Re: Looking for a Game like X

[(Anonymous)]

I wouldn't say the story is as immersive as Dragon Age, and I'd agree totally that the controls are a bit clunkier. But they are more "real" - you click for each hand, which can only have one item in at a time, you jump and dodge and control everything much more up close than Dragon Age. Which makes it harder, I think, but it's just different and takes some getting used to.

But what really made the game addictive for me was the worldbuilding (I think the map was said to be an equivalent of ten miles long, you don't transport to different areas like DA, you walk through it all). You can really do almost anything. Pick up any item, kill any NPC, get married and adopt children, kill and even ride dragons... it's almost limitless.

If I had to compare, I'd say I like DA better just because I'm a sucker for developed casts of characters. But Skyrim (and its predecessors) are brilliant just for how much you can do. It's an easy world to get lost in and realize you've blown 200 hours into your file, and haven't actually done any of the main quest stuff.

Skyrim is honestly the most playable Elder Scrolls game. I found it the most engaging and the most fun. They really took design lessons from Fallout 3 to heart.

The only other one I played significantly was Oblivion, and whereas I liked it, I do think Skyrim is more playable. Then again, I modded the fuck out of the game so maybe if I tried it vanilla I'd think differently.

Re: Looking for a Game like X

I've played Oblivion vanilla as well as with a bunch of mods and it's mostly just bland slurry. Its biggest improvement over the unplayable mess that was Morrowind was combat that actually relied on player skill in a fully 3D engine.

I've played Skyrim almost completely vanilla (most changes have been purely cosmetic, like music mods and a few new characters.)

My Skyrim mods were mostly cosmetic, too. Changing my adopted orphans into Khajiit children, enhanced character creation plus additional hairstyles/colors to make my hero beautiful, adding capes... though then there were the ones like making my horse essential, because fuck Skyrim's horses running away the moment you dismount them to charge at dragons five miles away.

I just remember Oblivion being incredibly buggy and several quests were impossible for me to complete. Though now that I think about it, Skyrm was probably just as buggy, and even with the patches (unofficial patches too) I still got locked out of a few quests.

I d know that I found the ability tree (is that the right name?)in Skyrim quite impressive and the world does look pretty amazing to me.
