    If it isn’t on a massively overhauled engine to bring it up to par to current AAA quality, Ill be skipping this

      I was gonna make a joke that it might bring it up to par to 2024 AAA quality when it releases in 2029, but I’m not sure, I see that happening either…

          To be fair, none of Bethesda’s games really push technical boundaries. They tend to look pretty good, but the value is in depth and breadth of content, not pushing the limits of rendering. Skyrim wasn’t cool because of high tech features, but because the world was immersive.

          So that’s what I’m looking for. I don’t care if it’s using old tech, as long as it looks good and there’s a ton of great content. Give me improved Skyrim gameplay feel with Morrowind depth of content and story. I’d be interested in story-heavy DLC if the base game is good enough, kind of like the other games provided with mods.

            Too bad Starfield wasn’t that, either, and Fallout 4 as well as 76 before it. Elder Scrolls 6 is gonna be a shitshow unless something drastic changes for the better at Bethesda. I don’t see that happening, though, since they’ve been busy since their last release trying to convince everyone that didn’t like Starfield that they’ve just been playing the game wrong.

            That would be nice.

            It won’t, because everything since Morrowind has gotten more shallow with each iteration. As good as Skyrim was, it was even shallower than Oblivion, which was shallower than Morrowind.

            maybe they learned something from the backlash…

            The fact they keep saying “empty isn’t boring” and other things defending Starfield tells me they haven’t learned jack shit.
