Dark souls. No hand holding. Spears. Actually intersting combat. Good online(or st the very least online). Dragons that are interesting. Better equipment. Better lore (this you can argue about). I could go on for a while lol

Have you patched it to play with a controller?

Controllers are the exact reason I switched to the mustard race.

I don't think dark souls could be properly played with a keyboard... Maybe but a controller just would have a better feel

I can understand that. So other than poor controls and lack of mods is there anything else you dislike about souls?

Not really, very enjoyable game, just not on PC.

Just curious as to how skyrim is better in your opinion.
Title: Re: Dark Souls Vs Skyrim

Personally I prefer ds over skyrim but there's a few things that pop into my head why someone would like elder scrolls more

More open world
Do lots of non combat related stuff (everything in souls save the covenants, but even some of the covenants required fighting)
Dark souls may just be too hard / scary (I know on my first play through I jumped once or twice)
Skyrim u can ride horses
Skyrim you can pause

I can't really think of anything else, I never really got into skyrim just because I bought it and souls at the same time for 360

All ok arguements for some people, I just think the scrolls series has gone downhill.

On 360 I got used to sprinting with my middle finger and camera angles on right analog with index must be wierd on pc

they did indeed dumb it down in skyrim, but the game in itself was no worse for wear, it is still the same fun exploring, questing, killing, stealing, looting, and leveling that I have enjoyed in oblivion, while I did not like the main storyline as good, it was not bad, and the game looks awesome and has (almost) endless things for you to do.

For me the main storyline was that of Wizard / Assassin / Thief (I actually finished that on Skyrim, while I did not in Oblivion) so for me the story is much better in Skyrim than Oblivion. I also finished the main main storyline in S while I got bored in O.

I think that Skyrim quests are better but I thought that Oblivion had a better overall storyline.

Never gotten to play dark souls but I've heard it's wonderful (and crazy challenging)
I'm quite honestly sick of skyrim because although the game was really great
Random dragons that spawn way beyond my level ruined it for me. Plus it's very glitchy I don't know how many times I've been killed by dragons/giants/random high level critters that were lagged into the ground and killed me from beneath my character -.-

Well, if you're interested it's available on steam for $7.49 for the next 30 hours or so.

Skyrim for PC. Dark souls controls are way too confusing and don't work for PC and I can't afford a controller. Skyrim is more open world and has more customization, and literally infinite quests. It is a lot easier though.

I rank them like this
1. Oblivion
2. Dark Souls II
3. Dark Souls
4. Skyrim

Oblivion is still my favorite fantasy RPG, but having played DS and DS2 I find them both to be AWESOME and although there are less things to do, they have skyrim beat by a mile in gameplay and combat systems. Oblivion is #1 just because it's like a happier skyrim + a nostalgia trip.

Dark Souls 100%. No coddling in that game.
