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.

    Everyone I've meet who really enjoyed it said they ignored the main quest and just dicked around.

    Similar with Fallout 3.

    I played it that way and enjoyed myself.

      Fallout 3 is good for dicking around in at least, never found much joy in Skyrim side stuff.

              Yeah maybe, I dunno. Ignoring the main quests in Oblivion and F3 already feels weird though, now I have to pick for very specific scraps?
