It's a big hammer.
All I can really say is that I'm sorry to hear that. I've heard people say a quote, "Skyrim is a way of life." I think it's attributed to Morgan Webb? Either way, I think it's partially true. I mean, if you truly feel so strongly about never playing again, then perhaps you weren't really that captivated by it in the first place? I don't really know, but I usually toss something like this up to different strokes for different blokes. I was really just trying to be positive and can only speak from personal experience. I may take time off from Skyrim, but I always come back. For instance, I recently stopped in favor for some heavy FIFA14 action (FUT is killing my soul). I'm starting to wane on that and considering getting some Assassin's Creed gaming going since they released Liberation for consoles. But at the same time, I find myself day dreaming about a hearty Nord who wears nothing more than fur armor (or maybe scaled armor, I'm unsure at the moment) and wields a shield and axe. A real traditional Nord type of character that relishes a fight, loves to drink, and can often find himself on the wrong side of the law usually by accident.I'm here to put a fly in your ointment. I stopped playing Skyrim about 2 months ago and though I love the game and still like to discuss it from time to time, I'm positive I won't be playing Skyrim again. Every now and again I'll talk my daughter through a quest, but that's about it. I keep waiting for the desire to come back but every time I think about starting a new build, my inner child responds by saying: "Ugh... god no please..."
So, my point is, for me, while I may put the game to the side for awhile, I guess I never really leave Skyrim.
I've never played Dragon's Dogma, but I thoroughly enjoy the other two you mentioned. I only played Dragon Age Origins, but I'm told if I enjoyed that, I should pick up the second one.Ever? That seems a bit harsh. But you are right. I am getting tired of it after a year and may move on to Dragon Age, Dragon's Dogma or even Assassin's Creed (I haven't even made it through 3). I really do need to branch out one of these days.
I'm more versed in Assassin's Creed, though. I, personally, didn't like the third one. While the American Revolution is one of my absolute favorite periods in history, I felt like the game kind of fell flat. It just didn't have that certain something that the others have. My favorite is still Brotherhood, but the newest, Black Flag, is probably my second favorite. The story for Black Flag was great and I really enjoyed the main protagonist, Edward Kenway. I'm a historian by trade, so the Assassin's Creed series is like my bread and butter.
