The difference between Fable and The Elder Scrolls, though, is that The Elder Scrolls hasn’t gone anywhere. Even though there hasn’t been a numbered single-player entry in The Elder Scrolls in ten years, Skyrim alone is so unbelievably successful that Bethesda hasn’t needed to release a new game. Skyrim just keeps coming back and delivering every time. The success of The Elder Scrolls: Online should also be noted. Even though the main games haven’t been updated beyond a deluge of Skyrim remasters, The Elder Scrolls is going str
A game that is just as creepy as it was when it came out in 1999, System Shock 2 perfectly blends RPG elements with action gameplay into a survival horror sci-fi setting. If players don’t mind some rough graphics and glitches, System Shock 2 is a wild ride with an even wilder st
Aesthetically, the Axe of Disharmony is one of the coolest looking legendary weapons in Fable II. Inspired by the classical shaped Gibson Flying V, the Axe of Disharmony lets out a cacophony of guitar noises as the hero disposes of enemies. This radical, guitar looking axe does the highest damage out of the melee weapons in the adventure Game crafting guide at 99 and has an empty augment slot to outfit as the player plea
Allowing players to recruit enemies could open up for something that MGS5 delved slightly into, but never really got the most out of, outside of a few required missions. An additional risk and reward to consider with taking ex-terrorists like Demens especially, could be the opportunity for these enemies to betray the player. This can either cause an upset that the player then has to head out to and address, or create an entirely new narrative within Death Stranding , where Sam is tasked with finding this person and bringing them b
An oft-overlooked classic example of great Western RPG gameplay, Vampire – The Masquerade: Bloodlines is a wildly fun game that explores the dark world of vampire gangs . For such a cool concept, gamers should be skeptical, but this game is the real deal and utilizes customization and dialogue options to create one of the steadiest RPGs in recent mem
Due to that, many players want some idea as to what they are diving headfirst into. Fable has an abundance of nuance, and it’s easy to miss out on a plethora of gameplay mechanics, story beats, and hidden goodies left waiting to be discove
A unique feature in the Fable series is the ability to have or adopt children. Unfortunately, they don’t grow up to be some of the best characters in the franchise , but they’re vital for the Demon Door in Brightw
This is a bit of a heavy topic for a game to take, but Death Stranding ‘s best moments come from jumping into really tough situations, like Higgs’ backstory and the Chiral Artist’s relationship with the Junk Dealer. The same situation might not work as well with Demens, considering the ideological difference there not being something that can be so easily handwaved with a “because video game” mechanic. However, including these enemies can open up for new options that only some players might even see by the end, but could have a huge impact on the experience and perception of the game wo
Perhaps all the options make the game seem longer in the beginning, especially on subsequent playthroughs. Players were meant to play this game multiple times to experience the different paths. Unfortunately, that can make the intro a little boring after a wh
On the surface, this may seem like a simple feature, but in practice, it can lead to certain NPCs liking you more. In turn, they may be more willing to assist you (similarly to the rather Fable-esque Genshin Impact ). Along the journey, many unique items can be found to give away, or they can be purchased from a local ven
If becoming the most evil super-villain in all of Albion sounds appealing, then the Maelstrom is the weapon to get. Upon sacrificing enough citizens, and eventually the heroes spouse, within the Temple of Light, the power of the Maelstrom will be granted to the pla
The first sections of the game are pretty basic as far a WRPG shooters go with introducing the gameplay and characters, but it is still a bore and tends to drag for the first few hours. After a few more areas of the map open up and cooler guns unlock, the game starts to look more like the Borderlands fans have come to know and l
Throughout the marketing leading up to Death Stranding ‘s release, and within the game itself, Kojima Productions made it perfectly clear that the themes of the narrative are meant to be focused around making connections. In this case, it comes off as strange that players are told to leave the Mules behind due to them becoming addicted to delivering and impulsively trying to steal cargo. Players really should be given the option to help at least these people by taking them back to a city and working them through their addiction before transitioning them towards reintegrating into soci
