Emil has been a thorn to both Elder Scrolls and Fallout now...the sooner they get rid of him as a writer the better.

I've been very much enjoying the backlash Emil has been getting for telling us all that we know nothing and we should just appreciate the fact that we get games from him.

Delphine be like: kill all dragons Dragonborn: *has pet dragon* Tiber Septim: *Also has a pet dragon*

The Blades are supposed to kill dragons yes, but they're also supposed to worship the Dragonborn as a godlike being and follow him. So if the Dragonborn says "I like that dragon, that one's chill" the Blades should say "yes Dragonborn." Instead they coldshoulder the Dragonborn, who incidentally is both their best recruiter and the only person in the world who can permanently kill dragons. So their obsessive focus on killing dragons to the point of disobeying the Dragonborn stunts them as an organization.

"but a breton nwah named emil-" HAD ME ROLLING FOR AIR

We've been demanding Pagliarulo's firing since Fallout 3 came out in 2008

The blades say they are supposed to be led by a dragonborn, then you never get a say in anything once you help them set up. Shit faction.

Emil Papiagrillo helped me do my homework once. I got an F.

These N’Wahs and their ridiculous plot holes. Only a Dunmer could write true perfection.

The hubris on that man... I wrote a better beginning to Starfield in 5 minutes while sitting on the toilet after being immensely disappointed by its first hour. If he had said something along the lines of "we couldn't do X because of an engine limitation/challenges during development", sure, the actual people working on the game would've greater authority to talk about it. There are no excuses, however, for bad writing. Emil seems to be both delusional and incompetent. It's shocking that a man involved in so many games that have a reputation for being poorly written somehow still has a job as a writer.

Calling Pagawamo a Breton is an insult to us Breton fans.

The single most horrible thing that has happened to Bethesda was all of the writers that were responsible for Daggerfall, Battlespire, Redguard, and Morrowind all quit between Morrowind and Oblivion. Also, Kirkbride wrote the dialogue for the very first Skyrim trailer that they released (the one narrated by Esbern) which is why it was so good.

I still feel like the whole overarching plot line was a missed opportunity. You don't need time portals to explain Alduin appearing thousands of years in the future. Alduin is eternal. He cannot actually die. You can only disrupt him temporarily. And nothing was brought up about the fact that Alduin is the ancient Nordic name for Akatosh. You are literally fighting not a dragon, but an Aedra. It is the Oblivion crisis flipped on its head, and would show that the difference between the Aedra and the Daedra is really academic. Forget this mystical shout to bring down dragons, and instead seek out aid from the Daedra to thwart Alduin's goal of resetting the world. Instead of being Dragonborn being a gift, it was Prometheus stealing fire from the gods. Alduin didn't seek out the Dragonborn, but by virtue of being there when Akatosh returns turns you into the Dragonborn. This is why the only true God is Daegoth Ur.

Emil's surname changing through the video killed me 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

It only took nine years for the news that todd Howard didnt change the plot to what it is now. We're sorry kirkbride for not believing you. (Basically he said most of the plot holes were someone other than Todd in 2014)

The reason we all find TES lore so fascinating is that it was crafted by genuinely talented writers such as Ted Peterson and Michael Kirkbride. This Emil Paglianocchio hack has done little beyond tarnishing the work of his betters.

You see the thing with elder scrolls and fallout they are using lore written by people that no longer work over there this is why Starfield looks unfortunate because it had no lore to back up from previous writers.

I really like Esbern, but killing parthurnax is never worth it.

You wanted to be famous Emil. Now the internet knows your name.

The biggest plot hole in the entire franchise is... all of Cyrodiil. From the fact that it was supposed to always be a tropical jungle to the fact that even the bridges that connected to the Imperial City were meant to have entire cities on their own, adorned with jewels, to the vast social and racial tensions between the various counties... Oh, silly me, they tried to explain some of this nonsense away by Tiber Septim becoming Talos and somehow retconning the entire region into a big forest. And I'm sure he also retconned everything else, like how the Empire is now just Rome, instead of some weird Roman samurai hybrid. And everybody gets along. And the temples of the divines are just churches. When in doubt, invoke an n'wah false god. Or a Dragon Break. Or both at the same time.

