Comment on Is Elder Scrolls 6 doomed to fail? I can't see how it will work
MarcomachtKuchen@feddit.org 2 weeks agoAll your points are valid, but people might not judge the game based on your criteria. One could rate the game in Scale, Artistic vision or Gear progression and would not land on a 1 out of 10. Surely not on a 10/10 but definitly not on a 1. Even in your categories you have a strong bias. IMO there is no way you can give linearity a 1/10. Sure all of the sidestuff is not great but it’s there. A game with the lowest score in linearity does not even have options. Like one Mario level and that’s it.
Scale? It’s plenty big, but there’s not a lot of good content in it. Quantity vs quality.
Artistic vision. There’s something there, but it wasn’t realized.
Gear progression is bubkis, they have this weird rarity system that makes no sense and makes it feel awful.
Quality would be a new criteria which I wanted to exclude in scale. Sure the quality of it all ain’t great but there are a lot of poeple who enjoy gigantic maps, no matter how bland.

I’d argue that the best part of the game is the pirate questline. You get to pick between being a double agent, gathering evidence and sabotaging their plans, or an evil pirate that fights the law and only cares about themselves.
