It's insane that anyone even bought starfield to begin with. Did people not play the last 5 Bethesda games? The absolute best among them barely gets to mid without a full day of installing mods. The last one was such a shameless scam that it might literally be unprecedented in the mainstream industry.

What were the last 5 Bethesda games? I haven't played one since DOOM and Eternal, which I thought were both pretty rad. Come to think of it, I think the next one I play is going to be the new DOOM.

fallout 76, fallout 4, Skyrim (only counting it once), fallout 3, and oblivion. Bethesda game studios had nothing to do with doom, Bethesda softworks merely published it.

All of them are generally bad in their own special way, but special mentions go to oblivion for inventing shitty micro transactions (horse armor) and 76 for being the single biggest trainwreck in the industry since E.T.

Thank you for the clarification 🙏