I'm a writer and Emil quickly became an enemy of mine lol. I hate him so much.

The biggest problem with Skyrim's CW questline is the fact that we discover the damn dossier about the Thalmor's influence in the war; shortly after, we have both leaders of the respective factions face to face to discuss a truce and we simply do not care enough to say "c'mon, my dudes, the Thalmor are fu**ing both of you at the same time. You can not let this shit continue to happen." But no, the dumbest of the dragonborns simply keeps the information to themselves; it's annoying as heck.

I love how Emil has been getting roasted well done after making some Argonian brained comment.

I think the problem with the blades was the two surviving members who rebuilt. Delphine was just trying to keep relevance in the organization, she definitely didn’t have any authority on killing parthurnax. Esbern on the other hand was more understanding in his need to execute Parthurnax. Saying that is was justified, no matter how much time had passed Parthurnax was still guilty and even Parthurnax himself admits that he had to overcome his evil and tells the Dragonborn that he doesn’t disagree with his needing to die of it means peace. Overall, the blades have no legitimacy in Skyrim to make this choice anyway, the Dragonborn has to decide.

It's actually the guy praying to be saved at helgen to all the gods that the world eater was supposed to show up for but he was shot running in the black running away

Simple way to fix the Blades. Make the faction three different groups before they were outlawed after the Great War, a spy network, the Imperial Protection force, and the oldest branch the Dragon Hunters. After the Dragons disappeared the Dragon Hunters mostly became a secretive order hidden somewhere in Skyrim that were looked down on by the espionage branch as a waste of time and money. The protection force after the end of the Great War officially became the Pentius Oculatus with only the oldest members being listed as Blades and having to flee, which includes Balor, an older member of the Imperial protectors, whose Oathblade you can get in game. My change would be that you find a wounded and dying old Balor being attacked by several Thalmor once you hit a certain level near a particular area of the map, and you can get the option to help him or let him be killed by the Thalmor. If you help him he tells you about his blade and asks you to retrieve it and keep it safe from the Thalmor before expiring. The spies also all had to go into hiding, but the old Dragon Hunters were hidden somewhere in Skyrim from before the Great War even started so no one was sure where they were. The spies, led by Delphine, knew they were in Skyrim but not where they were, so Delphine in a set of side quests gets the Dragonborn to help her locate Esbern and his fellow hunters because the remaining Blades, as well as many of their relatives, are being hunted down and they need their help to disappear. Several of the missions Delphine sends you on relate to either warning Blades and helping them escape capture or freeing captured Blades or saving their relatives including children who are also being hunted down and killed by the Thalmor. You work with the two, Esbern and Delphine, to seal the breach as Esbern and Delphine have bad blood between them from incidents before the Great War and give Delphine a place to send those Blades that need to disappear for a long period of time as well as have a group of mostly elderly lore experts who help you in the search for weapons and items to fight the Dragons. Rather than attending the peace conference Delphine and Esbern get you to help them fake even more Blades' deaths leading the Thalmor to believe certain members of the organization are gone for good rather than still around and a potential threat in the future. My version the Blades are willing to help you if you help them, but they are not bound to the Dragonborn as they do not believe the Dragonborn is the Heir to Akatosh since he cannot or at least has not lit the Dragon Fires which all other previous Dragonborn have done so they are not bound to you and you are only their ally if you chose to be.

Thieves Guild plothole: Karliah shoots the player with a paralytic arrow in Snow Veil Sanctum because she...didn't have a shot at Mercer. But she could have _waited._ Paralyse Mercer, yell out that she means no harm, and because Bethesda players have the awareness of a tadpole, the UI not putting them into combat would be a pretty good indicator that she can be talked to.

Don't get me started on the completly unfinished Foresworn questline. Missed opportunity to see the other side of a culture and people subjugated by the Nords. Or the fact that the Dunmer outlive humans tenfold yet they haven't remotely rebuilt since the eruption? Let alone still living in the ghettos for some reason.

