Let's discuss games in the "scrollslike" subgenre; basically games that have the design philosophy of 3D Elder Scrolls/3D Fallout/Gothic, but that are not necessarily in those series. Examples include:>Two Worlds 1-2>Elex>Outward>Gedonia>Tainted Grail: Fall of AvalonWhich "scrollslike" games are your favorite? Which upcoming games in the genre are you looking forward to? Can we come up with a name for this subgenre that doesn't sound as gay as "scrollslike?"

>>3843694>looking forward to?Added Sword Hero to my wishlist. Besides it and Wayward Realms I haven't heard of anything to get hype for. Tainted Grail looks too Todd McFarlane for me.
>>3843694is outward fun? I just started. I wanted to get used to the controls and gameplay before onboarding a friend
>>3843694Gedonia was alright for an asset flip made by a single man
>>3843694MM 6 and 7 (but party based.)
>>3843725OP here. Personally, I didn't find Outward fun. It has a lot of good qualities and is designed as a very "hardcore" RPG, so it's quite difficult compared to Skyrim or Fallout. My biggest problem was that the open world was so empty that large parts of the game just consisted of walking around looking at nothing. Whenever you die you get respawned in a random spot, so you spend a lot of time just walking. There are some mods for adding in fast travel, increasing walking speed, etc. so if this bothers you like it did me it may still not be a dealbreaker. A lot of other people really liked the game so take what I say with a grain of salt.
>>3843694Outward isn't one because it forgot to actually put things in the world worth travelling to.Outward is a walking simulator.
>>3843694modded Skyrim in VR.I wasnt a fan of flatscreen skyrim at all but VR takes it entirely to another level and throw in all the mod gameplay enhnancment and crazy shit and its an entirely new game.
>>3843694I've never played it, but Dread Delusion keeps getting pushed on my Steam recommended and it seems to fit the genre. The reviews are keen on comparing to Morrowind. I'm keeping an eye on Tainted Grail, personally. The demo hooked me, but the recent reviews make it sound like the most recent patch was a dud, and I've literally never paid more than £30 for a video game. It's 30 pence above what I'd normally grab, as petty as that sounds.
>>3843949I love Tainted Grail to be honest. It feels like the logical evolution of Skyrim. Every negative review I've read has me wondering what game the reviewers are playing, because it's not the one I'm playing.
>>3843967It can be a bit janky.
>>3843694I fucking love Outward. It's so underappreciated it's almost criminal.You forgot to mention Dread Delusion.
>>3844215The jank is comparable to Skyrim and to some extent comes with the territory. I don't let stuff like that bother me if the base game is fun.
