Console wars? Skyrim vs. Dark Souls???

2: Why would anyone who isn't even (a) being silly or (b) trying to get clicks/publicity want to compare two games that aren't even remotely similar, except for, superficially, setting?

And how would they be so different?

Mostly that ES have so much non-combat stuff, and that the combat is more EXP based than skill based. Also that it's mainly first-person (although, yeah, you can theoretically play it third person). I thought Oblivion was incredibly boring though and couldn't play for more than a few hours. That's just my personal taste, of course.

I think DeS/DaS is far more like a Castlevania: SotN/Bushido Blade crossover, which is far more appealing to me.
