You cannot create your own character in skyrim, you can only edit your appearance. You are locked into being the dragonborn and your character does not matter, similar to making a custom character in gta online.
There are no mods that make skyrim not skyrim, and skyrim is shit, so what's the point? If I want to play something that is not skyrim I will simply do so, not spend hundreds of unpaid hours attempting to mod it into a very cheap and amateur knock off of an actual game. You would have to be moronic to do that. I don't even own skyrim, and unless a sale goes so deep that it will cost negative dollars and I will be paid for owning it, it's unlikely that is going to change.
homie, you have literally no legs to stand on if you don't even know the ins and outs of game you are trying to critique. It's a really low INT move to try to do so anyway.
Nobody cares about uninformed opinions.
So yeah, you are right. You don't get it and your comparisons or opinions are objectively and completely baseless.

Why form your own opinions, when it's easier to follow an echo chamber and be arrogant about it >DAE think Skyrim bad?

Okay Gankerirgin. I'm not even here defending Skyrim or Todd. I don't think anyone is. Don't mistake me posting pictures on an image board as some sort of defense for Skyrim.
You can critique any vidya you like, but you should have at least played them (even if only for a minimal time) to form any sort of opinion worth a damn. Parroting something you heard your favourite streamer said isn't an opinion. That only deserves being laughed at.
Pretty sure OP was just asking a simple question. It seems you are in the wrong.
OP made a thinly veiled shitpost. And you couldn't even look past the veil.

Doesn't GTA have faction rep and multiple endings? It might actually be more of an rpg than skyrim. Hell it even has leveled stats that affect how you approach missions and aren't level scaled.
I honestly think it's more reasonable to compare skyrim with generic AAA slop than crpgs. This doesn't happen, of course, because it's on the bottom rung of those types of games.
Why would you not just play koikatsu unless you really enjoyed bethesdas wierd anthropomorphic characters and watching them have sex with dogs and horses and skeletons in bathtubs and what have you
Probably because it's clear OP (you) are just going to spew out baseless meme answers. And some anons already pointed out differences which you chose to ignore. But I'll offer up an answer since I've got the time.
While Skyrim isn't a true RPG at heart, it at least offers a roleplayable sandbox. It's not like the game holds a gun to your head to follow the dragonborn quest. You can even shut out the entire dragon story right after the tutorial if you ignore it. It will even stop random dragons from showing up. You'd know all this, if you had actually picked up the game once. It's not even gamebreaking in any way. Sprinkle a little mods on there if you don't even want it mentioned at all (alternate start).
Skyrim also has actual build choices, consumables, gear and stats all tied to that that widly differ how your characters plays, which is paramount for an RPG. Skyrim also allows the player to more freely engage with quests, while GTA only offers very limited choice on what mission to do and how you solve said mission.
And even while being dragonborn, the player is free to form other parts of the PC's life. Job(s), Faction(s), love(rs), marriage and even (adoptable) children. Customizable housing and a bunch of followers add RP opportunity too. To be clear, I'm in no way saying this all holds up in terms of quality, but at least it's there.
GTAV doesn't offer anything outside of flavour. Especially V. Arguably the online mode is RP'able, since people do that on massive modded servers. So there's that. The single player is a shizophrenic 3 character mess with some choices sprinkled in for flavour.
If you can set up a roleplay in that, you must have one hell of an imagination.
Don't overthink your buzzwords anwer, you ain't got nothing significant to say about it anyway.
I would argue GTA V has more RPG mechanics than skyrim, including stats that effect how you approach missions in a meaningful way and consequences for who you align yourself with.
Considering the amount of roleplay servers for GTA, I can see it being an RPG. Rockshart unironically created the responsive world Bethesdaft wanted to.
When I'm feeling too racist irl sometimes I roleplay as an African American mass killer in Skyrim or San andreas. Gets me in touch with my blackside so to speak even though I'm german/irish irl. Like roleplaying as a black guy in vidya helps you see life from their POV irl so you undestand them far better which unironically helps you hate black people less. Because when you think about it, trust me when I say you'd be very angry (therefore more prone to violence) too if you were born cursed with poop color skin, raised in an angry hostile household by others bitter about their poop color skin, etc. It would make you fricking snap and shoot somebody in all likelyhood eventually!
Whoa there, looks like you didn't answer my question so looks like we're going back to the top of the catalogue.
How about creating your own character, you fricking dimwit.

you're playing the game wrong, try wildlander

oh ok so you're larping? frick off moron, you have no idea what you're talking about.
>I don't even own skyrim
It's another "let's harshly critique this game even though I never played it and make unfounded comparisons" -episode.
Close the thread boys, show's over. Nothing of value to be found here
>you just don't get it!!!

It's almost like skyrim isn't an rpg.
There isn't any difference, TES is GTA with swords. Except jankier and with less choices and consequences than GTA.
Neither tes nor gta are rpgs and they don't belong here.
None, if skyrim is an rpg then so is GTA.
Doesn't GTA have faction rep and multiple endings? It might actually be more of an rpg than skyrim. Hell it even has leveled stats that affect how you approach missions and aren't level scaled.
>Doesn't GTA have faction rep
???
how dumb are you

I only play Skyrim for the sex mods
Why would you not just play koikatsu unless you really enjoyed bethesdas wierd anthropomorphic characters and watching them have sex with dogs and horses and skeletons in bathtubs and what have you
Marriage.
Dialogue """options""".
Raiding dungeons.
Also, posting best bike. Don't care what else they released between 2017 and now.
OPs point still remains unchallenged.

OP f'ing Owned!

>who you align yourself with
Who's ''you'' in this case? Franklin?
The various npcs in the game that provide missions
OP is a little b***h and should go back
If Skyrim is an rpg I don't see why gta isnt.
Considering the amount of roleplay servers for GTA, I can see it being an RPG. Rockshart unironically created the responsive world Bethesdaft wanted to.
magic
?si=X3_OAA5HAGAT9nRn
dialog options?
I know that it isn't much but it's something
It's been awhile but didn't they have it baked into the phone mechanic or something?
This could have been a legitimate thread if you had used RDR2 as your example instead
That's a movie game, this is an rpg thread.
>literally has a light and dark character path with choice making
Lol, RDR2 is just so much of an RPG as Mass Effect and Kotor, get fricked
>Lol, RDR2 is just so much of an RPG as Mass Effect and Kotor, get fricked
So not at all?

nice copy pastea
I didn't copy/paste it, I wrote that out the first time last night, and it is a factually accurate post
