Thanks for the recommendations guys!

Dread Delusion was not mentioned because I already made a full review of it! Check it out in my other videos if you're curious. As for Enderal, stay tuned. This one needed its own special video 👀

Really wish “Scrolls Likes” were more common because Bethesda keep dropping the ball.

One of the devs for Fall of Avalon here, difficulty is in a quite unfinished stage right now and these spikes are not intended; balance is being heavily worked on for future patches tho

When Bethesda announced Elder Scrolls Online I instantly assumed that would be their excuse to never release Elder Scrolls 6. I did not realise that constantly re-releasing Elder Scrolls 5 would be their actual excuse instead.

Get Scrolls-like trending

Hey!! Thank you so much for including my game (Bloodline) in this list. What a huge honor!
Your main criticism of the game (being that I added another kingdom before ironing out the existing one) is 100% agreed. In fact, the past few updates have been refocusing the trajectory of the game so that kingdom 1 gets fully ironed out before moving on to other kingdoms! (:
I can’t thank you enough for your patience and understanding when it comes to the current status of the game, as this is my first ever game and I’m still learning so, SO much every day. 😁🙏

I think a big thing that makes Bethesda games is the “Any item that you see can be taken”

I love when items in the world have physics and can be taken. The armor some dude is wearing? You can take it. The items on that table? You can take them.

03:20 Lore, lore is so important. In game books, mentions of cultural events, etc.  One of the big things missing from Starfield , the "books" in that were a joke.

What I miss most in many (if not most) similar RPGs is the immersive, interactable environment. Not only are there snow, rain, storms (and various mods like Wet & Cold and Frostfall) — everything (not quite) from potions, weapons, ingredients to clothes, tools, tableware and even bodies can be taken, dropped anywhere, moved, thrown; it’ll semi-realistically bounce of walls or float in water. This is not as deep as it could be: potions could break and affect whoever/whatever is nearby; torches could be used as weapons; fire could eventually burn down obstructions or ropes; water could make unprotected books/notes/scrolls unreadable; etc. — but that the surroundings aren’t just 3D wallpaper still adds greatly to my sense of immersion. Ultima 5-8 in particular went in that direction but a smattering of “physics dungeon crawlers” aside most modern games don’t… so sad. :) :(

Cool to see my game in such a list. Some people get it wrong, but you nailed what Raidborn is all about! I confess that The Elder Scrolls is likely 80% of the reason I wanted to make games and I think you can tell when playing my game :D I also listen to an unhealthy amount of TES soundtracks when building levels or doing other low brain activity tasks ^^

i actually think a underrated reason why cyberpunk is so good is because of its first person perspective; ive really been missing good first person games no offence to space marine and elden ring

"Scrolls Likes" need to become a thing! Couldn't agree more on your 1st person and 3rd person take!

To be honest, the combat in these games is more like Dark Messiah than anything Bethesda has ever made.

I think my favorite thing about Bethesda games is that all items have in game assets and aren't just things in a menu. And that you can pick up and manipulate those items and they'll stay where you left them. I'm disappointed that no game (that I know of) tries to copy this. Kingdom Come Deliverance has in game assets for all items, but you cant manipulate them.
That being said, all of these games look like fire and I've added them to my Steam wishlist.

I like that you can toggle between 1st and 3rd person in Skyrim.  I’m clumsy, and want to see where my feet are going, but still zoom in when needed.  Both views means more players.

I think one of the most important aspects of the elder scrolls series (at least since morrowind) is being able to pick almost everything up. Except for furniture and stuff like that. It felt really weird to only be able to interact with certain items in tes online.

The Bloodline is an amazing achievement for a single dev and has so many fun systems that i did not expect it to have. Honestly fun to just get and play for a while.
Tainted Grail is more gritty but also more akin to an Elder Scrolls title. The systems in place all feel pretty good so far and i can't wait for full release.

Incredibly well done video, enjoyed watching this as I'm heading back into Oblivion

One recommendation I have for a "Scrolls-like" would be "The Dread Delusion".

- Very Unique fantasy setting.
- You start as a prisoner.
- Always in 1st person, and while you don't customize what you look like, you do get to pick your background for starting stats.
- After tutorial mission, completely free to go where you want, unlocking new areas with certain quests.

The game actually takes a few pages out of Morrowind:
- No on-demand fast travel, forcing you to use travelling spells or hike it to where you want to go.
- No quest markers, ensuring that you have to use the geography skills you learned in school to find things.
- The world is just big enough for exploration to be rewarding, but small enough that you won't get hopelessly lost or that there's any unused space.

The main story is pretty unique, as well as the art style. They seemed to make the game look like a long-lost PS1 game, and it looks the part. It's pretty easy to pick up, and I'm giving it a playthrough right now.

I'd give it a pick up.

This isn't really a scrollslike, but I noticed that Kenshi really scratched the same itch Morrowind does. An alien world, with a lot of freedom to live your own life. Kenshi is a beast unto its own, though, it's just way more sandboxy.
