Was just thinking it really says something that anybody else doing Fallout (Black Isle, Obsidian, Jonathan Nolan) just beats the fucking shit out of anything Bethesda can think to do with it
Wild, they should keep hiring the guys that made the good ones instead of obstinately doing it themselves. That said, what is Bethesda actually good at other than marketing and owning the Ip?
Oblivion and skyrim are good because they're enjoyable games, actually
I think entertainment slop should just be entertainment slop. I don't need something "deep" or "complex" when I'm trying to relax/take a break from the troubles of real life
Apparently elder scrolls online is good too but that's a zenimax effort so that kinda goes towards proving your point
It's pretty good yeah

I mean Morrowind was good but it was the last ditch crazed flailing of a dying company that paid off.
Plus a good chunk of the people who made Morrowind good left during the development of Oblivion or Fallout. 3
