Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

[Wheels]

stealth path with bow and daggers (plus heavy on alchemy, enchanting, illusion and smithing) is ridiculously fun. The Thieves guild side-plot is pretty good as well as the Dark Brotherhood so far (which I just got into at around level 30).

Nightingale Armor is SWEEEEET looking!

Nightingale Armor is SWEEEEET looking!

My son is trying to get that one. He's planning on going the light armor route.

I'm avoiding the main quest. I'm having fun doing all the side quests.

I'm about to start the Dark Brotherhood quest. I think I read that you get a bad ass horse after completing it.

I bought a dog for $500. Brought it to my house and told it to stay. A few days later the little fucker ran back home. I want my money back!

^ I think you can get that one on jlist.



KOTOR - Knights of the Old Republic 1 & 2, acclaimed Star Wars games for original Xbox made by BioWare and Obsidian.

If you took KOTOR 1 and stretched it out by increasing the area sizes by 10x, adding ten "kill twenty rats" quests for every story quest, and put it online with graphics from 2007, you'd get The Old Republic for $15/month. It's not bad as far as MMO's go, not great in terms of RPG, but pretty decent overall as a time killer.

I guess the reason I like it is you can play through the game solo and only team up with (up to three) other people for group-specific quests, which is a nice system. It doesn't force you to join huge guilds and have to deal with loads of people at once.

BioWare spent several years developing TOR and setting up servers. Right now it seems that there are too many servers since you don't run into a lot of other people when you are playing. Usually on any world you land there are between 8-25 other people depending on the time of day--which at this point is a good thing since the game has a tendency to chatter a bit when there are other players about.

BioWare was once the golden child of game developers, making some seriously fun and interesting games, but have in recent years become the bloated, lazy, money-hungry studio that they once antithesized. Seems like Valve is the only company out there still carrying the flag but if they get any slower with their release times they actually won't put out anymore games.

I'll pass. I'm not a fan of the games that make ya pay $$$ per month to play.

i guess that is good news but it is overshadowed by the announcement that elder scrolls, predictably, is going online next year

I havent beaten Skyrim's main storyline still (I stopped playing around December) Now I have to decide whether to pick up where I left off or start over and throw away the almost 70 hours I put into the other character.

I havent beaten Skyrim's main storyline still (I stopped playing around December) Now I have to decide whether to pick up where I left off or start over and throw away the almost 70 hours I put into the other character.

I got to the point where I could kill just about anything without too much trouble, and I started thinking about alternate builds, and then I ... stopped playing.

I'm looking forward to Diablo III next week, and I've been playing Crusader Kings II and Dungeons of Dredmor the last few weeks.
