Bethesda lost their touch after Morrowind. I loved Oblivion when I played it as a kid, but looking back at it now, I can't really say I'd ever want to play it again. Fallout 4 and 76 completely strayed from the the previous games in the franchise, only sharing similarity in the artstyle. Fallout 3's writing and gameplay pales in comparison to New Vegas. Skyrim is just boring, writing feels uninspired, if not non-existent for large portions of the game. Morrowind is the only game that stands out from the rest, and I consider it a masterpiece, and I can see myself playing it again many times, exploring the different houses and guilds.
Go back to your lawn, Morrowboomer.
I like Morrowind, but I think you should consider Oblivion's writing. No it's not perfect, the main story is absolutely ass but everything else? Oblivion Theifs Guild and Dark Brotherhood absolutely SHIT on the Morang Tong. The gray fox, Lucienne, Lex, just absolutely insane! Not as immersive as Morrowind, however I'd say that the blend between the open world and the linear story is just paved perfectly in some of the Oblivion's quests
I think all those games have spots of brilliance, but I kind of agree. The later games are pretty watered down, it's one reason I am not really giving Starfield much of a look.
Yeah but modded skyrim
