For me, the "NASA punk" wasn't the turn off.

Starfield could have been a great game. But the general route Beth has taken with Fallout, and continued in Starfield, doesn't appeal to me. Pointless building filler, environmental storytelling over actual storytelling, radient quests everywhere and so on.

I have no doubt they'll do the same with TES. Just half-assing it really. Skyrim was already pretty flat, so...

Yeah, Morrowind was mind blowing when it came out. Then I skipped Oblivion, and Skyrim, mechanically, wasn't that much of a leap over Morrowind. Sure it looked better and had voice acting, but it still feels like a static world. I wouldn't consider Witcher 3 to be quite the same genre as TES, but imo W3 raised the bar for my expectations from Bethesda. So far I think they still have not made a game as good as W3.

Witcher 3 is a CDProjectRed game.

I don't think Beth' is capable of making a game even close to The Witcher 3. XD
