The games industry moves pretty fast, and there's a tendency for all involved to look constantly to what's next without so much worrying about what came before. That said, even an industry so entrenched in the now can learn from its past. So to refresh our collective memory and perhaps offer some perspective on our field's history, GamesIndustry.biz runs this monthly feature highlighting happenings in gaming from exactly a decade ago.

I don't like the NPC markers, but I also don't have a better solution. Players shouldn't be expected to complete a game of this size multiple times to be fulfilled by its quests‚ but then again, does every game need to make its best moments easily discoverable?

If anything, Elden Ring is a testament to FromSoft's dogged pursuit of ambiguous game design and how it gradually taught players how to enjoy its storytelling style over seven games and 13 years. I'm a little sad that, thanks to Elden Ring's adoption by a bigger audience than ever before in the series, parts of that philosophy are being compromised. All videogames are smoke-and-mirrors. Showing too much of their workings may well help players finish a checklist: it also makes the experience just that little bit more functional, and less surprising.

According to Fernandez, development on Fable was slow during his time at the company, claiming that Playground Games, “lacked people with knowledge" on how to actually make a slow-paced RPG.

"They're very smart and they know what they're doing. They wanted to branch out with something different and they thought that what they do well is open-world racing games, [but] they lacked people with the knowledge of how gameplay is done. In an open world, how you control a character and the actions are very different from what you have in a racing game."

Most games want to have a good story, with iconic characters, nuanced moral dilemmas, paced in the most engaging and absorbing way. But you can’t just put Mass Effect 2 into a computer and have it spit out a new game with all those elements rearranged in a different yet equally satisfying way. Andromeda’s combat, however, can be copied. I don’t know what Mass Effect 5’s story will be like, and I’m not sure if just adding in Liara is enough to capture the original trilogy’s magic. But if it uses Andromeda’s combat engine, maybe with a little bit of polish and some new abilities thrown in there, it will at least be a lot of fun to play, even if it’s not very good.

A decade after it first launched, millions of people are still playing, discussing, writing articles, and making videos about Bethesda's unstoppable fantasy RPG. There's something about Skyrim that keeps people coming back year after year, and it's made an impact on pop culture that most games could only dream of. Even if someone doesn't care about video games, they probably at least vaguely know what Skyrim is€ along with Super Mario, Tetris, and World of Warcraft. But why? What is it that makes this game so damn powerful?

I hope that Bethesda is keeping gameplay in the back for a good reason, and that the reveal will blow all of our tiny little minds. But at present, we know so little about the game and it’s infuriating that the developers are pretending that these faux-interviews are giving us any insight into what the game will be like. Multiple dialogue options? Different factions? This is the most basic RPG stuff.

Bethesda doesn’t have to spoil everything, I just want it to show something. Anything. Give me panning shots of planets, spaceships roaming the stars, let me see a freaky little alien giraffe that I’ll be able to befriend or corrupt depending on my moral alignment and skill choices. Just show me a weird purple creature! I’m excited to see a new science fiction IP in a world of endless Star Wars regurgitations and constant remakes and sequels, but Starfield hasn’t offered us anything new yet. It’s characters we don’t know in a universe we’ve never seen, but the only things that the devs have actually told us about so far are archaic RPG basics. Riveting.

The more times they sit us down with Todd & co, the less I want to play this game - a game I was once very excited for. Maybe I just won’t watch the next episode of Into the Starfield. Maybe Starfield isn’t real. Maybe Starfield will be great. I just wish Bethesda would stop pretending it’s letting us in on all the game’s secrets when it’s doing nothing of the sort.

I never got the unbridled fascination with Skyrim. It's a better-than-average game, but I didn't find anything particularly special about it. If it wasn't for the mods, people would have stopped talking about it a long time ago.

It is said that only in the darkest of times, true heroes are forged. But others may be lured by this darkness on a much easier path. Some follow this path out of selfish greed and lust for power, while others - out of a corrupted sense of duty, stopping at nothing to achieve their higher goals. Some of the most powerful ones have the dubious honor of being proclaimed Lords of Ravage. You'll take on the role of one of these Lords on the brink of their defeat. Search for a great artifact that can change the fate of this world. Deal with any heroes brave or foolish enough to interfere with your plans. Hunt for the forgotten artifacts, forge dark alliances and make daring raids to take by force everything your heart desires.
