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.

Also another thing that my friend pointed out to me is that it actually sucks ass that they made a game with the intent for it to be explored, but then made a main quest line that from a roleplaying perspective is actually super fucking urgent?

This never impacted me because I dont really think of that kind of thing? I dont set out to play a game like this from a roleplaying perspective (yes I know its a roleplaying game lol). I just want to do the STUFF (TM) thats in it.

Yeah I mean it was awkward in Oblivion when there were gates open everywhere and daedra pouring out and you just fucked off to mess around, but the solution was not to give it a knockoff Zelda plot...
