IM PLAYIN discuss customisation in games.
It has been ten years of the franchise and a celebration is planned.
It's been almost 10 years since we first stepped foot in Ubisoft's extraction shooter, The Division and it looks like the developer will celebrate by giving fans a chance to replay the experience in "definitive edition" form.
Although the sequel is on the near horizon, the original Dragon's Dogma Dark Arisen remains a fantastic action RPG, still worth playing.
A lot of the quest lines in Skyrim are good(not all and they don’t add up as a whole if you do thieves guild mage fighters guild etc) The dragons are very lame after the first few times and the combat is clunky as it always has been. The stupid sprint button is ridiculous.
Overall I agree DD is the better rpg game.
Both have theirs strengths and weaknesses but Skyrim should be so much more being the 5th game in Elder Scrolls series.
Excited to see what they add on to DD 2.
Unfortunately all they have done to Elder Scrolls since Morrowind is take things out (minus the sprint button which is so lame because you can kill dragon god like creatures but can’t run for more than ten seconds without getting tired)
I liked the vampire questline and the return to Morrowind was okay, but the problem with Skyrim was the lack of consequence. There is almost no point in the quests. After I realized this, I started messing around with the mods and then quit playing. Though, I did spend 300 hrs. on modded content, but this is telling of how bad the game kind of is.
If DD was the size or close to the size of Skyrim, It would have been the primer fantasy game back then. I hope they up the size with DD2.
No absolutely not that's the craziest thing I've ever read , at the end of the day people are playing the game because of the solid content and design , not because of customization features
Customization is far more important in RPG titles, that's for sure- i'd say it certainly enhances and adds a personal touch to any main character, now of course there are those heavily directed characters like Geralt of Rivia, Nathan Drake etc. that just wouldn't be the same without their tell-tale faces, but there are plenty of games that could work better with the ability to customize.
Assassins Creed games for example- rather than having to make painfully annoying characters they could just add in more choice, customization of features, general skills/style and hey presto we've got a much more interesting and intriguing character because of a few rpg elements; doesn't excuse Ubisoft's lack of originality from each game though :p
So, while i wouldn't say it's make or break, it'd be a welcome feature in most games with any degree of freedom, where you aren't tied to the railroad, the supporting cast is just as important as the main character these days- why not focus on them?. (not in the awful way like DA:Inquisition though *shudders*)
