Hear me out, Bethesda hasn’t made a really successful game since Skyrim. their new overlords are more than happy to shuffle them around, and who’s to say Todd Howard won’t retire after TES6 is launched?
I’m seeing a lot of parallels to Bioware, with game after game not doing as hot as the previous ones, and XBOX being very trigger happy with axing studios that aren’t pulling their weight, similar to EA.
It’s possible TES6, if it releases, will be the make it or break it of the company.
Previous games were buggy and messy BUT when they were made in the Gamebryo/creation engine the games still had replayability years later while those that were remastered in UE have significantly less breathing room when it comes to modding.
For me at least as long as they keep releasing their messy and buggy games that i can mod as much as i want i will keep playing them because there’s always some mod to change it up and make it feel different and in UE that is not possible to the same degree and slightly “better” graphics aren’t worth the trade off, but that’s just me, i like putting together 500 and more mods that change the game to how i want it to be.