I honestly thought it was just blind luck that he figures out where we are, because at least random coincidence makes him less stupid as a villain regardless of how stupid the plot is. Just HAPPENS to be in the same place at the same time, or it's like Kynesgrove where we hear about a dragon and lo and behold it's Aldu-Weiner.

my interpretation is that Alduin didn’t have to sense were you were. He only arrived when he did because the terms of his Prophecy happened to be fulfilled when they were (as told to us by Alduin’s wall). Why would he have a choice in when he arrives if he was banished forward in time by others?

Honestly the plot hole with alduin could have been solved by him sitting on top of the building in helgen and saying a few lines in dragon tongue as if he was confused for a little while the lines could of been among him being confused trying to make sense of were he's and the people are absolutely flabbergasted to see a dragon untill alduins notices them and comes to his senses and attacks

What about the whole Dark Brotherhood quest? Like the Pentius Oculatus knows the location, but not the password if you side with them. If you join the Brotherhood, they don't know, will find it, and figure out the password? Plus Astrid congratulates you for killing her in that shack in the swamp, but will sell you out because she wants to remain in power. There's a lot more, but its so dumb. Plus the whole Emperor situation and that excuse they made in that card game.😂

Pagliarulo looks more like an Imperial.

Legend has it that Emil is actually a good writer cursed by his fearful and jealous peers. If enough people pronounce his last name correctly, he will be freed from his shackles and be able to write the TES game that everyone wants.

The crap with Delphine and the Blades is why mods exist to tell her to STFU

Not concerning the main query quest, but you, the Dragornborn, have the soul of a dragon, which cannot be soul trapped. And then you get soul trapped anyway as part of the quest for Azura's Star, as well as the Dawnguard story, assuming you decline the first two chances to become a vampire lord.

Now THIS is a thumbnail that deserves a Dagoth Ur saying "N'Wah!" on it xD

The Dragonborn is Shor or "Shezzarine" like Pelinal that's why the seat is empty and you can sit in it... Just a fun fact I guess. Shor and Alduin or "Lorkhan and Auriel" are enemies and have been fighting since creation.

The True Sons of Skyrim despise Emil Pagliarulo

Alduin didnt put any points in Luck

EXPOSE THAT N’WAH 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️

i'm glad your talking about this, These were gargantuan plot holes in the story. especially the railroaded blades forcing the player to kill a ally dragon or they leave you for no reason. this wouldn't be such a big deal but because how you are punished as a player for this illogical quest is absolutely mind blowing. I desperately went and searched for alternatives options, but after extensive research and searching, I found there was none. it was the moment i felt my player agency totally ripped away. nothing about it was good. it was a massive net negative. In What world does the dragonborn kill the only friendly dragon that has been 1 peaceful and 2 helping him the entire game?Like HUH? Even the civil war was trash. As a dragonborn both sides heavily abuse you, spit on you and treat you like trash. As you can expect once again i went searching for alternatives and became more desperate after what i encountered with parthanax and was crestfallen. I couldn't just kill both sides then just let them sort it out or take over myself. Heck i would have taken an option to put lydia on the throne. Once again I was rail roaded into only only bad options. Nothing about that those major plots were enjoyable and still stick in my craw to this day. #5:30 Yes! Great Dagoth Ur, unleash your wrath on these abhorrent N'wahs and their horrid writing. Purge them please.

Never calm down Lord Dagoth. Your rage is your power and your conviction to bring the dream to the unwilling.

I love how he butchers Emile's name with each use.

Dragons are just adult Cliffracers.

I am pretty sure you are still just jealous you can't shout reality altering dragon swear words. Also, my personal canon has always been that Alduin was just attacking Helgen because he wanted to grab a few snacks and had absolutely zero idea the last dragonborn was present.

Technically the 5th plothole regarding alduins soul just comes from the misconception of firstborn of akatosh. Firstborn of akatosh isnt literal he is the first subgradient to come from the akatusk, akha, or bormah depending on who you think has the correct name for the time dragons oversoul.

This was an epic take down. Nicely done. I've always had a hard time getting the motivation to replay Skyrim mainly for the lackluster, anticlimactic endings the two main stories had. 1/3 of the way into it seems like it was going to be a really good intrigue and layers of twists kind of story; something that keeps you guessing and surprised. NOPE. Just falls flat and feels like a let down, like a really cold and wet blow job; you feel your prostate contract and pulse, but there's zero pleasure and satisfaction.

