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.

Nah, I mostly did it desperately trying to enjoy the game. See enemy, click to ready destruction magic, hold down both mouse buttons until dead... Skyrim was easy to play because it's mindless, borderline 0 mental effort to engage. A podcast game almost.

You're basically right about the, remaking-the-same-slop, I just find it weird it took so long for people to notice.
