Most Memorable Boss Battles of 2012

Matt Randisi writes, "What makes a boss battle memorable? Some say it’s a blistering and soul crushing difficulty that just makes you dread ever having to fight him/her/it again. Others might say it’s a unique presence that offers something inimitable from otherwise typical fight formulas. The truth of the matter is both are very important. A memorable boss battle is one that comes to mind above others when recalling your time with a certain game because something special made you remember its name or appearance. It is that time again where we take a look back and acknowledge some of the best boss battles in a year of gaming. 2012 was rich with quality titles, and many of them boasted some interesting and challenging encounters."

A lot of the quest lines in Skyrim are good(not all and they don’t add up as a whole if you do thieves guild mage fighters guild etc) The dragons are very lame after the first few times and the combat is clunky as it always has been. The stupid sprint button is ridiculous.

Overall I agree DD is the better rpg game.

Both have theirs strengths and weaknesses but Skyrim should be so much more being the 5th game in Elder Scrolls series.

Excited to see what they add on to DD 2.

Unfortunately all they have done to Elder Scrolls since Morrowind is take things out (minus the sprint button which is so lame because you can kill dragon god like creatures but can’t run for more than ten seconds without getting tired)

I liked the vampire questline and the return to Morrowind was okay, but the problem with Skyrim was the lack of consequence. There is almost no point in the quests. After I realized this, I started messing around with the mods and then quit playing. Though, I did spend 300 hrs. on modded content, but this is telling of how bad the game kind of is.

If DD was the size or close to the size of Skyrim, It would have been the primer fantasy game back then. I hope they up the size with DD2.