Papiagrillo made my father disappear and explained it away with a dragon break, Mora doesn’t even know where I could find him.

You can probably defend Alduin's arrival just a bit in that he was banished off the peak of the Throat of the world, which Helgen is a city within proximity of said mountain so being fast forwarded in time and spat out in relative proxmity to where he was banished isn't that bad. The rest of his actions like not ensuring the LDB's death and hunting him down after Helgen, eh not touching that.

For the dragons I have an idea for a couple of your points; 1) I think his soul went to Akatosh. The Dragonborn probably earned his favor by slaying Alduin and so the kalpa continues.... for now 2) My guess for the other dragons is the shout he uses to revive them. I bet it was given to him by Akatosh to raise a dragon army to end this cycle My guess is it's exclusive to him and we see in the main story how they come back but every other dragon (except the one in the Soul Cairn) were off screen revived Like the naned one we fight at the watchtower outside was probably done by Alduiin when we weren't around Amd then we see in Kynesgrove how they're actually returning because they should be long dead and a lot are There's actually a skeleton dragon you fight near the end of the College of Winterhold quest when you go into Labarynthian

Im 1000 times more scared of disarming shouting draugr than alduin

1. Alduin doesn't sense the dragonborn and then come to Helgen. He bursts back into time and immediately stretches his legs for lack of a better term and burns down Helgen as a way of showing he's back. Then he flies off to find his draconic brethren. 4, both the game and the blades make it clear the dragons weren't sleeping somewhere. They were almost all dead and Alduin is going around rezzing them. even if the nords could kill them all again only the db could kill Alduin and thus he could just constantly refresh his army. in fact, you can see him rezzing dragons at burial mounds in game outside of the Kynes grove quest. 5. they keep attacking because they are people. just because you kill an emperor doesn't mean his whole empire will fall. Some will do it for fun, to rebuild the empire under them, or to carve out their own little seat of power over mortals.

Another thought: Skyrim lacks one important mission: Destroy the Blades.

The Paarthurnax Dilemma is a fantastic mod that let's you tell the blades to frig off, as the Dragonborn should've been able to do in the first place.

The fact that Alduin's seemingly pointless attack on helgen saved the life of his only threat is next level plot convenience.

The thing that pisses me off the most about Skyrim, and most other Bethesda games, is all the players who assert that when playing them for the first time everyone should do it without any mods. These games are a big mess of cut and abandoned plots, scaled-down settlements and unused voice tracks. Every single one of them was rushed out the door, kicking and screaming. They should NEVER be played without heavy interference from the modding community.

BRO!!! 8:15 is my actual skyrim character! I remember posting that on reddit a vew years ago lmao

It’s kind of sad that we won’t get an elder scrolls game as great or as interesting as morrowind, but atleast the modding community will keep things interesting

I never agreed with the idea that Alduin sensed the Dragonborn in Helgen, I'm pretty sure that was just coincidence. Alduin, after all, emerged from the time-wound at the summit of the Throat of the World, and the nearest settlements were Helgen and Ivarstead, and of the two, Helgen was by far the larger. So, first thing he does upon returning is attack the big loud town full of humans nearby. Coincidence is fine when it sets up the inciting incident of a story, and I don't think in this case that any further elaboration is necessary

"The Sixth House is risen and lord Dagoth is its glory!"

Dagoth talks mad shit for someone who dies if you poke the heart a few times. Least Alduin has his own power.

This recent trend of "Bethesda Bad" is getting really tiresome. I love Skyrim and Oblivion. The main story of skyrim may not be the best, but it's the small stories we discover and learn throughout is what makes it a great experience.

On Dragons, Sir Terry Pratchett (mayherestinpeace) wrote; "This is where the dragons went. They lie… Not dead, not asleep. Not waiting, because waiting implies expectation. Possibly the word we’re looking for here is……dormant. And although the space they occupy isn’t like normal space, nevertheless they are packed in tightly. Not a cubic inch there is but is filled by a claw, a talon, a scale, the tip of a tail, so the effect is like one of those trick drawings and your eyeballs eventually realize that the space between each dragon is, in fact, another dragon. They could put you in mind of a can of sardines, if you thought sardines were huge and scaly and proud and arrogant. And presumably, somewhere, there’s the key."

