I've been thinking about this game. Although my heavily modded Skyrim is such a pleasure to play from graphical interface that blows away every game I have, to crafting weapons from nothing, and hunting, camping and fishing in Skyrim with Hunterborn, Frostfall and Fishing in Skyrim installed, as well as Basic Needs and Diseases for an actual need for Food and Water and debilitating diseases (Only thing missing is having to piss 3x a day and drop a duece once or twice a day), I have to wonder what I'm missing out on. I saw a few reviews, a huge variability of enemies, a diehard following that claims it to be a true RPG, whereas Skyrim appeals to the Casual Gamer audience (something I am not a part of, I'm pretty hardcore about my games) and what its most well known for is its extreme difficulty.
The two most difficult games I ever played was Silver Surfer and Kings Knight on the Nintendo Entertainment System, back in around 1990 or so. Those games were so difficult they mostly sat on a shelf their whole miserable lives as plastic cartridges.
Since about N64 or so, they haven't really made *truly* difficult games, where it's a huge accomplishment to beat it. But thats besides the point.
The difficulty does appeal to me, I play Skyrim on Legendary, multiple difficulty mods, and if I could add one it would be save points in the game. On the one hand I don't like having to repeat the exact same series of steps all over just to die at the end to a boss, or in Skyrims case, a randomly appearing Legendary Dragon, on the other hand, I probably play on such a high difficulty level because I abuse the save feature so much (I am basically forced to on low level characters where a single Sabre Cat can effectively ruin the Dovahkin's day).
It sure would force me to sneak a lot more if I implemented save points as a difficulty mod, which Dark Souls II features.
Not really sure if this goes in Skyrim discussion or Gaming Discussion, or even Modding discussion. But I'm curious, those that have tried the two games, any input? And we're talking modded Skyrim, not Vanilla Skyrim. My Skyrim, is like a fully developed T-800 from Terminator 2, and Vanilla Skyrim is like the basic arm and Computer Chip that Cyberdyne Systems and Miles Dyson found crushed in a Hydraulic Press, that eventually lead to Skynet and the destruction of Man Kind, AKA, modded Skyrim.
Most posts I've seen related to the game, I assumed the Dark Souls II fans were talking about Vanilla Skyrim and not a heavily modded Skyrim.
