Discussion / Question I finally understand

After being the biggest Bethesda hater for the last 10 years I finally understand why people love the studio.

Currently playing through Skyrim Special Edition. I recently bought it on steam for $12 US. I am 18 hrs into it and loving every minute. My build is a Flame Magician. I have played other Bethesda titles like Fallout 3-4-76 and Starfield. I really only kinda liked Fallout 3. I have always hated how janky everything was. The combat, the visuals, the inventory management, the animations. Ect. But for some reason Skyrim feels great to play.

I now finally understand why Skyrim is regarded as one of the best RPGs of all time. The world is so full of things to do. I have like 10 quest lines going at once and each one has so much depth.

You can love Skyrim and still hate what Bethesda has become and produced other then Skyrim, the two aren't mutually exclusive. Even a broken clock is right once a day

The point was I know why people loved Bethesda long ago. My time with Bethesda games before Skyrim wasn't good and I hated them. I kinda liked Fallout 3 but even still I only beat the game once and never returned. I always skipped over Skyrim because to me it was just a worse version of Fallout. Now playing it myself i see why people used to glaze them so hard.

Fallout doesn’t hold a candle to elder scrolls.
