Bethesda's latest can't help but feel shallow by comparison.

I just skip through the dialogue shit in Starfield. The fun is in the kleptomania dungeon crawling and just turning off your brain for stupid time. BG3 requires brain on. The last good Bethesda RPG that actually had depth to it was Morrowind. I feel so bad for all the younger people that never got to experience the good years of CRPGs. Not that bad tho... They can get their asses on GOG and get the old classics.

Just move to Skyrim and the DB quests is so generic compare to Oblivion. Giff me Whodunit

They did one good thing in the Skyrim DB quest: The guy you can kill by making it look like an accident. If they had all been more like that, or even with using disguises and just basically putting some Hitman into the game it would have been way better.

The disguise thing really irks me because even Oblivion had a better use for the system (the gray mask) and the system exists even in Starfield, but only Starfield seems to utilize it to near full potential, actually allowing you into restricted areas without question if you have the right uniform.

The uniform disguise thing is literally mods that existed for Oblivion, Skyrim and Fallout 4 for sure.

I know exactly what you mean. Me and my team are working on a very old school rpg that hopefully will be very immersive. We are working on Unreal Engine 5 and we are set to produce a playable prototype very soon!
