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.

buncha generic brown grey fields and some snow

i'm going to take umbridge with this and echo somebody else in the thread: juniper, aspen, pine, high plains, and snowfields are all distinct, but i suppose continental biomes. as opposed to Oblivion 'marylanders impression of sherwood forest' i found it much more convincing, but maybe that's cause i've actually seen those things but not the english countryside

thinking-about-it Yeah I guess, I dunno, I like the marshy and the plains and the mountainous bits of Oblivion's world. Both pale compared to Morrowind ofc.
