Given the trajectory of the series (and Bethesda games in general) I have this creeping fear that it's going to be even more watered down than Skyrim is. It seems like with every game Bethesda releases they strip away RPG elements and dialogue and "streamline" everything, effectively making their beloved RPG franchises into action-adventure games like they did with Fallout 4. What are the odds they turn it around and actually make the excellent first person open world RPG the series deserves?
My dream is for TES to get it's own New Vegas, a return-to-form RPG from an outside company that actually knows how to write an interesting video game

Overall the game wasn't really that bad, but the beginning seriously sucks in my opinion and it kind of ruins the tone for the rest of it. I don't know why Bethesda can't just give you a more simple, ambiguous start that allows you to craft your own backstory for your character, drops you in the game, then gives you an interesting plot thread to follow or just allows you to make your own adventure in their open world if you so desire.
I think that they think (perhaps correctly) that most gamers have no attention span and need some kind of instant gratification to get them into the game.
"ambiguity bad" - dumb corporations who want to appeal to the lowest common denominator at all costs
