Your month of November, 2011, is already planned for you, RPG-fanatic. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, will release on the 11th and you'll be hip-deep in dragons for at least a few months. What's new in this iteration of the popular series, what's back and--hey, what's that NPC doing?
As The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered takes up 125GB, original designer Bruce Nesmith recalls fitting Skyrim into a tiny file size.
Skyrim is still my favorite ES game. I’m playing through it again right now since I never finished it.
Morrowind is by far my favorite. But I’m getting old and played Daggerfall Morrowind and Oblivion before Skyrim
That judicious lack of oversight permeated everything in Bethesda's RPGs, in a positive fashion.
I much prefer a left alone Obsidian and Larian Studios. Bethesda's formula has grown old for me.
Larian hit another level with DOS:2 and then took it even further with BG3. They do high quality work.
I agree, I found it an interesting game. But nowhere near worth the hype (unless you include mods)
Skyrim blew my mind when it released. That game took me to the gaming, promisedland. Going back to it when it was updated for the PS5, it felt slightly rough around the edges, but great for its time
We should leave Obsidian alone. Bethesda on the other hand should be kept under constant psychiatric observation.
Big Bethesda Nintendo Switch eShop sale now live with lowest prices ever for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Doom (2016), and more.
Bethesda games just never cut it for me.
Morrowind, Oblivion, Fallout 3...
But lots of folks like them and they sound like interesting games.
I just can't wait for Skyrim!
You're missing out, Muck. Some amazing free-roaming exploration, combined with all the character customization that a real RPG can give: those are what you find in a Beth RPG.
Of course, you do need a good 80-100 hours to spend. :)
