Plus come on... space and customer ship! :D

Yeah, I have thousands of hours in Bethesda games. Something about sneaking around murdering bandits, mutants, mythical beasts, heavily armored soldiers, etc. especially sniping them with a bow in Skyrim and watching everyone run around like "who shot Steve in the face!?", that was just... chef's kiss. That and finding something interesting around every corner, and just the visual aspect of it. It's hard to explain but there is a certain Bethesda magic that no other game really captures. Plus the modding...
