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.

      Nah my first playthrough was on PS3, went fine. It is buggy and troublesome but I have completed playthroughs easily on vanilla PC final patch.

        Playing Bethesda games on consoles is always a mistake. But then, I think playing anything on consoles is a mistake. Handhelds are the only dedicated video game machines I respect.
