10 Brutally Honest Confessions Of A Bethesda Fan

This confession proves I’m part of the problem, but I’m trying, okay?

I didn’t buy Fallout 76, I learned my lesson and I waited. What more do you want from a recovering Bethesda addict?

Skyrim, in fact, suffered from the same criticisms that Fallout 4 did. Yet once again, it was the highest-selling in the franchise due to its ability to meet a much larger audience.

A larger audience isn't inherently a bad thing, but is it always good for the player? Particularly when it sacrifices those ever-elusive role-playing elements and depth in regard to spells, quest-lines and options that previous titles, such as Morrowind and Oblivion had. Though, you do have to understand where Bethesda are coming fro- oh god, I’m doing it again.

Streamlined or not, lack of RPG elements and meaningful choices aside, the game is still fun and enjoyable for countless hours, most notably the many fleshed out side-quests.

Skyrim and Fallout 4 go hand-in-hand, really.

Each show the regression of Bethesda as a power in the RPG world, and more so a force in gaming overall, trying to reach as large a market as possible.
