    They’re not really interested in beating the “development has barely progressed at all” allegations, are they?

      Fallout 4 is definitely more good than bad.

      I’ve been having fun with Oblivion remaster, not having played the original.

      I’ve had lots of fun with Skyrim

      I’m not going to write off ES6 yet.

        You play any of those on release? My first Bethesda game was Morrowind on the original Xbox. BGS games always get better with age. They tend to be very doodie on release. I expect more doodie releases from them. Oblivion remaster wasn’t made by BGS which is probably why it was not doodie on release.

          Fo4 is not too bad on release, i don’t really have any crash, not much bug either(i5 4440, 1060 3gb, 8gb ram), but i do remember monsignor plaza is notorious for crashing.

              “Choice that matter” haven’t been BGS strength since Oblivion, and that’s not really why I play their games anyway.

        Fallout 4 as a modding platform for a apocalyptic sandbox? Sure.

        As an actual story and RPG to experience like the rest of the series before it (barring Fo3)? Fuck no.

      People who play TES games without even knowing who Kirkbride is don’t do so because they like the setting, they do so because the game was advertised to them and it’s trending on TikTok. Bethesda has been dickriding his lore for 20 years, and every installment just makes it worse instead of better because they can’t actually write metaphysics and philosophy that generate interesting worlds.

    “A sentinel is a person, animal, or thing that stands guard or keeps watch to detect and warn against danger or surprise.”

    As in: we will be keeping watch for the surprise of … The game actually ever releasing in this century

        I couldn’t help but make the joke, but yeah that follows with their typical naming method. Skyrim, Oblivion, Morrowind, daggerfall. It’s usually a place

        so in other words, bethesda saw everyone accurately calling that it would be called “hammerfell” and decided it had to be changed.

          It may actually not be in Hammerfell only. There’s a chance it will have High Rock too similar to TES: Daggerfall

          So, maybe they didn’t want to name it after one region when the game will have two regions

      Bethesda of today would struggle with the goddamn weirdness that is Black Marsh in the lore. I’d rather have it remain this weird, alien place that we only know from stories than have Bethesda do a George Lucas and ruin the mystique of the lore by showing us some cookie cutter version of it.

        I think that’s part of what I mean, too. Morrowind was so alien, it did not feel like earth, and I’ve been longing for that again. They took their niche setting and made it for the masses. Everything I’ve seen them do feels like they get more watered down, more earth like

        Deserts are cool but I can’t shake the feeling they’re going to just make magical Egypt to play it safe. If they do ever make black marsh, were not really going to get black marsh, I’m never going to see their alien planet again

        If by “of today” you mean “since 2006”, then I agree.

        Don’t forget what Cyrodiil was meant to be like, prior to Oblivion.

        Just wait on the Beyond Skyrim projects to see the rest of Tamriel (or Tamriel Rebuilt and sibling projects, for Morrowind). They will, without a shadow of a doubt, be better than anything Bethesda puts out.
