5. The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim

You can wear helmets with horns in Skyrim, but your character’s voice is never heard though.

If one thing is clear, is that Skyrim is one of the best role-playing games in recent memory, and a game that offers hundreds of hours of gameplay. Actually, Skyrim’s main quest, despite being quite engaging, was merely an appetiser as the game offered tons of content that was peripheral to the main quest, letting players wander off the beaten path.

Like earlier Bethesda games, players could also customize their characters as they saw fit, deciding to play as a muscle-bound Nord warrior, an Elven mage, or anything that would suit their taste. But perhaps players missed hearing their character’s voice in Skyrim, as the player character would not utter a single word during the game, just make combat noises and shout in the game’s dragon language… But then again, it is clear that video game heroes have never been a refined lot, that’s for sure…
