Heavily Modded gameplay of The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. Quick runthrough of Redwater Den, a dungeon that is part of the Dawnguard DLC.
A great example of the close-knit Skyrim modding community!
Replaying Skyrim after 13 years is a reminder of the progress made in western RPGs over the last decade, but also what's been lost.
RPGs are often huge, sprawling endeavours. With limited playtime, we have to choose wisely, so here's the best western RPGs available today.
"I started playing games yesterday" the List... Meh!
How about a few RPGs that deserve some love instead?
1 - Alpha Protocol - Now on GOG
2 - else Heart.Break()
3 - Shadowrun Trilogy
4 - Wasteland 2
5 - UnderRail
6 - Tyranny
7 - Torment: Tides of Numenera
And for a bonus game that flew under the radar:
8 - Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden
Not only glorious jank, but the idea that the story can completely change depending on what you do, or say, or side with, makes it one of the most forward thinking games ever. The amount of story permutation is the equivalent of a Hitman level but in Story Form. And it wasn't just that the story changed, no, it was that you met completely new characters, or missed them, depending on your choices. Made Mass Effect feel static in comparison.
Alpha Protocol was absolutely glorious, indeed. And it was, and still is, more Next Gen than most anything out there these days. In this regard at least.
Pity.
A new Partner Spotlight Sale is now live on the Switch eShop, including Skyrim, lowest price ever for Bomb Rush Cyberfunk, and more.
You could have 500 mods, but if they aren't proper mods, you really aren't doing much. This doesn't look all that great, my own game looks miles ahead of this.

I only have 20-30 mods or so, and not even all of them are graphics mods. It doesn't take many to get the game to look gorgeous like all those screenshots we have all seen. A simple ENB custom mod, some texture mods that change environments, faces, models etc.. and you're good to go.
Just built a new computer and playing the crap out this game. Maybe time to add some mods too!
Slightly off topic, but the thing I hope the next TES improves on the most is the combat. I love the series, a lot, but the combat hasn't evolved and in my opinion it needs to. I tried Demon's Souls for the first time a couple days ago, and the simple parry/repost system is a very elegant way to implement tactics in melee fighting using two separate abilities that still functions perfectly fine on their own.
Regardless, the mods for Skyrim are really cool. It's awesome to see PC communities do these types of things, and though I seriously doubt this would happen I'd like to see more mods be accepted by the developer and sold (or just distributed). Would be especially cool to see "official fan mods" come to PS4 games...but who am I kidding? :D
here's some I like for graphics
this guys pc is too weak for the base game, let alone the many mods, if you want to mod the crap out of skyrim you need at least a 560ti or so for 1080p res
on a gtx 580-680 you can go nuts, I have a 680 and i72600k
theres like 108 mods active on my skyrim and I still get 60 frames
