Axis by axis
Execution1 vs 3
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim leans clearly harder on execution.
Ghost Master
Assigning ghosts to fetters needs no dexterity
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Combat is forgiving; aim and timing rarely punish you.
Reads0 vs 0
Same score on reads - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Ghost Master
Mortal AI panics by rules, not by modelling you
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Enemy AI is scripted and exploitable; not adaptive.
Variance2 vs 2
Same score on variance - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Ghost Master
Mortal behaviour wanders but follows mappable logic
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Loot tables and leveled lists inject mild randomness.
Optimization7 vs 7
Same score on optimization - which means the number cannot separate them. The difference is in what each one asks of you.
Ghost Master
Ghost-power combos and plasm economy solve each haunting
The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim
Skill stacking, enchant loops, and exploits are deeply solvable.
