They need to add the mod support so we can remove all the copy & paste bs. If a planet has nothing but copy & paste content, it needs to be removed. Can't do that until mods are supported on Xbox. I am tired of seeing the same outpost 30xs just in hopes that I see something new.

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.

BotW was a way more believable experience on a character level than Skyrim. Skyrim was like watching Chuck-E-Cheese animatronics have a love-child with Monty Python and the Holy Grail.

Does BotW allow full customization of the protagonist, numerous completely unique builds, countless quests, official mod support, and a bunch of customizable companions with their own stories?

On top of that, is Botw on any platform besides switch?

It doesn't need to offer that because that's not a requirement of a game to be good. And if your role in a game is to play a certain character, then customization is inherently contrary to the story.

Games don't need mods to be good. Customizable companions aren't critical to every kind of game, and aren't necessary for telling a story.

A game doesn't need to be on every fucking platform to be good. Also, Starfield is only on PC and XBox, so how is that even an argument?

BotW was designed to be played on custom hardware for which it was MADE.

It blows my mind that people like you aren't clamoring for authors to only make "Choose Your Own Adventure" novels.

Art doesn't exist to CATER TO YOU. Not every game needs to be open-world, character customizable, moddable, bullshit. If you want that level of customization, learn fucking game development.

Also: fuck modders.

I never said it’s objectively good or bad. My point is that Bethesda games cater to me, just like how Zelda caters to you, dipshit.

You’re the one saying BOTW is better in every way than Skyrim while I was just saying that it has a unique feeling that no other game can replicate.

Edit: The entire point of my fucking argument is that I get why people don’t like Bethesda games but I personally love them and understand why they’re so big in the RPG genre.
