they’re the best rated modern RPG
franchises welcome to watchmojo.com and
for this showdown
it’s Mass Effect versus the Elder
Scrolls round one depth of universe both
Bioware and Bethesda have created
entirely new worlds for their games to
take place in despite the fantasy
setting of one and the sci-fi setting of
the other the similarities in this
category are numerous this is a tough
one both have a wide array of races
specific to their universe not only does
each game have a variety of shapes and
sizes for their characters but both have
histories and habits attached to their
races that give these universes
incredible depth I am the very model of
a scientist Silurian I’ve studied
species turian asari and bacteria from
the disappearance of the dwarves in
Tamriel to the genophage of the Krogan
such rich lore allows both franchises to
weave topics like racism and Prejudice
into the narratives their players
partake in every night I walk around a
grey quarter and let dim grayskin snow
what I think of them unfair though it
may sound since it’s got five games
worth of lore under its belt we’re gonna
have to give the Elder Scrolls the nod
how does that make you feel Shepard
winner the Elder Scrolls round 2 story
what are the odds that saving the world
would come down to one person so many
times the Elder Scrolls frequently has
the protagonist becoming some sort of
Messiah or in the case of oblivion the
Messiah’s best friend while there is
plenty of room to swing the moral
pendulum throughout Tamriel completing
the main story always results in you
vanquishing the bad guys in a world and
universe where you can choose to play
however you wish there is surprisingly
very little choice in this respect this
is where Mass Effect shines while many
criticized it’s polarizing choice system
it cannot be argued that the choices you
make do not have major consequences on
the universe characters die allegiances
are shattered and the way it all wraps
up in the end depends on well whether
you want to be nice or not I thought you
were a hero heroes don’t do things like
this it’s this masterful variability
that gives Mass Effect the win in this
category winner Mass Effect
thanks for sharing what you’ve learned
morton round 3 character customizability
for the role playing game err it’s all
about having it your way character
classes and genders
side in mass effect the player is always
Shepard while much of the character
development comes from speech choices
many players realized that they are
forced to stick to using only Paragon or
only renegade conversation options in
order to unlock the higher-level speech
options which arguably removes choice
from the game I have to prove anything
spectres are above the law the clear
Elder Scrolls on the other hand is the
role players dream a traces an
unrestricted class system and access to
every skill in the game for all
characters is just the beginning did we
mention the gear because in Mass Effect
1 the gear system is bloated and
cumbersome while at number 2 its
non-existent Elder Scrolls gets the
point here Mass Effect might have
options but all those options are
Shepard winner Elder Scrolls don’t blame
me round 4 gameplay another tough one
Mass Effect has tighter gameplay but
it’s a very linear experience Elder
Scrolls is about as open as it gets but
it’s combat is loose and its user
interface is looser
Mass Effect succeeds because of its
simplicity and elder scrolls because of
its complexity Elder Scrolls gets
massive credit for being so ambitious
and succeeding for the most part however
Mass Effect’s gameplay offers less
freedom and variety but is substantially
tighter so it gets the nod oh and you
can create mini black holes too always
good winner
Mass Effect around 5 replay value to sum
if an RPG doesn’t take at least 50 hours
of your life away it’s not worth a
minute of your time
Mass Effect is a great game to play a
second time character bonuses aside
players can try the different classes
and pick all the speech options they had
to ignore the first time around
however after a second playthrough the
content is all the same and all the fun
speech options have been heard neutral
doesn’t count damn it Oh My gods
ostriches only work when your enemy
cares if they live this is where the
Elder Scrolls really pulls in front all
the races skills and factions are only
the beginning maybe you’ll be a vampire
this time around maybe you’ll try to
kill every NPC in the world there’s
always something you haven’t done yet in
Tamriel the winner Elder Scrolls are
these games on comparable sure did we
just compare them you bet and if you can
count you know that the Elder Scrolls is
the winner this time around better luck
next time chef
