ComputerAndVideoGames.com via NeoGAF, "New Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim details have emerged, covering everything from wielding options to the 13 different types of ore in the game (yes, 13)."
Interview with Stephen Russell, Actor for (Nick Valentine, Codsworth, My Handy) in Fallout 4 which is a vast open world role playing game set in the apocalyptic wastes of Boston, the Commonwealth. The career goes further with other Bethesda games from Starfield to Prey to The Elder Scrolls V: 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.
Yes! I that the economy is complex and that you can affect it. I like that they use the quick travel from Morrowind (have to pay to ride). This is looking sweeter and sweeter. I have to admit, i was worried that they were going to make Oblivion2 since the first sold well. This seems to allow major cutomization, and gives you a huge play ground to do as you please. I am so excited for this game now. Seems like a proper sequel to Morrowind and that is what I was hoping for.
i hope we can find gold nuggets and like melt them in a like a sword shape ya know? that would be cool!
Can't wait for the E3 demo.

Umm....it says there's no hand-to-hand combat anymore. Am I missing something. It's been years since I played Oblivion but wasn't hand-to-hand predominantly the main way to fight people? What's the point of melee weapons if you don't have h2h fighting?
Someone please explain this if I'm missing something here.
Edit: Nevermind. I read a different article that was more descriptive and it made the distinction that it was the H2H "skill" that was removed. Not H2H combat itself.
