It looks like its going to be really good. No dlc crap is a major bonus too.

How is no DLC a bonus? DLC is a bonus in itself and gives more replay value.

This is a Skyrim forum.

Do not expect mercy, for you will recieve none.

EDIT: Well that's just ruddy brilliant isn't it, the second I post this, the thread is moved. Hmpphh.

Skyrim will be the better one, in my opinion. But i think Dark Souls will be a great game too (I've pre-ordered both). They are both quite different games though...

Very different types of game.

I'm looking forward to both, but for me:

- PC version with mod support
- Open gameworld
- First person gameplay

Instantly makes Skyrim significantly more appealing...

No, it won't never heard of Dark Souls, Skyrim is pretty mainstream so it will probably sell more.

Well I already explained this.

As for more replay value, Skyrim will have more.

As for more visually stunning worlds, Dark Souls with have more. I remember playing Demon Souls and being overwhelmed by the uniquiness of the game. There was something wholesome and quite unique looking about the monsters. All though Dark Souls has original monsters we have seen before, they do it in such a unique and visually appealing way it makes them feel like new creatures all together.

Skyrim all though the lore and the story is original, unlike Dark Souls, the creatures themselves are the same tried and true creatures we imagine in our heads.

They both have their own uniquiness to provide to the world.

Ew, no.

Not likely, I don't think so.
