quote [ I have used Skyrim to recreate Game of Thrones at last. I am starting with the season 1 trailer but I will most likely do every Game of Thrones trailer as time goes on. This video features over 260 Skyrim mods so that every Game of Thrones asset from the Season 1 trailer looks just right.
Basically it turns out Skyrim is shockingly perfect for recreating Game of Thrones. Skyrim has such a range of Game of Thrones esque locations, outfits, hairstyles, weapons and animals. I always wondered how Game of Thrones and Skyrim would match up together and now we know! I have managed to recreate pretty much every character from the show, although the trailer mostly focuses on Ned Stark (and Little Finger oddly)... ]

Let me guess: Someone stole your sweetroll.

Worse than that: Someone stole my ability to make meaningful choices, affect the game world, or have speech checks mean anything.

I actually never got around to playing the main questline. I put dozens of hours into several characters, but I always found something more interesting.

Ah, all of the "go here and kill a thing and get a thing" quests.

I once collected hundreds, if not thousands of skulls in my house. Mostly thrown into the forge. Skullforge.

My house was filled with stolen cheese.

Now I'm craving a good open world RPG. Any coming out soon/recently?

Not that I know of. The last time I looked, I just ended up playing another hundred hours of Skyrim.

Fallout New Vegas is quite good, though it differs a lot from Skyrim in several key points:
1. The plot doesn't really suck. 2. You have decisions that matter. 3. You have factions you can join that actually have a philosophy behind them. 4. The DLC is good to excellent. 5. There are no immortal NPCs apart from children and one robot. 6. Speech skills actually work and have meaning. |

I've never completed the main quest but by God I've saved the Dark Brotherhood 4 times now.

In Morrowind and Oblivion I followed the main quest with the tenacity of a cliff racer. So when I started Skyrim, I decided to ignore all quests for a month, and live as an NPC.

Heh, I put about 4,000 hours into over a hundred characters and only did the main questline once.
