This is the attitude that forced Blizzard to rework everything about themselves, caused FFXIV to launch in a disastrous state, and made Concord

I think that's ultimately it. The next TES is going to be a disaster.
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.
This has been obvious for a few years now. I used to get shit on for voicing this opinion a couple years ago and now it seems almost universally agreed upon. Bethesda is truly shit now.
And Rings of Power is the best Tolkien adaptation.
Sounds like more "toxic positivity".
I wonder if there is some definition gap in what Bethesda thinks makes a good game and what make a good game in the eyes of players.
They have probably done a lot behind the scenes improvements that warrants them to say that this has been the best to work on, but clearly it's not the best to play.

"This is, of course, a slightly wild thing for the studio that made Morrowind (its actual best game) and Skyrim (its most popular game by miles) to say"
Accurate
Fallout 3 deserves a mention as a third most relevant.
talk about smelling their own farts
Yeah.
It's so depressing.
Like you telling me out of 250 developers on Starfield, nobody is losing their shit that this project isnt at all critically acclaimed like many of their other releases?
What do you mean Skyrim? Morrowind was clearly the best game they ever made.
Skyrim had their best gameplay loop, but Morrowind's writing carried the entire series. Very excited for Skywind to give me the best of both.
Been waiting since 2012. Tried some early builds too, will be very excited to play Skywind it releases eventually.
shit we might get tes 6 by the time skywind comes out 😂
funny how we've been waiting for both for about 12 years now
I'm still waiting for the Morrowind Expanded landmass mod to be finished, and that was for Morrowind
Morrowind Expanded landmass
This one? Looks like they're at least making progress you can download and play now!
I love Morriwinds memory, but the gameplay was so rough to try to get back into.

Anyway, apparently Bethesda hasn't been too dissuaded by the lukewarm reception its space sim got. Pagliarulo says it's now joined Fallout and Elder Scrolls on the podium as one of Bethesda's "big three”.
What a bunch of fucking clowns. Smoked too much copium it looks like.
Saying it is in the top three IPs for a company that only has three IPs is technically correct.
Honestly, even with only three IPs i think starfield struggles to even break into the top 5

Tons of people still play Skyrim.
Something tells me that, in 10 years, few if any will still be playing Starfield.
