What hackers pick instead

• MorrowindOpen-world RPG praised for its rich story, freeform world and distinctive setting. Common caveats are a dated look and bugs, with crashes unless tweaked.26recommend
• SkyrimAn open-world role-playing game with a large, richly detailed world that people keep returning to for years after release. The most common caveat is bugs, crashes and a world some find repetitive.25recommend
• Fallout: New VegasPeople recommend it for its hand-built storylines, meaningful choices, and a world that still grips players years after release. Critics mostly point to its age, with setup and compatibility problems on modern PCs.15recommend
• The Elder Scrolls IV: OblivionRecommended for its atmosphere and world, and for becoming better years after release. Critics agree its level scaling undermines challenge and progression.11recommend
