5 RPGs that are harder than Skyrim

A selection of adventures for those who are not looking for easy ways in games. Skyrim has it all, including the much-desired high difficulty game. However, there are titles that are much more difficult to pass.

When it comes to iconic RPGs, The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim is usually at the top of the list. However, calling this title the best RPG is difficult, and many fans believe that this is not even the best Elder Scrolls game. So why do players keep returning to the snowy expanses of Skyrim?

It was the dynamic difficulty setting system that made Skyrim appealing to the masses. Players from all walks of life come together to experience this game, pixel-by-pixel. The dynamic difficulty system, with the ability to make it really difficult, also greatly improves replay value. However, we know five games that are much more difficult than even Skyrim at the Legendary level.

The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind

Skyrim is rightfully considered the easiest game in the Elder Scrolls series. At the time of Morrowind's launch, it had no game modes, and even at the start it was much more difficult than Skyrim. In Skyrim, from the very beginning, there were difficulty levels, such as "Expert" and "Legendary", which offer to test your skills. However, Morrowind, due to its uncompromising system of dialogues, character control and pumping, bypasses the fifth part of the series with its eyes closed.

Divinity: Original Sin II

Divinity: Original Sin II earned universal acclaim for its thoughtful design and RPG elements. The game is divided into acts, with the second being much more difficult than the first. This title has taken the RPG genre to a whole new level. Divinity: Original Sin II was created by the developers of Baldur's Gate 3. Playing as a squad of four, it becomes quite obvious that this is much more difficult than managing one Skyrim protagonist. This game will take you approximately sixty hours to complete, which is an incredible long time compared to Skyrim's main story, which takes about 33 hours.

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt

The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt has a good player preparation system, so at first the passage does not cause problems. You will have a few quiet hours in the game, after which complexity will collapse on your shoulders like a concrete slab. Suddenly, you will have to use all the spells and attacks of the Witcher to survive the fights.

The great thing about The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt is that the game isn't unnecessarily difficult. However, it is nowhere near as simple as Skyrim. If you're just into RPGs, play Skyrim and then The Witcher.

Dark Souls

When it comes to RPGs, Dark Souls is considered the benchmark for difficulty. When deciding whether a new title can be called difficult, it is always compared to Dark Souls, and this is not just.

Dark Souls is not just more difficult than Skyrim, a fifth of the scrolls were not even close. The difficulty levels built into Dark Souls make it one of the hardest games of all time. The developers even called the version of the game "Prepare to Die Edition" due to its incredible difficulty. You will die over and over again on the way to the final until you learn each location by heart.

Gothic

The unsurpassed leader of all times and peoples in terms of the level of difficulty of passing is Gothic. This RPG has rewritten all gaming canons. If The Witcher has good tutorials and Skyrim has difficulty levels, Gothic has none of that. The player immediately disappears into a large and cruel world, where even a couple of rats can kill him.

In addition, this game is extremely difficult not only in combat, but also in social interaction. Everyone around will be rude to the character and will not trust him until he proves his honesty or usefulness. It is almost impossible to find a companion without dropping a round sum for this, and any mistake in the dialogue can lead to a complete collapse of the quest. And no fast travel! Gothic deservedly can be called the most difficult RPG.
