Top 5 things Skyrim should learn from Dragon Age II (and vice versa)

My son came into the room the other day while I was playing Dragon Age II, asked me why I was still playing The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, and walked out. That got me thinking: “Why am I playing this old, non-award-winning game with a host of flaws in it instead of a new, award-winning one with a host of flaws in it?”

While I like them both, I would really like one giant mashed-up uber-game, if you will. Here's what Skyrim could've learned from Dragon Age II (and vice versa).

Agreed on the voice acting. Although Skyrim does a better job than Oblivion, there are still a lot of noticably repeated voice actors and lines.

uh ? you wanna argue about skyrim's lack of backgrounds diversity and colors ?

Seriously after the mess that DA2 had with reused tilesets from the beginning of the game till the end ? Even the ennemies keeps repeating themselves tirelessly .

Skyrim did a great job showing a few lush , varied and colorful environnements , despite being set in a cold north setting

Vice versa does not mean what you think it means.

That’s just laughable to me. I think they’ve squeezed all they can out of an 12 year old game

"Easily" because they see mods, says the gamer. To heck with licensing, terms agreements conditions, etc. all you need to do is belive in mods. Yeah, so real superficial BS yo.

Do people not want to play a new game? Like, I’d rather see 6 than just a prettier version of a game we’ve been playing since the 360/PS3 gen…

Yes please. Did pretty much everything there was to do in this game. Took a very long time and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Skyrim is one of my all-time favorites, but I would prefer a new experience.

They might as well. So far, it looks like ES6 will be mostly developed by AI.

I don't want a next-gen version of a game I've already played to death. Skyrim was a great game, but I'm over it.

I'm Replaying Skyrim (again), and So Should You

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.

anast72d ago

I tried, but it's a poorly made game that insults its customers.

lucian22972d ago

nah, only mods make it decent, and even then it's bad, and this is after i modded for at least 3 years

Nittdarko72d ago

Funnily enough, I'm about to play it for the first time in VR with 1000 mods to make the game playable, as is the Bethesda way
