Looking for a similar game as these...

TheSwede · 23 Mar 2015 at 20:54

Hi all,

Here's hoping you all know some games similar as to Skyrim and Fallout: New Vegas. Although not played New Vegas I am looking for somehting along those lines, but would prefer a game where you wont have to do any modifications, just start and play so to speak (yes, I know, can play it vanilla but if it like Skyrim be more fun with the mods.

)

A modern kind of game, where you use Guns and Rifles, not Swords and Bows.

But part from that, long quests, side quests, level up and using a skill tree, is there any other games like that around ??

Thank you for any and all suggestions, greatly appreciated.

Just play New Vegas, your reasoning makes no sense.

It's a great game. I've just finished it for the 3rd time.

STALKER series perhaps

As New Vegas doesn't yet have a sequel it's the best fit for your brief.

I get it, I want Fallout 4 a ridiculous amount...

Borderlands?

Yeah, get Stalker: Call of Pripyat. Looks stunning, and is the best in the series (imo).

Dying Light? I've not yet played it much but you do a lot of running around doing quests and upping your skills etc not much gun action though at the start as you have to survive with pipes and table legs

When modded it looks good, yes.

Parky · 24 Mar 2015 at 01:26

Playing through STALKER just to witness the blowouts is worth it on it's own

arc@css · 24 Mar 2015 at 01:47

I think they look good, but nothing that special. Maybe I've just got too used to them.

Borderlands is well worth a shout.

Although its words and such again, the witcher 2 is a stunning game.

Sleepery · 24 Mar 2015 at 06:56

Divinity 2. Not quite open world like Skyrim, but a very good and often overlooked game.

Haggisman · 24 Mar 2015 at 08:52

So... you want a game like New Vegas... but you haven't played New Vegas...

Have you considered New Vegas? Sounds like it would be a perfect match for what you're after

RumbleBee · 24 Mar 2015 at 09:09

New Vegas is awesome. With or without mods.

TheSwede · 24 Mar 2015 at 10:26

Thanks for all suggestions, much appreciated !

Had a look at Broderlands but wasn't sure, will again though.

And yes, checked out the Witcher series due to bought a 970 and got the Witcher 3 code for it when it is out, not decided if I be playing through Witcher 1 and 2 first though. Third one suppose to be payable without played 1 and 2 though so will see.. =)

Not played it myself no, but seen the game in action so know roughly what's it's about. Just was hoping to find a non modding game and jump right into it. Love Skyrim but sometimes spend to much time chcking out mods then playing.

Yeah I know, my reasoning is a tad flawed but as above, seen it in action and was hoping for something similar without mods and bit more modern looking game so to speak. Most likely will get New Vegas and playthrough it anyway one day.

You'll miss a bit of the backstory by not playing the previous games, but I can't imagine too much, although I'd definitely recommend playing 2 - I only played it recently, but it's definitely one of my top 10. It'll also give your 970 a good workout if you crank the settings right up

New Vegas is definitely worth playing through, even without mods

Just stop what you are doing and play New Vegas. The best RPG ever made.

Okis, might buy it then. And the 970 is in my spare machine, got 2x290's in my main one.

Found the game in a online shop over here, they had a buy 3 pay for 2 deal so got New Vegas: Ultimate Edition for about £5 in that deal.

Take a couple days before getting it though since it is a proper Disc and all ! :eek:

Yeah I got the message loud and clear from everyone so as above, have ordered it now.

Raumarik · 24 Mar 2015 at 13:53

Metro 2033 or Last Light? OK not bang on but still a great game.
