I'm inclined to disagree with you. I think recent Elder Scrolls games are still amazing achievements at offering the amount of freedom and vastness that you saw in their older titles. While its list of features has slowly been shrinking I think what makes an Elder Scrolls game is not the depth...

You're probably right, I just never heard much love for the character. I always thought people disliked GTA4 in part because Niko's such an 'out there' character and an odd choice for a protagonist. I definitely had to get used to it upon first playing the game. But then again, who could resist...

Niko Bellic from GTA4. Well written, very unique character who's personality contrasts in a good way with all the crazies in Liberty City. Ashley Williams from the original Mass Effect. She's one of the most realistically portrayed characters in videogames as far as I'm concerned. She really...

Agreed! I'd go so far as to say it's some of the most fun I've ever had in an RPG. I was particularly impressed by the worldbuilding but the story and presentation are close seconds.

Happy New Year everyone! 4 hours to go over here but you couldn't tell from all the fireworks. Enjoy the festivities!

I'm in your boat OP, never been much for strategy games because, well, I'm really bad at them. But just for us I think Civ V is an amazing game and easily the best strategy game I've played. It's very accessible for new and non strategy players with a surprising amount of depth that you start...

- Assassin's Creed is up there with Shadow of the Colossus (while AC2 and beyond are mediocre action games) - Morrowind/Elder Scrolls has one of the best fantasy worlds ever created - Dragon Age 2 is one of my favorite RPG's (while the first one was a bore) - Niko Bellic is one of the...

Assassin's Creed. The potential is enormous but every entry so far has been plagued by awful design decisions.

Niko Bellic is a flawed character in a lot of ways. On the one hand he's tormented, cynical and violent and on the other hand he's gullible and socially clumsy. I'd say he's a very well written character with more weaknesses than strengths.

That's really well said and I agree on every point. It's great to see a lot of people like Morrowind for the same reasons I do. It gives hope for another Elder Scrolls like it (though Oblivion and Skyrim are both amazing in their own right).

Animal Crossing has a great sense of time. A lot of its gameplay mechanics directly involve time and NPC's actually acknowledge game time passing. If you take 5 hours to do a small chore for an NPC they will ask you why it took so long. If you don't play for a week and then come back they will...

Morrowind. It's such a shame that they went back to more contemporary medieval settings with Oblivion and Skyrim because the imaginative and almost alien world of Morrowind did wonders for its atmosphere.

I can't help but feel sorry for Sony every time I read news like this. Of the big three I probably like them the most yet they've become the underdog this generation and just seem to struggle to stay alive with every move they make. Here's hoping they'll be able to pick up their game (no pun...

Count me in! And also: I love you guys!

It really is a beautiful game, isn't it? What they've managed to create using Oblivion as a foundation is mind blowing. There's such detail in every single corner of the world and the entirety of it just oozes atmosphere. It might be the best depiction of a medieval fantasy setting I've ever...
