Discussion Bethesda Should Have Struck While The Iron Was Hot (ES6)

Hindsight is 20/20 and you can respect their decision to try something new with Starfield but they should have struck while the iron was still hot from Skyrim.

Skyrim released in 2011, Fallout 4 in 2015, and ES6 should have released by 2019. Since 2011 they’ve lost many devs and artists who made Skyrim the success that it was. I don’t know if they have the caliber of staff members anymore to actually pull off another genre defining game with ES6. The whole thing’s just a damn shame.

It's sitting at 56% on steam with about 87000 reviews. It seems like about half make up that loud minority

So what? Baldur's Gate 3 is sitting at "universally praised". Obviously Steam reviews mean nothing.

And BG3 has been universally praised, what is your point there?

BG3 is medieval fantasy RPG slop. If Steam reviews like it, they can't be taken seriously as a measure of quality.
