I remember you telling me about this awhile ago, and how much of a badass did you feel like after defeating a friggin dragon in a FIST FIGHT?

I should note, that both the Forgotten Vale and Soul Kairn are a part of the Dawnguard DLC. If you haven't picked up any of the DLC yet, you won't be disappointed if you do; Dragonborn also has you exploring the isle of Solsteihm, which is a wonderful callback to Morrowind and without spoiling anything, also features some content that wouldn't be out of context in an H.P. Lovecraft tale.

Why thank you! I am also a big fan of visual/environmental enhancement and alteration mods.

Thank you Matt! I absolutely love the atmosphere of Skyrim, especially how the music accompanies the environments and tone of the experience. Have you been to the "Forgotten Vale" or the "Soul Kairn" realms yet? If not, you, my friend, are in for some serious awesome!

I CANNOT WAIT to dig into this game! I've heard so many good things about it, and I absolutely love how builds upon a foundation laid by so many incredible retro titles. 

I always found the element of wandering off, exploring, and running into sidequests/building my own story to be far more exciting in terms of open-world games than strictly following the main questline. I completely the main questline in Skyrim, but I definitely took my time doing that :) I would obviously heartily recommend picking it up if you haven't yet; this game is built FOR wandering around and exploring the world.

Glad to hear your asking about the Forge! I'll be firing that series up again shortly, and thank you for the inspiration - Giant WereDragon vs. Flying Dragon = awesome beyond words!

Good Luck Captain N! Sending positive vibes your way!

You covered two of the reasons why the Kirby Franchise is my favorite in all of gaming: varied gameplay styles/genres that are always incredibly fun, and a tiered difficulty system that is quite brilliant. No matter what genre a Kirby game is,  you can always bet there will be plenty of personality, charm, ingenuity, and fun to be had!

And now I must track down a ROM of Kirby Super Star Stacker 

I have been meaning to play this for some time, especially before I check out the Wild Hunt - I dig its grounded, Game of Thrones-esque take on fantasy, and I think you have just inspired me to take the plunge!

How's the combat system by the way? It's hard to get a feel for it from watching Let's Plays and reviews.

While I wait to go Next Gen, I have plenty of last gen titles to keep me busy, and of course, retro stuff 

Actually, I just started Earthbound recently for the first time, and I'm really looking forward to experiencing it!
