I have minimum expectations for Bethesda at this point. After Todd came out and said people didn't like Starfield because it was "too different" from Skyrim, I've lowered those expectations even further lol

Take all of the criticism that Starfield got and realize it's a fine line they have to walk. "More of the same Bethesda" to "not enough like their old games". They set out to make something brand new, it didn't hit with some, i'm 50/50 even though I have almost 150 hours in the game. It wasn't for everyone.

But I don't feel any trepidation when it comes to Fallout and Elder Scrolls. They'll do just fine with those.

Also....I wish they would be able to get away from Microsoft. They're just poison to any and every company they get their hands on.

I haven't played Stafield yet, because I'm not willing to pay anything close to retail for it, so all I know about it is second hand. With that said, the biggest critique I've heard of it was that the stories, from sidequests to main quest, were just boring and forgettable. If that's true, I'm very, very concerned about the future of both FO and ES.

The setting is new, but everything else is quite dated. They should have at least tried to spin off a new game engine, because using the legacy engine just made things feel too similar. They still have the same facial tics and glitches from previous games lol.

They just whiff on so much, like the artifact temples. Land 300m away from one, enter it, chase light bubbles - boom new power. Repeat x100

I don't either but there are gaps between entries in the series that are hard to reconcile. Did I think when I finished Skyrim that it would be 2024 and there isn't another SP elder scrolls game?
