Seems kind of like the game is just suffering from reactionaries, but I definitely don’t put that much stock in critic reviews these days either.

    Morrowind and Fallout NV are incredible.

    Fallout 3, Oblivion, and Skyrim are great.

    Fallout 4 is bland as hell.

    Fallout 76 and ESO are hot garbage.

    I’d put Starfield in the great tier.

      I would rank Fallout: New Vegas more-highly than Fallout 3 too, but it wasn’t developed by Bethesda. They just published it. Obsidian developed it.

      ESO is great, though? It just has a shitty combat system with attack weaving. Even 76 isn’t that bad anymore. Honestly just seems like you get your opinion out of gaming journalism.

        I have literally never watched or read a review of ESO or Fallout 76.

        I played both.

        ESO fails at being a solid Elder Scrolls game because it’s tailored more toward an MMO experience. The writing is awful, and the quests are boring. The combat sucks, and the social features are abysmal given you can’t even share quests. Literally the only reason I could imagine anyone playing this game is because they want to grind out an MMO every day that’s set in the Elder Scrolls universe.

        Fallout 76, I don’t even know where to start. Again, the MMO mechanics tear out everything good about Fallout games to deliver a bland, grindy MMO with bad combat.
