GameFront, "The Elder Scrolls 5: Skyrim is a big place, full of useless trinkets you can hoard in your backpack. If you’re like many adventurers, generic weapons and gear just aren’t good enough anymore. The best adventurers need the best gear, both unique tools built with your own two hands, or by discovering hidden secret legendary swords. Join our list below to discover the special weapons available in 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
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.
Wabbajack ftw?
As a Kahjit assassin I've been having fun getting 60x sneak attack damage with my dual daggers, but I'm going to restart playing as heavily armored, Smithing and Enchanting Orc with maxed out defense and using badass legendary Two Handed weapons.
