Oh no, not this pattern again - whenever some dev manages to get few games that are good and have nice sales, the ego talk starts. Seems like another Cevat Yerli in making....

No, they have some praise for Skyrim too. But Like he was saying about naming 5 characters, I dont think I could name 5 decent characters from Skyrim ether. And dat terrible combat.  

I can't name 5 characters from all the Elder Scrolls together - not to mention Might and Magic which I like 10x more. Those are just not that types of games, they are world, not narrative driven.

ES comes from computer RPGs, where there has always been quite clear distinction between world and narrative games. Now, I do prefer when they mix both and make perfect blend (like Gothic or Fallout 1/2), but to neg the games cause of lack of narrative and memorable characters to me seems like not understanding the genres in the first place.
