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 like oblivion and fallout 3 for the nostalgia factor but yeah, they basically all stink

Fallout 3 is a cool knockoff STALKER fwiw, and I was an Oblivion enjoyer too. They're still decent games to me, but their core story quests are both atrocious and I miss like, spears or swappable pauldrons or actual dialogue from Morrowind :/

watching martin put on the amulet and win the fight at the end of oblivion always felt incredibly anticlimactic to me. you're telling me that i'm a great hero who essentially played sidekick to the real hero? ok todd

You mean you didn't like watching Sean Bean die to stop Mehrunes Dagon without actually contributing anything?

the entire time that was happening, i was stewing. i mean, how are you gonna be named Sean Bean and have both names pronounced a different way

Team Seen Been or team Shawn Bawn? That is the real "if a giraffe could wear a tie.." question

Seen been is obviously funnier to say
