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.

      I think this is why I end up actually enjoying the game despite its obvious massive flaws. Because I enjoy this playstyle, and also the process of exploring the game at my own pace rather than following quest lines (so the quest marker thing doesnt bother me). I just happen to have a very specific playstyle that happens to make the game fun for me.
