But government-funded games always suck.

What a great idea, I'd love to see my government fund my development

Be afraid, be very afraid!

There is currently government funding of a sort, it's more tax breaks for devs but it's still money.

We will have to agree to disagree about that one.

KoA is a combat oriented RPG set in a directed world while Skyrim is more open sand-box (or as I read somebody put it - "a hiking simulator" ).

Yup. KoA is an "RPG Beat'em Up". It's an ABOMINATION! I jest. It is a shame though, I actually like the RPG aspects of it and the world/lore seems like it could be interesting, but I cannot stand the arcade beat'em up style combat. I don't play RPGs for their combo moves. Just my personal preference of course.
