Quietly sitting at an 84 average. The algorithm never did this one any favors. Role-playing in the deep end, from the studio behind Skyrim — fantasy, historical, character builds you'll theorycraft about, and a world that rewards curiosity. No multiplayer, no problem — the campaign carries the whole thing.
