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.

As a simple example, the main villain in Skyrim is an evil dragon who wants to eat the world. The main villain in Fallout is a faction in the basement of MIT who are replacing a bunch of people on the surface with robotic clones for no discernable reason. I'm serious. You can join the faction and even become the leader in typical bethesda fashion and they never explain why they're replacing everyone with robots.

Because the writers said so lole pain Who woulda thunk the synth sidequest in Fallout 3 would lead to this...
