It's not necessarily an RPG along the lines of Skyrim, but it's an RPG none the less. One of the best stories and some of the best character development I've ever seen in gaming.

The first is much more of a traditional RPG, but the latter two are more shooter oriented.

I'm surprised you're doing Bethesda games on the PS3 though. Fallout New Vegas and Skyrim never got along with it for me, so I got the 360 versions.

Do they perform better on your XBox 360 and Uncle Joe Aug 2014 #15
