I know there’s great love for Oblivion (I never played it when it was new), and of course Skyrim is the gold standard for new fans (I played the shit out of that and it was my first entry into the elder scrolls back when it came out 14 years ago…) but I really feel like this shadow drop of a half assed remake is just priming everyone to lower their expectations for the likely dumpster fire that is The Elder Scrolls VI.
I know its old hat nonsense of a complaint but whatever Bethesda used to be it stopped being that 20 years ago and we’re all just stuck thinking they’ll put out some new masterpiece when in reality all the talent they had back in the day has likely left for other jobs and they are now just a shitty company among countless other shitty companies putting profit over anything else and stifling anyone who might actually have good ideas on how to make good games (how unsurprising).
They needed a quick cash grab before the Trump terroriffs wipe them out.
Amazing how many people are willing to pay full price for a 20 year old game.
Bethesda is a Microsoft company. Don’t think there’s any danger of the tariffs wiping out Microsoft.
There is more of a danger of being wiped out by microsoft than anything else
Yeah man they really saw this tariff stuff coming earlier than anyone else when they started developing the remaster 2-3 years ago.
We both know tariffs have little to do with this game, but it was very possible to see them coming 2-3 years ago if you listened to that man speak.
Donald Trump’s views on economics have not changed in decades and his tariffs are in line with what the guy has been publicly saying since the 80s.
But yeah that’s not the point I was making.
Its not a quick cash grab, the remaster was in development starting in 2021. This release had nothing to do with tarifs.
