That's not a hot take it's just objective fact

Elden Ring is Skyrim without the soul

Even Dragon Age did dragon fighting better

There where Dragons in Skyrim?

ER had better dragon fights
Skyrim had cooler dragons

Here's a challenge: name something besides mods that Skyrim did better.

ER's dragon fights are fucking awful though, the only ARPG to ever do large beast fights correctly is Dragon's Dogma and that's an objective fact

>A game released 20 years and two console generations later does a thing better
You would hope so

barney did dragons better than skyrim

neither has dragons, they are wyverns
Now dragons dogma, that game had dragons

No shit. ER is a game about pure gameplay and Skyrim is a game about questing and roleplaying.

NPCs, quests, roleplaying, story.

They are hard to compare because they are designed very differently. ER obviously has much better combat and gameplay in general. They are both great in world design. Music and aesthetics are good too but I'd still give those to Skyrim if I had to. Dark Souls has a better aesthetic than ER.

Skyrim doesn't have dragons

Ive watched my girlfriend play alot of ER and there has been exactly one dragon copy and pasted.

Don't forget the music

is that steven crowder noooooo get him off the screen get him off the screen nowwwww

this. it's not hard since Elder Scrolls games are somehow even worse than From Shit gaymes.

elden ring and skyrim have the same issue with dragons being all copy pasted tedious shit after the first one or two

>Stuck in early areas of the game

Skyrim dragon
>big piece of shit that clips through terrain, uses aoe attacks, and can't hit you if you go next to it's leg
Elden Ring dragon
>big piece of shit that clips through terrain, uses aoe attacks, and can't hit you if you go next to it's leg


wait a minute...

?
Skyrim has wyverns

>mount horse
>run up to leg
>spam attack
wooooooow so majestic

any game with dragons probably did them better than skyrim

why are you stuck? whats the problem?

Skyrim still has a much better OST, much more useful / immersive enchants and accessories, and an over all more lived in feeling

Settlements, dungeons, crypts, caves.

If elder scrolls has them as dragons, they're dragons

>ER's dragon fights are fucking awful though
they can be fun but only if you rely heavily on the horse. fighting a dragon on foot is a truly miserable experience.

not very hard to do lol

>they can be fun but only if you rely heavily on the horse.
yeah the problem is the horse combat sucks donkey dick too so yeah, they are fucking awful

I hate that they took the BOTW route music-wise in ER (shitty super short musical loops repeated 10 billions time) instead of the TES route, aka having real, quality music that plays when in the overworld.

How do you beat the undead dragon in the Valley of Drakes in Dark Souls?

puzzles
magic
leveling up system

spam projectiles from a safe distance

yeah, fucking shame. Barely any recognizable music while you ride in the overworld. That's a huge reason why skyrim's openness never really felt like a big deal— you had nice ambient music playing making the trip faster
