re: #79 Targetpractice, Worst of Both Worlds

Even though in some ways it’s frustrating, the lack of impact you have in Skyrim on larger events is much more ‘realistic’ than the “You decide the fate of everyone, everywhere” aspect of Fallout. All the “Fallout” games have a background of ‘destiny’ to them— you’re ‘the chosen one’, your descendant is real important, etc.

In Skyrim, you’re the Dragonborn, but that and a gold will buy you an Orcish arrow. You’re not going to convince anyone to follow you by shouting at them. You get the political power other people give you. At the end, you are possibly in a position to start jockeying for leadership. Possibly.

It’s interesting.
