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

    I think most people really like Skyrim dude, don't worry. It's watered down, but it's tolerable. Fallout 4 and 76 are the games people really seem to hate.

        No, I just replied to you with words i meant for another poster further down the thread on accident.

        Regardless, I do think Fallout 4 and 76 are the games that get the most ire.

          Well regardless, all I'm saying is that I'm tired of "dumbing down" and "lowest common denominator" discourse

          Not that it'll stop me from having my casual fun (obviously not defending beth btw, I'm basically saying "let people enjoy things")

            Oh yeah, im not going to shit on somebody for Enjoying something like Fallout 4, I liked it enough myself. I just would have preferred for my tastes for it to be more like Oblivion or New Vegas and I hope ES6 is more like those games.

            Not going to attack somebody for enjoying something though.
