Games

As well as reading I got help for my plots with playing games, some games have their own lore and comics while others have you guessing or in some cases don't have plots at all, which are not helpful and are what I will not be talking about but an example would be pac-man or super hexagon.


Skyrim;  follows the story of a chosen one, you,  who upon arriving in this new land was arrested for being in the wrong place at the wrong time and sent to be executed, however the trial was stopped because of the reawakening of Dragons in the land (though the dragons shown are wyverns because of the 4 limbs they have, if they had 6 they would be dragons).

You are the only one who could keep the dragons dead by absorbing their souls, you are known as the Dovahkiin, or dragonborn.




There is a war at this point so you must choose a side between the imperials and the stormcloaks, the imperials have been in charge for thousands of years and have only recently made an alliance with the high elves which sparked the war as the high elves banned the worshipping of talos, in response the stormcloaks wanted to gain power and with the recent murder of the high king became confident.


Wolf amoung us follows the stories of fairy tale characters after their stories had been finished, you play the big bad wolf who is feared greatly by most. you must investigate a murder of a fable (fairy tale person) infront of your office, while investigating you find out that the murders are only a cover up for far more darker things.


This man chose similar choices to what I made so would be a great example of the game from my perspective.

I love tell tale games style of art it looks sketchy and comic like.


Walking dead, another game by tell tale, based on comics which also lead to a TV show, follows the tale of Lee a ex history teacher who killed a man who was cheating with his wife, he witnesses a lot of death around him as the game progresses and looses both friends and acquaintances. The game has lots of choices which effect not only the peoples around him but the second season immensely which is following a young girl he was taking care of.




The style is a lot like they are trying to force a 3D image back into 2D, all the textures are merely the lines and shading.

Shadowrunners Return follows the story of you, an shadowrunner, which is someone who takes the law into their own hands in this world but not always legally, and you are trying to find your best friends and runner buddys killer, he contacts you with a recorded message as if he suspected to be murdered however the deeper you search the darker to truth is, the killer you suspected all along is apart of some otherworldly cult which wishes to summon immortal creatures to your world in order for themselves to be 'free'.



Battleblock theatre is a surprisingly dark humour or potty humoured game where you are trapped on an island with your party buddies after your ship crashes into it and you get taken captive by super intelligent cats who want you to go through trails for their own amusement while you try to rescue your friends you suspect your good friend has joined the cats side, or has been brainwashed and when you finish the trails(which should really be played in multiplayer!) you get to hatty(your friend) only to find out he has lost himself or has died.
all the while a talkative narrator gives you a puppet show and some strange jokes

The style is simple but cute, no real expressions are given to the characters except their mouths and that is only given in the puppet shows or with the heads you can get
