:fallout: :tes:

I usually end up comparing other RPGs I play to Elder Scrolls in some way, and for good reason. Fantastic Job Beth. :tes:

Completely agree. There are very few developers these days still making really high quality games because that's what they love doing. Most games these days are just recycled cash grabs.

These guys know how to make a game. Can't wait for Skyrim. :tes:

This is why I wan't to work there once I'm through school. Fallout 3 wasnt exactly the best looking, or most advanced, and the game engine was pretty old. But they were giving it a good effort. Oblivion was fantastic, and now Skyrim is on the Creative engine. They just are a great company, and I agree that their games are among the ones with the most care put into them. Few other games of this scale are designed in as much details as these guys put forth. :thumbsup:

It won't utilize many of the DX11 features. However, I'm sure this won't stop modders from making content that activates features of DX11 to run on Skyrim.

The problem with Bethesda is that no one even tries to compete with them. Rockstar has similar vision, but is pretty decidedly part of the "mainstream" market. Because of this lack of competition, they are happy to just be the best, rather than the best that they can be.

Franchises like Two Worlds don't have the experience or money to try and make a game on the level of quality of the Elderscrolls, but their ambition alone is impressive.

And whereas that game and Gothic are made for more traditional RPG fans, Elderscrolls continues to cater to a larger, more varied demographic. Which is never a bad thing on it's own, but when you sacrifice complexity and depth to achieve accessibility, you risk upsetting those fans looking for a more undefined experience.

Agree. I found Oblivion a little dissapointing after Morrowind, and still it has to be one of the games I've played most. The sheer size and scope of Bethesda games is incredible.

Skyrim appears so far to have taken good stuff from all the previous games, avoided the less good stuff, and adds a whole lot of new twists.

Thank you Black Isle/ Obsidian for FO1, FO2, FONV! (Haven't played tactics)

Thank you Beth for TES! And a return to Fallout through FO3.

Brown-nosing complete!


Agree with keltic Viking that Two Worlds developers are really trying and Gothic and (The one where you kick everything?) are great fantasy games.
