I expect nothing and I know that they will still dissapoont me. Marketing isn't weeping because they don't know how to sell the expectation, they weep because they don't know how they can convince anyone to even look at that game.

Same. Pretty sure I own every Bethesda rpg right up through Fallout 4 and Skyrim. I just couldn’t be bothered with Fallout 76 bullshit, and the handful of my friends that played Starfield said it was just sad.

I don’t much care what they release next. It won’t hold a candle to BG3.

The adoring fan and characters like claptrap are proof that I would never make it as lead designer for game sequels. I would never include a character like those and think to myself "This needs to be more than an annoying minor side character, I need to bring them closer to begin to the identity of the games."

Literally dummy easy. Hire the mod developers. Work WITH them not commanding them. Have better graphics than starfield. Hire a decent writer for the main quest.

I was a pretty hardcore Bethesda fan for years, long before Skyrim. But they have burned me too many times now for me to have any faith in ESVI.

I don't blame the MD tbh, if I had to try and make Starfield worth buying I'd fucking quit

Fire Emil and you'll be on a good start to un-fucking yourselves, Bethesda

I seriously doubt they do actual surveys. The only one’s raising the bar are AAA developers.
