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.

Just a very pretty game with stuff in nooks and crannies.
There is a series on YouTube, Curating Curiosities (or something), that serves as a good example I think.
I don’t think Skyrim has the best map or anything, but especially compared to Starfield I don’t think they are in the same ballpark.

you're just wrong, skyrim especially for 2011 is gorgeous. I can't believe you legitimately think any part of Oblivion is pretty.

I think a lot of the shivering isles aesthetic holds up better. Lots of vibrant colors and weird shapes that made it a lot more interesting looking than Skyrim, which is just as outdated looking but also boring
