For a game that is almost twenty years old, The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind still holds up remarkably well. The tale of the Nerevarine and their adventures laid the groundwork for countless WRPGs since and the vast amount of customization and exploration will always make the game worth returning f
Of course, Fable should also bring back the high level of customizability that the series is known for. In previous titles, players have been able to fully customize their heroes in a variety of ways including their clothing, hair, gender, tattoos, and even their height and weight. Fable will have to keep the same level of personalization or even increase it otherwise it just won't feel like it is part of the series at all. With Fable using the powerful ForzaTech engine , it will be interesting to see how much the customization translates or if there will be even more options for players to take choose f
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
It is disappointing for fans that Fable did not make an appearance at this year's E3 , but hopefully, fans will receive some official news soon. There are a lot of questions surrounding the mysterious new revival of the series and it is under tremendous pressure to bring Fable back in a big way for modern audiences. The team at Playground Games is immensely talented, however, and definitely has the ability to deliver something great for fans and new players al
Updated March 11, 2022 by John Charron: Western RPGs are only getting more and more popular with each passing year, as gamers across the board are exploring the best video game developers have to offer. Lush worlds, alluring quest lines, and killer gameplay make the best western RPGs the cream of the crop. But, as with many RPGs, there is still the looming threat of a slow beginning. Tedious or boring plot lines, monotonous grinding, or off-kilter pacing can make the intro of RPG games feel more like work than a video game. Nevertheless, getting past those first rough few hours is a badge of honor for many gamers once they get into the rhy
Once players complete the quests "My Speciality" and "I Wanna Get Better!" they'll receive a request from Aria in the Golden Settlement to deliver a Queen's Dinner to Venus. Players must earn the recipe for the Queen's Dinner itself by completing a separate quest. As stated above, recipe requires both a Crisbee Donut and Tangy Carpaccio to m
The first Witcher game is legendary in its own right, having kicked off one of the most beloved fantasy franchises in gaming history. The story of Geralt of Rivia is one of hardship and turmoil, exemplified by the tough choices players must make in each g
The first playthrough is always magical, but the subsequent playthroughs can be a real drag, especially in the first areas of the game. The initial quests are fun, but pale in comparison to what comes after the first few ho
A man named Meredith Sock writes some books which the player can find in Fable II. His novels are detested throughout Albion, with some choice book titles including (but unfortunately not limited to): "Cold Lips," "Norm and Aggie," "Objection! Overruled!," "Megafowl: The Sword is Mightier than the Hen," and "Megafowl 2: Revenge of the H
Probably the most recognizable western RPG of all time, Skyrim is something of a behemoth in the RPG world. The game’s iconic icy tundra is a welcome home to many players, including those who had their first foray into the Elder Scrolls series through Skyr
He disguised in it a chaotic edit that made most players brush it off as an exciting promo. But, as players progressed through the game, it's almost criminal how much the trailer gave away. The marketing even went so far as to show the Death Stranding 2 scenes of some pretty major charact
This is one of the most important quests from a story perspective, as it reveals much about Leif and his backstory . Upon defeating the boss of Chapter 4, Team Snakemouth will find a Peculiar Gem. It can be used in Snakemouth Den to unlock a previously inaccessible dungeon, complete with unique enemies and an optional b
One element of the series' legacy that Fable will have to bring back is its world. Fable may be going open world , but it will have to make sure to keep the character of the world that Fable fans expect. The world of Albion has a very unique flavor to it, with a lot of British humor and wacky characters for players to run into. Few other RPGs feature quests that see players hunting down sentient garden gnomes and Fable will have to keep that tone and character or it will completely stop feeling like Fable. Fable will also have to bring back the series' interactivity. Buying properties, building relationships, and the player having a large impact on Albion will be very important for Fable fans to connect with the newest g
