And there are other games skyrim and beth could learn from such as dragon age with its narrative charm and ability to influence those around you with the words you choose. Deus Ex, Fallout NV, the walking dead, even mass effect. where would are favorite games be, if developers weren't inspired by other games. at least consider what I've written. you know im right.
if by chance you've come to defend Skyrim, and tell me there is absolutely nothing skyrim can implement from other games, by all means, go ahead.
