For example, I've temporarily dropped Valkyrie Profile 2 to play the Witcher, which has a much darker feel. And it's a feel that I personally liked. Another example is the mod Blood and Mud, which is in my opinion on of the best mods for Oblivion. Again, it has a darker ambiance. So, what are some of the dark games yall are playing? Also, who has played the new Zelda Twilight Princess? What is everyone's opinion on the darker feel of the game, of which is unusual compared to the rest of the series.

Hm dark games...the dark brotherhood quests in oblivion where pretty "dark" i guess. ah and the Splinter Cell game has a dark feel around it. When i think of more i'll post them. ;)

I'm the weirdo in the Zelda series, as I think that Majora's Mask was a great title as well, and Twilight Princess seemed to carry a similiar theme. The Dark Brotherhood quest certainly did carry that dark them as well, and they were probably the best quests in the game. I think they were even better than the main quest!

Oh I'm proud of my first post in that thread; probably one of my better fight scenes that I've written so far. I remember two years ago I sucked at writing fight scenes.

I haven't gotten too far in the DB quests in Oblivion, so I can't say how dark they truely are. I definitely enjoyed the later Harry Potter books with the darker theme and mood more than the first few, which seemed...happier I guess would be the word.

For exemple. When Link ride his horse and encounter dark, ugly orcs (the first horse battle i think) in an open field, it has epic proportions since you feel like "the" hero. The only one who can bring down this darkness :) Dark games I played...well there is Resident Evil (0, code veronica, nemesis and some more), Parasite Eve, Gears of war, Doom, Quake...and probably more :p As for the dark brotherhood quests, I think bethesda feared to be too brutal in any of their quests. In DB you don't really feel like a murderous fellow in my opinion. Everything surrounding is still simpatic (well the people and the contexts, of course the bodies and blood around you isnt simpatic :p). IMO the DB questline lack of depth.
