Gamespy: Bethesda is promising to deliver its biggest and best open-world adventure yet when The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim launches on Friday, and while we've already donned our horned helm and Gauntlets of Mouse Clicking in anticipation, we've also got a few questions about the RPG that have us concerned TES 5 won't be everything it's cracked up to be.
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.
Nonono. You don't need no literature! All you need is to FEEL IT! Seriously guys, this game is gonna kick ice!

My only concern is since this game is so new there wont be any wiki guides on bug workarounds. Other than that just give me the game & leave me alone for a month or two :)
Pretty legitimate concerns, although I have faith in Bethesda . my main issue would have been with bugs, but with this new system they've developed, I don't see how there could be a lot of problems. :D
I've bought every major Bethesda release in the last 5 years and i've yet to be affected by any serious game breaking bugs. Must just be lucky.
