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.

If I want to play a full rpg. I’m not going to be playing a post daggerfall Bethesda game.

It’s just not that good of a role playing experience

Better than Skyrim or Oblivion? Sure. But it’s not some masterpiece of rpg gaming Bethesda games have since morrowind and todd Howard been far more about the exploration than the role playing

If you’re trying to gatekeep rpgs with Morrowind. I’m sorry but that’s laughable to me

Keep in mind these are video game treats people. Please don’t go insane because I’m not a morrowind fanboy
