This article should be called: Skyrim is an RPG. The games in this list are also RPG's.
That's about as far as the similarities go. Different perspectives, different styles of combat, different interpretations of the concept of open world...

The only games they name that actually resemble Skyrim are the ones that were also made by Bethesda. Lazy!

You will buy a pc, if only for work. The thing is the PC is not better or worse than consoles. It's different. Just take a look at RPGs. Those developed for consoles are often fast paced, action rpg's. Those developed of PC are often more tactical and full of micromanagement. (The first are 'dumbed down' and the second are 'tedious and boring' for people who hate nuance)

Which is why having, and gaming on both is the only viable option.

How can people give you disagrees for that? Saying a game is the greatest of all time before you've finished it is fanboyism. You don't know the entire storyline, you don't know all aspects of the gameplay, etc.

Say what you will about the AC series or Ubisoft. The series is relevant. Even this article is a testiment to that.

If you're into scouting players, finding rare gems to transfer and diving into tactics, you'll play football manager. All fifa needs to do is be fun to play with your friends.

I loved Origins as well, and the gameplay in particular. I don't need any sort of sped up-action-y button mashing combo-combat. There are enough of those games being made.

Tactical, thought-through realtime with pause. That's what a true successor to Origins needs!

Well done!

Both Britain, with it's raw industrial cities like Manchester and Liverpool and France with it's idyllic countryside to be a contrast to it's dark poverty-ridden banlieu's have the potential to be great locations.

Read DS2 and, just for a second, thought you were talking about Dungeon Siege.

Guess that makes me a brainless scumbag then. Good to know. For all it's (many) deficits, I enjoyed playing DA (once).
If it hadn't been named Dragon Age we probably would've said it was a decent enough effort.

I played both the witcher games, and the mass effect trilogy, and i liked ME more. TW2's combat system is just not my thing.

More importantly, I can't believe people keep putting Dragon Age up against games like the Witcher and Dark Souls. These games are miles apart in terms of gameplay. So they're all RPG's, that's like comparing FIFA with with NCAA Football saying they're both sports games.

I'll disagree, but simply because I loved the gameplay in Origins (isometric, tactical, not to action-y).

However much I enjoyed the Witcher games, and how immensily (unimaginably, death-defyingly) disappointed (heartbroken and dazed)I was after DA2, I'm still more exited for this than TW3.

The party-based crpg-audience (such as myself) is lookin forward to the real successor to Origins!

We need em stretch goals! Really looking forward to this game, anyone know a release date?

BA: Origins, finally a true successor to DA: Origins.
Seriously tho, interested to see how this turns out.

Hilarious!

Agreeing with you just for the use of clever reference. Big fan of Larian though, go Belgium!

He can't both be libertarian and third way...

It's totally different. Third person, with the fight mechanics focused on the swordplay, much, much more story-driven. You should play TW2 to get a feel for it.

I think this is one of the few fames where brands actually belong in. Corporations and cities co-investing in big projects, the battle to get big corporations to settle in your city, advertising in your streets. To me it would add to the immersion. If only they didn't do it so blatantly with their Nissan-Super-Happiness-Divinit y-Center.

I mean Fifa and FM have always had brands advertising by the sidelines, just like in real life, which is clever and not annoying. They d...
