I was watching "...why Skyrim?" by Razbuten on sloptube this aft and it's so weird that it finally took Starfield for people to realise. Like Fallout 76 wasn't enough, only now are negative things people were first saying about Skyrim in 2012 finally bleeding into mainstream consciousness. It's so wild, like wow they ruined the magic system? The game has worse writing than a PS1 era Mega Man X game??? Skyrim is just shitty Game of Thrones?? Welcome to thirteen years ago!!

Bethesda hasn't made a really good game since 2002, but it'll probably be years before that realisation sinks in.

Oblivion is better than Skyrim is a crazy revisionist take

Maybe? I just Stan the elder scrolls game I grew up with.

But I also admit my bias is nostalgia based. Morrowind fanboys won’t

I like the design philosophy behind Morrowind the most, but yeah it's a lot of nostalgia as well
