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 grew up with Morrowind but couldn't really play it, spent more time in Oblivion. Also I am nowhere close to a boomer. Skyrim also pales vs Oblivion fwiw.

      Oblivion is better than Skyrim. It just because Skyrim isn’t baldurs gate, does not make it bad

      It was never trying to be that

      In sure you aren’t a boomer. I was just making the joke that most gen x are the ones who worship morrowind

        I don't need Skyrim to be Baldurs Gate? Oblivion is also not Baldurs gate... but for what Oblivion removed from Morrowind, it was a big technical upgrade, a lot of QoL changes and some neat world sim stuff. Skyrim is just a regression.

        Sorry I have ledditors on leddit saying that too so basil-anxious-smile

            I like Oblivion but Enjoy Daggerfall and Morrowind. There are insufferable fanboys though, can agree lol
