Ah, I missed it the first time. No one can end a universe but I am still confident after it is all said and done they can affect/defeat said character but I can't sa for certain until I play through it.

Well I believe Alduin but lets leave that there hey.

Who is it in DA that can combat Alduin? Unless I have misread this message.

I read it as you saying you thought a character in DA as being able to beat Alduin.

I cannot say at this point because I need to see his weaknesses and how he interacts with the characters from Skyrim. Look at it this way. Just because Superman is more powerful than Professor X that doesn't mean X can't defeat him.

You fight a weakened Alduin in the game (perhaps even a mere aspect). Not one who is the size of the Earth or creates Daedric lords for shits and giggles.

It's not that I dislike it. It's that the storyline is pretty much non-existent. The plot is little more than "the evil dragon king is trying to conquer the world, kill it".
I searched the net comparing the Witcher 2 to Skyrim and a lot of the people say Skyrim has a really generic plot and lacks character development.

Well compared to the Witcher most things do.

I don't recall him creating them more rather he ate them although I may be wrong.

I don't recall it being mentioned that he was weakened either. Although obviously he didn't dismantle Arda in the process of the game. But that's more down to game mechanics.

I'm happy to concede if it is the case. As I fear I am walking myself into the wrong idea.

At the very least, you're shout weakened him. Although, I recall reading somewhere that he was weakened when he sought to rule rather than destroy.

As for the princes, it's mentioned he created Mehrunes Dagon in some obscure text.

Ah okay my bad then, I recalled Mehrunes being mentioned but I fought it was in a fight. Obviously now I know that's not the case.

I must have confused it with the time Almalexia and Sotha Sil fought Dagon in Mournhold.

Then that will be the one who is included in this debate.

Not Dragon Age my BFF.

I've been playing League of Legends basically all day.

What kind of a ****ing nerd buys and plays a game as long as Skyrim for a versus debate?

You really sure you want to do this quan? This isn't like Zelda where you can claim separate timelines for feats from other games, you should be aware.

edit: oh, and I should point out I have not beaten (or come close to beating) Dragon Age: Inquisition.

This ****ing guy. I'll buy games just to smite this pussyverse. It will be Skyrim vs. inquisition. If you're interested that is because otherwise I'll probably play Witcher 2. So far I hate this ****ing game.

You want a shot at me ? Here it is.

Ps. If you say yes you'll have loads of times because at the pace I am playing Skyrim it will take me a while to beat it. Just going through main quests for the most part too.

Why would you spend money over a forum debate? I barely even interact with you. Am I really that in your head?

I don't care enough to want a shot at someone who consistently dodged the Kratos vs. Gabriel battledome.

That's nice. A lot of characters that appear in Skyrim appear in the other games too.

It was 20$. It cost as much as the batteries I pruchased at best buy. I remembered you saying elder scrolls >>>>>dragon age so naturally I'd love proving you wrong.

I'd have to beat three more GOW games and I am not into that at the moment. Ok, that would make those characters fair game but since no one cares enough about Skyrim to defend its honor I guess I'll play Witcher 2 now.

You failed me.

Personally, The Elder Scrolls (skyrim at least)>Dragon Age>Dark Souls
Skyrim just barely beats out dragon age tho
like they're practically even for me and the only reason it comes out on top for me is cause of how long skyrim takes to play if you're doing everything and how much there is to do when it comes to just ****ing around
though there's a lot of things in dragon age and better elements in it like the romance system (meaning actually experiencing the romance in DA versus just slapping a necklace on and shimmying up to someone) after finishing everything, all the quests and whatnot, there's not much left to do
like, it took me a few days to beat origins and DA2 versus the months it'll take me just to get off my ass and head to Sovengarde in Skyrim
even with the dlc in DA, it doesn't take all that long to finish
but this is just my reasoning. i haven't played Inquisition, yet, cause i don't have the system for it, nor have I played other Elder Scrolls games save a few minutes of Oblivion
as for Dark Souls, I never played them, but I've watched playthroughs. so though i'm not an expert or even all that knowledgeable, i still know i'm not about that cause of the sheer difficulty. the lore in it and storylines are awesome, but i highly doubt i'll play it any time soon

Is it that bad ? I'm playing it to debate against. Once Nemebro accepts I will try to tough this game out.

Skyrim's main story isn't great. It's better than Oblivion but not up to par with any of the DA games. You have to play it for reasons other than story or you won't like it very much.

Also if you are playing it on the PC there are so many amazing graphical mods that make it look like a next gen game, if your PC can handle them.

Not to mention all the QOL mods. ui mods, combat mods, armour mods... and yes, even some rather dirty mods too.

Honestly for me, DA:I and Skyrim are almost completely different and fit certain styles of play. DA:I is completely fast paced compared to Skyrim 😂

Just on consoles but for Skyrim I bought it for Xbox 360. Since no one wanted to debate Skyrim against my Inquisition I think I'll go ahead and play Witcher 2. I hear that story is excellent.
