Counting back, this marks the 65th editorial I (Andrew Otton) have written here at TechRaptor. I’ve talked about health bars, diversity in gaming, and GamerGate. About the IGF, Mighty No. 9‘s community management, and how a gamer’s gender says nothing about their ability to play the game. Imagine if they had been called Editorial XXIII, Editorial XI, and Editorial XLI. Doesn’t tell you a whole lot does it? You do get some sense of what a general approach/what the writing will be as I was the one who wrote it. Maybe there’s something linking it all together with my philosophies, politics, beliefs, etc. However, it’s still not really all that useful. Neither is Final Fantasy XV or The Elder Scrolls VI.

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.
