Interview with Stephen Russell, Actor for (Nick Valentine, Codsworth, My Handy) in Fallout 4 which is a vast open world role playing game set in the apocalyptic wastes of Boston, the Commonwealth. The career goes further with other Bethesda games from Starfield to Prey to The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.
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
These look good. Doesn't even really look like Skyrim anymore

Yes, but when it's like Skyrim and it has fundamental problems(Old engine, bad geometry, muddy textures, shallow combat system) and it relies on mods to fix that, that's not right. Companies should follow the lead of games like Left4Dead2 when it comes to mods.
The base game is near flawless, with some balancing issues they patched later. And the mods merely enhance the experience instead of needing mods to MAKE the experience.
Surely game companies should be head hunting these modders. Those improvements are incredible.
Why is it that games like Skyrim don't look as good as this right out of the box? I'm not saying modders shouldn't exist though, nor am I suggesting that graphics are everything.
Simply mind-blowing. The difference between unmodded and modded is like night and day.
