Got to do better than Star field and come close to BG3 , dark souls, elden ring. Chances are they hit the reset button after it became apparent they couldn't coast on the mod community

Doing better than starfield shouldn't be hard for them. Getting on par with the quality of Divinity Original Sin, much less Baldur's Gate 3, is likely beyond bethesda's ability, tho.

Just hire Kirkbride back goddamnit. I installed Immortals of Aveum and saw that Kirkbride is the main writer and got pumped on the game but that damn thing keeps crashing on me. So I'm back to just playing Diablo or Minecraft for the time being.

All of these were lovingly crafted bespoke characters and story arcs, with god only knows how many hours of real human thought put into the story, the setting, and the dialogue.

Bethesda execs don't want any of that shit. They want a big button that says "MAKE NEW GAME" that they can slap and then a new game that pops out of a slot on the other side of their computers.

The mod community is so vital to these modern games because its real humans having real human ideas that go into them. Business only gets to latch on after the fact, once a DOTA or CS:GO has already fully taken off and left orbit.
