  Well even if it isn’t, we’ll shove it full of mods anyway.

    The most fun Bethesda game will always be xEdit.

  They (Bethesda) has a track record of making great games, even counting all the buggy, glitchy, janky bullshit that comes with them. I’m not expecting a total failure or a smooth launch based on literally every game they’ve put out since I discovered them with Morrowind.

    The jank is part of the charm. Who doesn’t remember Skyrim Horsing their way up a mountain?

  I feel like the game is largely an unknown at this point. We saw some gameplay but I feel like I would want to wait for reviews. Bethesda has a strong track record though so I’m hoping it should be good.

    They have a strong track record of releasing broken games with potential, potential that mod makers actually pull out of the game while Bethesda reaps massive profits

      Their games are buggy, but people are still talking about them and enjoying them. Modders have done a lot of (if not most of) the heavy lifting of course. But I don’t think we would be seeing so many mods if the core games were bad.

    “Bethesda has a strong track record though” i mean… do they?

    their games sell a lot of units but i can’t remember any time since morrowind that they launched a game that received widespread praise for anything other than its technical merits, and i say this as someone who still dips back into heavily modded TES games a few times a year :/

      Morrowind: 89 on Metacritic
      Oblivion: 94
      Fallout 3: 91
      Skyrim: 94
      Fallout 4: 84

      PC scores, for consistency. There are plenty of better games out there, but most AAA studios would kill for that kind of consistently good-but-not-quite-legendary track record.

        oh yeah the metacritic scores are good but i was referring to audience reception about characters, narrative, etc

        fallout 3 in particular is a fun one because once people started beating it there was a general upswell of “what the fuck was that?” that was loud enough that we got a changed ending in DLC :)

        Morrowind scoring lower than Oblivion and Skyrim is a travesty.

      It's been a while since they've actually released one of their mainline games. I don't really count TES:O and FO:76 as IIRC neither had the normal dev teams working on them.

      Im cautiously optimistic about it all, but am obviously going to wait for reviews.

        the thing for me about starfield is that most of the game looks like a reskin of games i’ve already played (no man’s sky, elite dangerous) and the parts that don’t look like mainline bethesda fare but In Space, so my general vibe about starfield is pretty dismal

        would be absolutely stoked for it to turn out well though. more games in space = good

  If star field is bad, this anime will be seen as an early attempt to copy cp2077 to save the games rep.
