What game should I buy?

I've jumped back into gaming lately to try to pass the time before football season. I decided to get caught up on assassins creed so I beat all of them over the course of the past two months. Now I need something else.

I like swords/knights kinds of games. I thought about Skyrim but I have never played an elder scrolls game and supposedly Skyrim is very very complicated.

Any recommendations from the VN world?

Not into MMO's by the way. I do love a good RPG though.

Skyrim would be a good choice. Elder scrolls games aren't as complicated as done some make them out to be, although it is definitely one of the deeper games out there. No reason you couldn't get 200+ quality hours out of it.

Went with Final Fantasy XIII. I was obsessed with the FF series when I was younger (Final Fantasy 7 and Final Fantasy Tactics are the 2 greatest RPG's ever made). Played them all but the last one I played was FF12 in college and it sucked. At least this one will occupy my time and if it doesn't there's a sequel.

Yes. You can pick up the greatest hits of both for $70 combined.

Since you like sword fighting games, check out Demon Souls(PS3 only), or it's sequel Dark Souls(either system). Very unique in many ways.

Overwhelming to a new player, sure, but ES has gotten less and less complicated as the series has progressed.
