some major problems with the game, three pieces of DLC in the form of Dawnguard, Hearthfire, and Dragonborn, but mostly importantly, it has won multiple Game of the Year awards from publications around the world. - PSLS
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.

I was wondering when we'd hear about something about a GOTY edition.
About time, ive been expecting this for a long time
Does this mean there will be no more DLC?
Looks like I'll be trading in my standard copy and getting the GOTY edition for the DLC. Saw this coming from a mile away.
