what the fuck happened to bethesda after morrowind
They've been coasting ever since. The thing that gets me is how every game gets hyped as some technical marvel, then has environments/AI/graphics that were common 5+ years ago. A game doesn't need higher fidelity graphics, more detailed environments, or better AI to be good, but they promise and fail to deliver every time. I guess they focus on that because it's easier to market tech than writing.
People are mind blown that they added mantling(no not the cool esoteric kind) to Starfield, like instead of awkwardly humping your way up the terrain you do a little animation and climb up ledges.
I wonder how many dev hours they put into each game's proc-gen gimmick.
After Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, and FO4, you'd think they'd stop trying to do proc-gen content. Every single time, it's a low point in the game.
The thing about Bethesda is that they're the only ones who make RPGs in that specific open-world style. It'd be nice if we saw another studio take a crack at it