Excellent points. I would argue, however, that the main dragon questline in Skyrim is still a step above the main quest line in Oblivion. "Hey, chosen one. How about you just spend the next month and a half of game time going through Oblivion portals and slog through the same map over and over and over and over and over. And over. And then, when you've finally pushed Mehrunes Dagon to the extent that he must materialize himself onto Tamriel and attack the Imperial City, your job is to just play wingman for Martin while he kill-steals your Daedric Prince xp." Honestly, if they created Miraak as a main antagonist in the first place, with his goal being claiming all the Dragon Priest masks, now written as something else, like the masks of the first Daedric priests or something, and commanding all the Draugr in Skyrim, in order to ascend to becoming a Daedric Prince himself, and turn Skyrim into his own Oblivion realm, that might have been more interesting. And don't even give him a Daedric patron. Have the Princes set up as untrustworthy allies of the PC, because they don't want Miraak to have the masks and use their powers for himself alone.

Plot hole #1: Not a plot hole. Alduin did not even know that the Dragonborn was there in Helgen. Why did he attack Helgen? Very simply, to restart the civil war. If Ulfric escapes, he can takes his troops back into battle against the Empire. Where does Alduin hang out when he's not in Skyrim? In Sovngarde. Who else goes to Sovngarde? Nord souls. With a restart of the civil war, more Nord souls will go to Sovngarde. Why does Alduin want this? Because he harvests souls from Sovngarde to resurrect dragons in his attempt to take over Tamriel...

I've lost hope in the N'Wahs at Bethesda at this point I hope TES VI isnt too bad.

I honored the Sixth House and the Tribe Unmourned

What an informative sermon. Thank you, Lord Dagoth.

I'm glad to see the works of a longman like Creetosis making the rounds.

I miss Michael Kirkbride with my whole heart

The blades have no purpose without the Dragonborn, you need me not the other way around.

I like to imagine The Nerevarine achieved Chim at the end of their adventures just to chill with Dagoth Ur and listen to his ranting responses to all the bullshit going on in-universe.

I felt somewhat alone in my particular distaste for Emil; little did I know Dagoth Ur and the 6th House and the Tribe Unmourned shared my opinion! Had I known this, I would have modded in the capability to end the main quest by joining the House Unmourned that Todd cut.

One thing I question more than the plot holes is the armor, weapons, and clothes design. There are some that look okay or actually cool while the rest looks like either bad Conan cosplay or stitched together crap. There are modders who’ve come up with better designs that look better and still keep the fantasy design, even with actual vanilla assets. I just don’t get it.

Calm down, Lord Dagon

Happy New Year 2024 Papa Dagoth and Everyone of the 6th House.

0:37 Only Kirkebride who might or might now acheived CHIM can be able to write about gods.

One more thing is that you can beat the main questline in a couple hours. For an RPG I feel like there should've been way more events going on throughout that hindered the dragonborn's progress

Even a farm tool could write a better story

It’s my theory you weren’t Dragonborn by birth but were blessed by akatosh upon being the first to kill a dragon this go around since miraak wasn’t on nirn .

The Thalmoor are manipulated by the Daedra, just as the Dragonborn is helped by the Psijics who are inspired by the Aedra, so it ends up being a Divine Chess Match. The Dragons do seem to be a bit senseless, or maybe just high level pieces in the chess game manipulated by the Divines. Alduin should have been undefeatable, and the Dragonborn thrust back into the Civil War. Then he could defeat Ulfric and take over the Strormcloaks, to defeat the Imperials. While Alduin is kept at bay in Sovngarde, and the other dragons disappear. The Blades are just stubborn. We need not of been required to obtain the Dragonrend Scroll. All that would be needed, are alternate ways to accomplish superiority, and still have some necessity to delve into the Diemer, The Black Books, Blackreach, and the schemes of the Thalmoor. I suppose the plot holes were necessary to provide freedom of decision away from the main story line. Defeating Miraak should have been enough to establish dominance of the Dragonborn.

