In August 2023, Todd Howard described his intent behind The Elder Scrolls VI as wanting to make "the ultimate fantasy-world simulator",

That's when you should have known. TES is at heart a novelistic series that is owned by a studio whose entire style is now "short term crafting and gameplay loops occurring within a physics simulation".

The same could be said of Skyrim, but tons of people loved it and it's still a great framework for modding if Bethesda themselves don't give it a good storyline.

Quite so, but I'll be damned if fans are ever going to redo TES6 in whatever engine they make for (god forbid) TES10, forty years from now.
