Yeah, that's why I simply said it was a worse game than their previous titles (not worse RPG). I'd argue having better roleplaying mechanics without an interesting world to use them in is a preeeeetty useless endeavor.

[-] Cowbee@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Sure. I'd also argue that having better exploration without having decent roleplaying is also completely useless for an RPG.

For specifically an RPG but not for an overall game. There's a reason I still return to and mod skyrim

[-] Cowbee@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Sure, but that's not what my point was about.

[-] Orannis62@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

I don't understand the relevance of your point then

[-] Cowbee@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

The fact that Starfield is a better RPG than Skyrim and Fallout 4 at launch, which is due to Bethesda games largely being extremely mediocre and largely saved by mods.

[-] Orannis62@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

Undeniably true but also not the metric by which anyone judges any Bethesda games after Morrowind

[-] Cowbee@lemm.ee 1 points 1 year ago

Not actually true, Fallout fana especially how the IP has been treated.

[-] Orannis62@hexbear.net 1 points 1 year ago

Fair point actually, I was ignoring that because the only 3d Fallout that's a good rpg wasn't Bethesda, but you're right that it's still a metric the others are judged by
