I was watching "...why Skyrim?" by Razbuten on sloptube this aft and it's so weird that it finally took Starfield for people to realise. Like Fallout 76 wasn't enough, only now are negative things people were first saying about Skyrim in 2012 finally bleeding into mainstream consciousness. It's so wild, like wow they ruined the magic system? The game has worse writing than a PS1 era Mega Man X game??? Skyrim is just shitty Game of Thrones?? Welcome to thirteen years ago!!

Bethesda hasn't made a really good game since 2002, but it'll probably be years before that realisation sinks in.

Perhaps even more importantly, who else is out here releasing the SDK tools for their game alongside it and letting players just go nuts with radically altering the bland base experience? Nobody, not even Bethesda anymore.

I hope Avowed comes out someday and is cool because I like the Pillars of Eternity world but 100% chance that it's not moddable and just fades out of relevance within a year.

Avowed is going to be terrible and it's going to be a stain on the PoE world.
