Probably helps that they got one of those worlds from another company

And when they let yet another company do a game in the series as a one-off, it became widely regarded as the best title in the series post Bethesda acquisition.

One of their games was made by another company entirely but now they’re making other worlds outside them

The first Fallout game was made by Interplay and second one by Black Isle, Interplay’s in-house dev studio.

Well not too much for Starfield. Back when they announced it they were comments about how their engine isn’t good enough to pull off the things they were promising. It’s why I didn’t pre-order it.

I got it as soon as I got a GPU that could comfortably run it… because it was bundled with said GPU. I did activate the key but never bothered to actually install it. Maybe later in case the handful of modders actually make something cool in there.
I was kinda interested before launch, hoping that this would be the game to finally force them to meaningfully overhaul the engine they’ve been carrying around since Morrowind (with some bugs dating back to then). Of course it wasn’t and of course they didn’t.

i expected bethesda graphics and gameplay, which were always meh after skyrim
what i didn’t expect was the pointless boring in fact fucking tedious everything else involved in playing a video game– wtf is this fetch quest about talking trees? go talk to this guy, and then go talk to that guy, and then and then and then– what a fucking let-down.
don’t worry i learned my lesson. i’ll never buy another bethesda title unless a year has passed and it still has a minimum ‘very positive’ rating. maybe not even then. fuck bethesda

yes, as a huge ultima nerd, i was excited for UO. after spending hours barely being able to do anything because of my 386 PC and 14.4 dialup speed, and then getting killed because of all the lag and losing everything, i said i guess i don’t have the money to play this game, and left it
but that wasn’t bethesda– still origin at that point

UO was pretty popular and good up until EA bought Origin in 2004.

Let’s rely on the modding community to fix our broken mess that’s riddled with game breaking bugs then release a patch 10 years later that breaks all mods.
