While both games are loved by many people and as mentioned they have been rereleased in almost every new console generation,Skyrimis usually the one that people download each new version. A reason for the higher appeal forSkyrimis the type of game that it is.Skyrimis a role-playing game (RPG), meaning each player can create a different playthrough compared to other players. Bethesda Studios went all out for this RPG.
Giving the players complete control of what they want their characters to look and play as is the definition of great RPG, but they didn’t stop there! Setting the game in an open world gives the player numerous options on the order they tackle story and side quests. Players can also play in either first or third person perspective; giving the player the option to truly feel like the character they’ve created for themselves.

One unique feature that also helpsSkyrimstand out against the competition is the “morality” system in the game. Throughout the game, you’ll encounter certain characters and items that can only be obtained depending on the characters you kill and spare throughout your journey. WhileGTA Vshares similarities toSkyrim, it fails to compete with it in terms of replay value. Sure people love playing the Online servers forGTA Vand there are those that’ll boot it up just to kill NPCs and get chased by the policed, but compared to the vast character and story options available inSkyrim GTAwill fall short every time.
