It used to be that if you wanted an open world game you had a handful of options, and for RPGs Fallout and Elder Scrolls were really the only options. Nowadays we have more open world games than you can shake a stick at. Bethesda doesn't seem to realize that the rest of the industry has caught up with and passed them in a lot of ways
20 years ago this was Bethesda's style. They were the open-world rpg simulation. Now and Indie Dev can drop 6 character models and 6 objects into a game engine and have similar functionality in maybe a month. Two weeks if its hunkering down like a game jam. Technology has surpassed their products. They need to do something to spice it up or ES 6 is gonna bomb.
I'm convinced I'll still be playing Skyrim in 2035 when TES6 is released. There are so many mods due to come out in the next 3 years.
