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 do not disagree with any of this, true as fuck. Unlike in life, Skyrim's abolishment of the class system was a disaster. Like Todd didn't even get why specialisation existed before.
You claim to be a comrade, but you are upset when the class system is abolished, curious.
Reactionary video gaems need their class systems to function ok
The stated reason was to simplify the design and make it easier for players less familiar with the genre to understand. Honestly, not as much of a failure from that perspective.
"I am going to remove all the complexity" ended up being pretty profitable. It kind of sucks though, like yeah creating a class in Arcanum or whatever is convoluted, but they threw out everything.
