A comparison of currently released character faces from Skyrim with Morrowind and Oblivion.
Virtuos is currently working on a multiplatform Unreal Engine 5 remake, which is rumored to be The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion.
I thought they’d go for Morrowind first to be honest but this is a welcoming surprise to tide us over before ES6
Unreal Engine isn't efficient for open world games, so I question the reliability of this story.
Hopefully modders can fix the aged combart in this game if this is true. Enemies leveling up with you broke and defeated the whole purpose of leveling up.
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
I remember when I first started playing Oblivion I used to stop and look at the vista's and marvel at how good the NPC's looked. Skyrim makes those characters look decidedly crap.
This game is gonna be awesome...
aw man i forgot how morrowind looked until i restarted it a couple days ago
can't wait for skyrim
First elder scolls with great looking characters, the ugly npc's have been a real flaw of this series.
Finally no more beautiful people mods :P
I never understood that huge ape like snout they all had, hideous.
I never liked the obvious cut between head and chest in Oblivion.
I guess it's because they had 100+ face-models, and much fewer body-models. I know it's a fantasy game, but when a 70 year old woman has perfect breasts, it breaks some of the immersion.
Most of the new male characthers in Skyrim reminds me of your average Unreal troll, on this characther-sheet, I hope there is normal muscularity on the people aswell.
Anyway, looking forward to Skyrim.
