InEnt writes: Aside from Skyrim DLC what should Bethesda be working on with the game? While downloadable content is high on our wishlist after 400+ hours of gameplay, we’d also like to see a few other things improved. There needs to be improvements with Steam’s creation kit community, which still lacks in certain ways when compared to Nexus that seems to engage developers much more. If it’s possible to cut through the red tape and create a dumbed down creation kit for consoles it would be welcomed by most Skyrim fans, which could have limited options like adding trees, furniture and more.
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.
Creation Kit on consoles will never happen, but would be cool.
The steam workshop is great but 100mb size limit on files!? Are they serious? I used to download oblivion mods bigger than a gig - Skyrim's are obviously larger.
Creation kit for consoles would be cool. I think everyone deserves the full experience but the reality is Microsoft just wouldn't allow that sort of ownership between the players and the game. They'd want to charge for every mod downloaded, for every skin retextured or for every unofficial patch installed. There's no point asking for this stuff any more, Microsoft didn't make the xbox to please their fans they made it to get themselves money so don't expect fan service any time soon.
