BNBGAMING.com, being composed entirely of chronic Skyrim addicts, has jumped the inevitable announcement and compiled a list of the six features we’d like in The Elder Scrolls VI. What do you want to see?
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.
I agree with these six but I actually want more of an RPG experience. I actually am having more fun with dragons dogma than with skyrim. Maybe it's the non scaling world which allows u to level up and become a bad ass. Maybe it's the distinct classes. As was mentioned, by the end I had 100 in almost every skill, was the leader of every faction. I also love parties and taking care of multiple players. Open world is cool but I like knowing that u can't go certain places yet or u will get owned. Also, more loot to customize yourself with. If There's online, u want to stand out. Maybe dies or something. And, as DD has shown, end game content is awesome. FF13 had endgame monsters and it was the beat part. Maybe some aide quests post game with crazy hard enemies. And, I hate being able to change the difficulty. Have different difficulties that remain once u choose it, or have one difficulty with a ng+ That's harder and has more loot. I agree with the online aspect. Maybe I love DD so much because it matters how good ur pawn is because others use him/her. And u can trade weapons and armor. The community is enhanced because u interact. Also, the online creature that u team up to kill is brilliant.
Skyrim to me is like a huge playground. U can do whatever u want, but There's little satisfaction outside of the freedom. It's time to move forward. I always wondered how good an RPG Bethesda/bioware could make. But, while I think it would be a huge open world with an astonishing story and character development, it may still wind up short as an RPG. But it would b nice time c. Imagine the hype for that game.
Great article. I haven't played hours and hours of Skyrim like others but I agree with these points.
How about the ability to actually finish quests? That would be a nice improvement. I downloaded that last patch, noticed I still had quests in my log that were actually done, and shortly ran into another quest that I can't finish because the creature I'm supposed to kill won't spawn. Guess I'm stuck as a werewolf forever, and I don't even use the ability so all it does is keep me from getting good rest. Developer of the Year... HA!!!
I can name one improvement.
A WORKING GAME.
