I mean dark brotherhood is literaly the only thing i even remember from skyrim and not even beacuse of the questline but beacuse of the ability to kill the kidnaper and raid the brotherhood( and the music. The music in skyrim was amazing or at the very least very iconic ). Never finished Skyrim myself beacuse i just got bored at some point. In essence times have changed and they cant really make the same game over and over again. They need to innovate in a more meanigfull way. And that seems to be the main point of criticism. i myself havent played nor do i intend to since at least until i get an xbox or better pc. And probably even then i wouldnt play it . I prefer more story heavy rpgs like dragon age or witcher.

They need to innovate

Dude, I'm sorry, but what the fuck is this? Bethesda games have always been story heavy. I've put 23 hours into this game so far and have seen combat maybe once an hour because I get so sucked into the story and lore. The same happened for Skyrim the more I played. I'm sorry it wasn't memorable for you for whatever fucking reason, but the fact that the game and its story has been memed to death and is still talked about means it's clearly memorable. Fuck me even Oblivion was arguably much more story heavy, and I LOVE that games story.

Since when did they NEED to innovate? I mean I could understand the argument for needing to vastly improve animations, facial expressions, etc. But they're not Apple. Why change something that already works? Clearly Bethesda fans and even some critics don't have a problem with the existing formula. Because it works. There's nothing wrong with it, and it's fun. And it's not like Bethesda doesn't introduce anything new to their games. The base building in Fallout 4 was the best fun I had with that game, and even that was a disappointment.

Anything else?
