HA12 - Task 1 Analysis

My genre of game is action role playing games. I will be analysing games such as Fallout 4, Skyrim and Dragon Age Inquisition.

Fallout 4 is an action RPG developed by Bethesda Studios and released in 2015. Previous fallout titles include Fallout 3 and Fallout New Vegas. Fallout 4 became a massive hit upon release and brought plenty of new features such as building settlements and upgrading them. The genre makes the game so much better, due to the huge range of activities and exploration you can do in the massive open world, as compared to other genres such as FPS, which are generally in small, tight maps whereas in fallout the world is huge. The voice acting and narrating in Fallout 4 is quite well done. Interacting with other people is quite easy and your character responds very well and professionally. The main character in the game is portrayed by how you play him or her. If you choose to be evil, your character will be portrayed as an evil person with bad karma whereas if you help others, it will be shown with your good karma. There are NPC characters in the game such as Raiders, who are bad characters and are well known for doing evil things such as killing of other innocent people. Overall, Fallout 4 is one of the greatest Action RPG games of all time as it ticks all the boxes in what makes an RTS game an amazing experience.




The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is the fifth installment to the incredibly popular Elder Scrolls series, and was also developed by Bethesda Studios. Skyrim sold over 20 million copies and won multiple awards such as RPG game of the year and Game of the year. Skyrim is a great RPG experience and has plenty to do in its huge open world, such as buy a house and decorate it or upgrading your weapon and armour while exploring dungeons and slaying anything that is an enemy. The narrators of the game make the game much better, due to their medieval like accents and voices. Characters in Skyrim have a very medieval look, including dirt and scars on the face along with long hair. The main character can be made to either do good for the world of skyrim or become evil. Overall, Skyrim is also a great Action RPG which changed the RPG genre due to its huge success.





Dragon Age Inquisition is a game developed by BioWare and published by Electronic Arts. Previous Dragon Age games included Dragon Age Origins and Dragon Age 2. ragon Age Inquisition was greeted with mostly positive reviews and won many awards such as Game of the Year awards. It is also another great example of an Action RPG as it involves plenty of combat and a huge world to explore. The narrating is also very good and makes the telling of the story much more interesting. The characters can be manipulated and judging by your actions, will either feel positive or negative about you. Even your companions can be changed depending on your relationship to them. Overall, Dragon Age Inquisition feels like an amazing RPG due to its many features such as companionship, customisation, combat and the tension that your actions may cause.
