Skyrim was a great looking game when it released in 2011. Their games may not have had the same quality graphics as some other devs but the graphics wasn't a gen behind. Yet again idiotic non technical people making stupid remarks. I really wish there was a gaming site for programmers like me instead of this garbage site that is full of retards.

Since Morrowind's days Bethesda transitioned from a Hardcorde Game Studio - kind of cult like- to a AAA massive developer... So, what changed? Well they got greedy. They start behaving like Ubisoft or EA nowadays... But there's still hope
Skyrim is only from 2011 (expansions from 2012), The same people that made it are the ones behind Fallout 76.
I know it is a thing nowadays to mock Skyrim, but at the very least you have to admit it was one of the most influential games of the decade. Fallout 4 was good in my opinion,yes aged engine, some glitches a lot of loading screens, but fun.
And even though Bethesda Game Studios output has been rather shaky the last 5 years or so, it hasn't been all complete sht (like Fallout 76 is) Bethesda still is related as a publisher to some of the best games of the decade in my opinion: Doom, Rage, Wolfy, Evil Within yeah I know they didn't develop these, but at least it shows taste!
What I'm saying is there's hope still, they still have the talent, they do have the resources, they just need the will.
Is not a Rare situation here

Besides fallout 76, what game did they make that was horrible? Because tbh I don’t know game that was really that bad besides fall out 76..
What you gonna say Fallout 4. That’s sitting at a 88% in metacritics.
I really don’t understand the hate. They messed up 76 and now most likely they learned their lesson.

I love how gamers always want devs to try tsomething different but if they can’t perfect it right away, they bash them saying they are garbage and have fallen off. That’s why we get repeated shit because why would devs risk it, especially since gamers are super critical about a lot of stuff and pretty much act like babies.

Disagree. To me, Skyrim is Elder Scrolls at its best.

A(greed)

Their bread and butter has always been single player adventures; Fallout 76 and other greedy ventures have been disastrous.

Go back to pre-76 and get some better tech or I'm out too.

I diagree.

Anything other than a completely new modern engine made this century, including eveything you said.

But we all know that isn't going to happen. Tom is going to use his tired, 3 decade old engine and somehow convince himself that isn't a complete and utter joke.

I agree with you on going with a new engine but theres a huge ongoing cost involved for them to do that. Its not easy for developers to pick up new engines, it takes time to familiarise yourself with the code.

Dunno what you mean about crappy visuals either. Skyrim as far as the dungeons and world still look great even today. Bit harsh I reckon.
