I was watching "...why Skyrim?" by Razbuten on sloptube this aft and it's so weird that it finally took Starfield for people to realise. Like Fallout 76 wasn't enough, only now are negative things people were first saying about Skyrim in 2012 finally bleeding into mainstream consciousness. It's so wild, like wow they ruined the magic system? The game has worse writing than a PS1 era Mega Man X game??? Skyrim is just shitty Game of Thrones?? Welcome to thirteen years ago!!

Bethesda hasn't made a really good game since 2002, but it'll probably be years before that realisation sinks in.

Mostly the rolling hills, man, the dense forests. The dynamic light sources, the long for the time land draw distance. The fact it has more colours than brown, grey and bland green. Also Skyrim's character models are still terrible imo.

In retrospect, I didn't mean to misgender. I am sorry.
