Which one do you prefer? I know its not entirely fare to compare them, as they aimed to do different things but they do share similar qualities: exploration, telling a story through the environment, and a living breathing world

Eh, it really depends on what I'm in the mood to play. If I want npc interaction and structured quests, I go with Skyrim. If I want intense, methodical action in a lonely and dangerous world, I go with Dark Souls. Bethesda and From Software both did excellent work with their own formulae, rough edges notwithstanding.
Well i wouldnt say dark souls was set in a "living and breathing world". Your character and all others are dead. Exploring SOME version of hell.
EDIT: To answer your question, dark souls. Feels more focused to me. Which i like, too much empty in skyrim.

Skyrim has a much better world if you ask me and better NPC interactions. As well as more varied game play. Dark souls is a game I play if I am bored of everything else I don't think I have finished it yet. Overall I would say Skyrim.
Dark souls . But only if you like challenging games . They are hard to compare but honestly i had more fun with dark souls . Sure skyrim had more freedom , but sometimes too much freedom is a bad thing . Plus i prefered the atmosphee of dark souls . It was pretty and dark at the same time .
Depends on whether you prefer psychotically difficult action JRPGs or hiking sims with RPG elements.
Skyrim when you feel like exploring, Dark Souls when you feel like fighting a boss, GTA when you feel like running over hookers, Mario when you feel like doing shrooms with a hairy Italian plumber...
Considering that Skyrim is the one that people shouted about how many hours it took away from them and Dark Souls was the one I ended up putting more time into and I'm STILL not done with it, I'm going with Dark Souls. Also the combat feels like its more than just run up to the guy and hack away.
Despite having only a few NPCs, Dark Souls feels much more alive than Skyrim. The game feels much more well executed, but that's probably because none of the content is randomly generated. They both have a great amount of choice when it comes to combat, but Dark Souls actually feels fulfilling and fun while Skyrim falls on its face.
Dark Souls. I sunk a lot of time into both, but Dark Souls had the best gameplay of any game I played last year.
Dark Souls. I loved faffing about in Skyrim, but it's just plain soulless in more than one way. The world huge, with lots to do, but nothing I do seems to matter a damn thing.
Dark Souls because Skyrim isn't very well made. The npcs are creepy, the dungeons are all the same and the combat is rubbish. Dark Souls has okay combat and well designed levels but doesn't have much of a story (though this doesn't bother me) and is a bit unfair.
Fittingly, my captcha was "foul play" which sums up my feelings of some parts of Dark souls.

Skyrim mainly because of the giant hidden story full of mind-fuckery the ES series has that most people will never know about.
Sithis = Lorkhan = Akatosh = Talos
Spaceships
Time Traveling War Fractals
Robots from the 9th Era
Gods fusing into other gods to become new gods that are really just older gods
ES has some great lore, they just never outright state it in the game because its so weird

Dark Souls does that too. The average player may read a book or item description here and there, but then a dedicated player reads everything, pieces it together, and blows your mind.SajuukKhar said:
