GameBlurb: Bethesda loves their PC gamers, and they're making sure that they will be getting exactly what they want.
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.
Happy that they're doing this. Kind of a given, though...
Day one buy for me, if they live up to this.
I am really interested in seeing what they have planned for the modding tools. Will this allow modders to create custom quests, new lands and even bring in new models? Has this ever been done in the past Elder Scroll games?
Awesome. I hope the game will be equally, if not more moddable than oblivion was.
I'll have to settle for a console version myself. That's assuming they fix the bullshit leveling system they had in oblivion. any official word on how the leveling in this game is going to work?
Unique Interface?
Funny, the PC version used to have the "Original Interface". Guess Consoles come first now. Not a bad idea, since if they can optimize for the console versions, the PCs will see the benefit as well as the higher res textures and what not.
