How high the mountains of Skyrim rise...
The freedom to explore large areas, approach objectives in multiple ways, and stumble across amusing distractions will always be an excellent format for video games, but some do it better than others. To celebrate the formula and parse the best from the best, have a look at the best open-world games of all time so far.
The developers of Lordbound increased the scope as they became more familiar with the Creation Kit and got inspired by the original Skyrim.
Created by Bethesda Softworks, The Elder Scrolls is hailed as one of the most groundbreaking RPG franchises.
I still really wanna get into this game. I've tried a few different times. Nothing against the game but for some reason I lose interest quickly. I much prefer fallout and probably starfield whenever it drops. I still have skyrim for a rainy day though installed
I saved the Dragonborn expansion till last year but still haven't fully completed everything on one game file/trophy case since vanilla completion on 360. I ended up ruining my first Elden Ring run because it made me feel like playing Skyrim so I dropped a random 30 hours doing... stuff. I think the only titles that could take its place as the game I always go back to would be official Fallout 3 and/or Vegas remasters.
The game sucks. It is a bad game from the story to the combat. The only thing saving this is mods and that is not even Bethesda at this point.
I feel that for Bethesda games, the gameplay is not keeping up with the competition. The combat for example is really stiff and lack any impact, compare it to Horizon for example and Skyrim pales. The best part about the Elder Scrolls is the lore, but the tech is to old at this point. I could not go back to it.
Sounds like me and Fallout 3.. you know, the game that Bethesda won't release a million times, lol
