Why not better going to play a better game that's actually handcrafted instead? We had a tone this year.

Why bother into fixing what a massive developer should have done?

There’s a reason Bethesda’s become a giant in gaming. They have a specific storytelling, game design and world building that’s unique to them.

Sure, other games may have better designed worlds, but something about Bethesda games just makes them unreplacable(?). There’s also the fact that they’re the only xbox games with an actual modding community and some really in depth mods.

Yes, their old masterpieces.

They have a specific storytelling

Being honest, their storytelling feels very outdated by now, even old trilogies like Mass Effect and Bioshock had a storytelling that has aged far better; not to mention TW3, RDR2 and just recently Baldur's Gate 3.

something about Bethesda games just makes them unreplaceable(?)

"something" is called nostalgia.

Actually, my first Bethesda game was Fallout 4 in like 2018ish and I couldn’t get into their older works(NV and older) because of how dated they were for me.

But, Starfield captures exactly what drew me to Fo4 and Skyrim when I first played them.

fallout 3 and new vegas are goated so it really sucks you can't get into them but if the fo3 remastered rumors are true that could be sick. for old and new players

Yea, that’d be awesome. I’d love a New Vegas or Morrowind with Fo4 or Skyrim’s gameplay and mod support.

Imo that’d easily win GOTY
