I’m looking to get into the Elder Scrolls franchise, you see I’m new to the franchise and I’ve been keeping my eye on Bethesda’s newest title the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Safe to say I’ve been doing my homework so I wouldn’t get Review-itis (a reference to my previous article).
In doing my homework I came across an IGN review of the game done by Charles Onyett and I was disapointed by what I heard. He talked about the games 3rd person view and how the game animations were a bit off. You may ask, SchollA why are you disappointed? The game is made to be played in first person. Aha now that’s where I have to explain my background.
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.
