TESRenewal has released a teaser trailer for its upcoming Skyrim mod that aims to bring the world of Oblivion to Bethesda's latest single player RPG.
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.
god this looks epic
This sorta thing is why I really really need a good gaming PC in my life.
My PC is only good enough to run San Andreas lol, but the mods for that blew me away. I need to get updated..
Seems like a cool project but is it "necessary" though? I mean would the experience of playing this be any different from playing Oblivion seeing as they have very similar features? And if you want a better looking Oblivion you can just mod it instead of remaking/reimporting the whole game.
With that said, I'd most certainly try this out if it's ever finished.
Where's Morrowrim?
Meh. Not really all that impressed. I already have Oblivion looking that good using TPC, AEVWD, TES4LODGEN, ATE-ENB and a few .ini tweaks.
