Skyrim Mods - A Breakdown

I think this sums it up pretty well:

"Dark, man, dark!" - On "Dark and Gritty" Fantasy

I have a love/hate relationship with the fantasy genre. On the one hand, Tolkien's Lord of the Rings is one my most cherished works of literature. But on the other hand, I often despair at the state of the rest of the genre which, if I may be so bold, is filled with complete rubbish. Too often it fell into the trap of trying to imitate Tolkien, and since an imitation is always inferior to the original, where does that leave the fantasy genre, then?

A Gaming Parable

Imagine you're feeling bored one day, and so you decide to head down to your local movie theatre to waste an hour or two. You want to see a good comedy or horror film, which shouldn't prove too difficult because there's always been a steady supply of those.

You had the occasional flawed gem such as Dragon Age: Origins, but for the most part it was a time when the best you could hope for was something like Oblivion, a game so lacking in quality that the fans' rallying cry was, "The modders will fix it!"

Remember how, even as a kid, you knew this was bullshit?
