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.

I feel like the turnaround coincided perfectly with the 8 hour Morrowind essay guy shitting on Skyrim for 20 hours straight in 2022, and suddenly everyone agreed with him, doubly so after Starfield came out.

I feel like the general consensus on Skyrim is that it’s kind of a waterdown game with a lot of faults, but it’s world design, vibes, and modding community is enough to make people keep coming back.

Besthesda games are bad but heavily modded Bethesda games are good

If you aren't modding bethesda games, you're doing it wrong.
