I used to be a big fan of the Elder Scrolls games, but they haven’t released anything actually new in 15 years. That’s frankly impressive. Everyone wanted to make a game that could be “the next Skyrim,” except, apparently, Bethesda, who could literally do that.
And it’s only gotten worse since the Microsoft acquisition. I never played Starfield, because it didn’t look like they understand their own gameplay model. I didn’t play the Oblivion remaster, as they seem not to understand their own art direction either.
At this point I kinda doubt they’ll actually release TES 6, but if they do, I’ve not got much hope for it.

my understanding is that bethesda didn’t actually do anything on the oblivion remaster. it was a completely separate company that only did an unreal engine overlay of an almost unmodified base game, and yeah they didn’t understand the art of oblivion at all, which is why the remaster doesn’t even look like oblivion anymore.

I didn’t know that. I guess that gives me a little more confidence in Bethesda, but it still suggests a woeful mismanagement of TES under Microsoft.
