The Wolf Among Us took a serious turn down Bleaker Street (pun intended). Holy shit, what a downer; even when you win, everyone thinks they've lost.

I think I've only completed the first two Eps so far.

I have a desire to play something like Skyrim or the new Fallouts  Sadly Bethesda decided to go MMO. :(
I've given it serious thought. I must scorn the ways of my family, and seek a Japanese woman to yield me my progeny. He shall live in the lands of the east, and be well tutored in his sacred trust to weave the best traditions of Japan and the Sacred South together, until such time as he (or, indeed his house, which will periodically require infusion of both Southern and Japanese bloodlines of note) can deliver to the South it's independence, either in this world or in space.  -Lettow April of 2011

You can pick up Morrowind on the cheap and try either this http://www.moddb.com/mods/morrowind-overhaul-sounds-graphics or http://kotaku.com/5947989/morrowind-just-got-even-prettier-with-this-new-graphical-overhaul

I have tried both, and tend to stick to the latter, despite the fairly clunky original gameplay.

There'll be another TES game, I am sure, but they space them out with 3-5 years between them, the bastards.  :mad:

Well Skyrim came out in 2011 so we are due  :cool:

Having a blast with Assassin's Creed 2. Renaissance Italy is such a great setting for this kind of conspiracy-driven, assassination-rich plot.

Plus, I usually don't care about jumping puzzles, but when said jumping puzzle involves ascending to the top of the dome of Santa Maria del Fiore... then yeah, I'll do it.

Yes 2 and Brotherhood are nice because of that setting.

AC2 and Brotherhood were the pinnacle of the series. Downhill since, unfortunately.
Person. Woman. Man. Camera. TV.

American one was alright though yeah not particularly great. Pirate one was fun in a manner of speaking but not really as an AC game.

Worst was probably the Turkish one. No I do not want to play amateur bomb maker. :D

AC1 was rather meh and I struggled through it.  2 was awesome though.
I'm looking forward to 4, but I've only just finished brotherhood. I've got revelations (the one I didn't realize existed) and 3 (seems a lot less exciting a setting) to get through first.

I'm just hoping they fulfill my desires for a Victorian London game down the line.

I think we are due a Fallout game first.
The future is all around us, waiting, in moments of transition, to be born in moments of revelation. No one knows the shape of that future or where it will take us. We know only that it is always born in pain.   -G'Kar

Seems a bit derivative after just doing the American revolution.
But a Scarlet Pimpernel game! :w00t:

The ones set in America don't look that appealing to me... I have not played them, but running around wilderness and colonial towns doesn't look as nearly as cool as Rome, Florence or Constantinople in the XVth century.  They have pirates, though, I'll give them that.

Revolutionary France has lots of potential though.
