It's not about age, I don't know why you brought that up, but it's your opinion, I won't try to convert you LOL.Back in the bad old days of the 1980s, there was no such thing as an open-world video game. I played Infinite, and I enjoyed pretty much about that game, but I never got engaged with the story and characters in the same way that I did with Mass Effect and Dragon Age. That's why they have been called 'Masters of Storytelling' for years now. It won't last forever, but while the getting is good they're responsible for some of the best stories a person can engage with a controller in their hands. They've created a unique form of storytelling that is both linear and based on player choice they tell a story and leave plenty of blanks for the player to fill. And everything manages to fits it's porpuse. You get emotionally invested, you care for the characters, you need to go against impossible odds while being careful to not destroy a whole race or location. You get invested with the world that Bioware gives you, you can roleplay in such tale where everything is at stake, Thedas or the whole galaxy. And the formula makes for extraordinary games. It allows players to engage with a story they think they have a handle on and then take over when the stakes get higher. The power in these games is how they open the plot up to the player and then immediately close off the path when the choice is made.

So, hopefully, they release a remaster Skyrim for the PS4 and X1 to tide us over until we get ES VI.

Indeed, one regret I do have in selling both my 360 and PS3 is that I can't go back and play Skyrim again. and that's saying something cuz I usually prefer the sword and sorcery stuff vs sci fi space stuff. In fact, I'm actually looking more forward to the next ME game than I am to the next DA game. and if that's the direction they're continuing to go in, then I can't say I'm looking forward to DA 4 or whatever it will be called. but they've been going in the opposite direction with the subsequent games ( they totally gutted healing spells in DAI, for instance ).

Mages could become Arcane Warriors and equip any weapon and armor, even if they lacked the actual weapon skills.ДЄfter DAO, I had hoped they would give us more freedom in how we can build our characters. Warriors in DAO could learn archery or dual wield. In DAO, you at least had less class-weapon restrictions. If I want a dual wielding warrior, I can do that in Skyrim.Д¬an't do any of that in the DA games, especially in DA2 and DAI. If I want to create a mage-rogue hybrid, I can do that. If I want to switch between sword and shield and archery, I can do that. If I want to build a sword and shield paladin or holy, magic knight character who's proficient with sword and shield warrior skills in addition to healing/buff magic as well as some offensive fire magic, I could build that in Skyrim.

In Skyrim, there are no class restrictions and you are free to build your character how you want to.

Plus, with each subsequent DA game, it feels the classes and skills are becoming more and more restrictive - and I'm not a fan of that direction. The story and characters really haven't grabbed me, certainly not on the same level that DAO did. My excitement for DAI has dropped considerably over the last few weeks.

In Skyrim, I actually felt I was walking through the streets of a town or exploring a dungeon. if nothing else for the greater deal of freedom in how you can build your character and the overall greater sense of immersion in the world. At this point, I'd have to go with Skyrim.
