Favourite things about Skyrim
| Todd, my buddy. It's about time you show up again and remind us how great Skyrim is.
| Todd its been some time since skyrim vr was released when is the special special gotc edition comming out?
| I played skyrim a ton until I figured out how to have infinite magic, at which point there wasn't a whole lotta reason to continue.
| >only 3 attributes
| Please wisper that sweet little lies in my ear
| Filling it with mods you won't even use
| The exploration, and finding new places and loot.
| Those times when you see a random dragon skeleton dancing halfway above the ground because colission models are fun.
I'm not complaining Todd, it's fun
| I love how I crash after playing for an hour, it's a great upgrade to those annoying messages other games have about taking a break! ^_^
| Skyrim was fun, but not a good elder scrolls game.
The perk system was really dumb, you can't sprint and jump, you can't jump and attack, and even though there are underwater enemies, you can't attack underwater.
This was also when Bethesda started to get lazy with npc dialog options. In their previous games, there was always at least one dialog option for each npc. With Skyrim, there are many characters that you can't even talk to.
| >>129158 there will never be good elder scroll/fallout game from bethesda after skyrim. They are at the state in which they can release a buggy game with subpar story and still be well received.
As long as there's modding community, they realize that they can get away with a lot of things. Expect more barren open world and more generic story from their next titles at this point, they'll just focus on improve the graphics a bit and strategy in re-releasing a game a bunch of times

Pretty much exactly my thoughts as well. What frustrates me most though, is the lack of alternatives. The only other open world fantasy RPG game I've played is the Witcher 3, and despite all the praise it receives online, I didn't enjoy it at all. I actually ended up uninstalling it after around 15 hours.
Elder scrolls seems like such a generic idea for a game, but disappointingly there is nothing else like it.
| The fact that you could crouch in front of an enemy and still be hidden
| Climbing while riding a horse. Obviously.
| BUCKETS!!B
| HD rumble lockpicking on the Switch version is amazing
| I made my own camping challenge using a few survival mods, so sometimes I go on backpacking trips across the Rift trying to brave the elements. Alongside my various nature mods, it's quite the experience.
| my favorite part was when i kept losing my save and i played the horse carriage intro like 30 times
| Mods lol
| >tfw only Skyrim modders know what CBBE is
| Cbbe is where it's at, UNP is ridiculous
| Flat is justice
| Turning the gameplay into Dark Souls before Dark Souls became a meme.
| Not playing it
| >>130903
I've never played it, but I have one friend that's really obsessed with it. Would you recommend it anon?
| I have never played Skyrim, do i get to be burned like a witch?

I would, even without mods. It's basically RPG combat done right- although the story is typical JRPG fluff and is *mostly* passable (at least, unless you're interested in deciding who your in-game waifu becomes, in which case, look up the details on the wiki. It changes the ending slightly.)
Pick it up on Steam during a sale, but be warned- there is *one* bug that affects people- if you have like 300+ steam friends and several of them have the game, it may lag in the
| screen where you select/recruit new "pawns" (your AI controlled party members, which are made by other players). If you don't have an autistic number of "friends," much less friends who all have the game, this won't apply to you- in fact it shouldn't apply to most people.
I also strongly suggest getting a guide- not for spoilers, but to make sure you complete all the quests you like per arc before they're locked out. Like old games, the game doesn't really warn you before you
| play a "main quest" that moves the plot forward, but you can get a list of this really easy, just so you can be sure to play everything you want. Also keep in mind that even on normal mode, dying is kind of brutal in the game, and there are certain non-boss enemies that are intentionally stronger than you, but beatable if you're smart.
Unlike Skyrim where you feel like some kind of god in a spergy Mary Sue OC fantasy, Dragon's Dogma makes you feel like a regular person, albeit
| So yeah, if you like difficult games, then you'll like Dragon's Dogma. Also... mods. But not necessary to enjoy the game. Also, Capcom knows how to bugtest shit, unlike Bethesda.
| I should also note that it's an action RPG, not turn based, but sometimes it can feel turn based since in order to survive against mobs that can one shot you with one well placed power attack, you'll be doing a lot of dodging, blocks, counters, and etc.

Thank you so much for the detailed description! I've downloaded it already and I'll get around to playing it when I have some more free time.
| It's a shame you can't download the japanese voice pack on Nintendo Switch...
