If players know what they’re doing, and if they have the right materials and money, they could make all sorts of spells to break the game. This is possibily due to the inclusion of the powerful but still balanced Dragon Shouts.

Speaking of spells, one series staple that Skyrim omitted was spellmaking, where players could customise and make their own magic spells. The best part about this system is that you could use two-handed weapons and still be able to summon monsters and shoot fireballs, a feature that was notably absent in Skyrim. So instead of having a spell in each hand like you do in Skyrim, you’ll have a single spell that can be swapped out pretty quickly with hotkeys. They were a great gimmick, though slightly limiting as they didn’t consume your mana, and had their own cooldowns.įor players going back to Oblivion, you'll find that the Dragon Shout button is for casting spells instead. This was what made you different from regular warriors: the ability to use dragon speak to run faster or summon storms. Mind you, the Dragon Shouts in Skyrim were cool and were part and parcel of the whole Dragonborn package. The titular Oblivion gates that are littered across the map are also a sight to behold before they get stale. Beyond that, most of the land features grassy plains, rocky mountains, the enormous Imperial City, and a whole lot more. Oblivion, meanwhile, takes place in Cyrodiil, which also features snow-covered areas, especially in the northern frontier that borders Skyrim. It isn’t the most varied when it comes to biomes, and after a while, you’re going to get tired of all the icy doom and gloom that is present throughout the land of Skyrim. East, west, north and south, there’s just snowy mountains and towns everywhere. Like it or not, Skyrim is just covered in snow. From the get-go, Oblivion is a lot more open-ended, giving players a general quest instead of thrusting them into a fated destiny. Oblivion, on the other hand, has you seeking out the chosen one, who has the power to stop the invading Daedra from destroying the world. Skyrim bucked the trend by making you the Dragonborn, a sort of chosen one who is destined to save the world. Typically, each game in the series has you in the shoes of some sort of recently escaped convict, who gained their freedom through some sort of divine intervention. The latter is a pirate faction, but the developers revealed it'll be possible to infiltrate them in a 'space cop' fashion.So, if you’re patiently waiting for Elder Scrolls VI and are sick of Skyrim, here are some reasons why you should return to the world of Cyrodiil and why Bethesda should definitely remake this game for modern systems.įor all intents and purposes, Skyrim was very much a more streamlined and watered-down take on the Elder Scrolls formula. Players will also get the chance to join one of the many factions, such as the United Colonies, the Freestar Collective, Ryujin Industries, and even the Crimson Fleet. The player character is a member of an organization called the Constellation, dedicated to exploring the universe and all of its mysteries. It's set in 2330, in a relatively small pocket of the Milky Way called The Settled Systems. There aren't too many concrete details on Starfield, but we'll recap what we know here. Players are going to lose their minds.” Now we just have to finish it! When that first happened with Starfield, it really was an, “Oh. But then you get to that point where systems really start to come online, and things start to work well, and gel, and you see everything forming into the vision you had when you first started on this crazy journey. There comes a point when you’re working on a game, and it’s just kind of a mess, especially early on, because – news flash! – that’s what game development is. It’s been so awe-inspiring watching Starfield morph into this amazing game, little by little, and with us covering SO much new ground. Actually pulling that off, that’s a different story. Saying you’re going to create the studio’s first new IP in twenty years is one thing.
