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

    It could have really tackled things like imperialism, racism, legal moralism, the thieves guild could have offered up a critique of class society and been explicitly revolutionary.

    But instead it was made by liberals under capitalism.

    I would LOVE to see one of my favourite game franchises made with real ideas and shit, instead of being watered down more with each iteration. But that ain't gonna come from AAA studios.