Was scrolling through and read the thumbnail title as Outrageous Skyrim Potatoes...

I like to think that Alduin didn't go to helgen for the dragonborn. He went there after Ulfric. Ulfric used the thume to kill a high king and once Alduin caught wind of it pride took over and he started to hunt down the mortal that dared use a dragons weapon to gain power. Now this does leave the dragonborn being there with Ulfric purely coincidence, but does help explain why Alduin is raising his army. To restart the dragon wars and he is rushing it because a Mortal is using the thume to gain power. The only other motals using it is the grey beards who are committed to peace.

It's explained, subtlely, that the dragons returning is directly due to Aldin resurrecting them

By the Reclamations, this is gold

Too be fair the mongrel dogs of the empire where allready obsessed with dragons earlier (The banner, the dragonblood in Septims...)

1:18 I think it was just a random attach

Another plot hole that doesn’t make sense is the shout cooldown system. Seriously why is this a thing in Skyrim when Dragons, Draugr death overlords, Alduin, Parthurnaax, Miraak & even The Ebony Warrior don’t have cooldowns? Does Emil not want us to have fun with Shouts?

I discovered that Delphine becomes even more insufferable when you first meet her, if you choose the dialogue options that basically calls her out on her BS then at some point she boasts about how she could kill you in a second. So what I do is, after the main quest is done, I go back to Sky Haven Temple and use a spell from the Cheat Room mod called Silent Kill. It will kill essential NPCs and remove the Paarthurnax quest from your journal after you kill Delphine and Esbern.

Another thing you got wrong: You compared Skyrim (2011) to works that came out at many times after it. Game of thrones came out in the late 90s and early 2000’s, took a decade long break, and came out with another on in 2011, the same year Skyrim released and hasn’t released another book (I don’t think that was a coincidence). The television series came out well after Skyrim. HTTYD was 2010 and was a different take on the dragon genre, and was not faithful to the book at all. Imagine dragons came out with their first album in 2012, almost a year after Skyrim. Your argument is invalid. Look I get it’s not perfect, I too am frustrated with the blades, but to just not do your homework is really dumb.

I clicked on the video expecting a pointless rehashing of what's already been said recently. I was completely wrong. May Dagoth Ur forgive me for my grand and intoxicating innocence.

Emil is an ass. Now I am an old man and had one of the first home PCs and the first nintindo playing games now over 40 years. Other than Infocom, just the name, I never really knew game studios or what not. Fallout 4 was my first exposure to Fallout but I had played Morrowind a few times. I just could not tell you who made it. But I got real in to the Fallout lore then played 3 then FNV. With youtube 24/7 I watched others playing Fallout 1 and 2 and of course started watching gaming topics and analysis, and of course Fallout lore. With the horrific shooter Fallout 76 and Starfield I can explain a couple of things. Well first from clips of him talking, his tweets, and his "output" I can tell you Emil makes games for Emil. They do NOT put out what they have learned what the players want. They do not use design documents so the higher ups have no accountability and can wing the story. While he is sitting in a small group of a couple of women in one clip, by what and how he says things, and their body language, you can bet Emil brow beats, rides ruff shot over the staff so no one disagrees with him. So one thing all these game"analyst" try to figure out what Bethesda will or won't do, or what is going on, seem to miss this. One would be the nice guy Mr Patty Plays or something. But many could be put in this category. The many videos on Bethesda and Starfield seem to miss this as well. There are two major events that have shaped the current state of Bethesda and their games. First miss is Bethesda resents the acclaim and "ranking" that Obsidian gets for Fallout New Vegas. Todd and the few others feel that Fallout 1 and 2 was a story, a map, that died and what they did in Fallout 3 was to rewrite, highlight what they wanted, and built Fallout. It was more than a retelling of the lore. So I hear a few gaming contributors that guess upcoming games and stuff mention Obsidean a number of times saying they would like to do another Fallout. If you look at Todd's mannerisms, and other's comments, about that happening the answer to that is not only No, but hell no. They will not be topped by them again plus they feel, right or wrong, Fallout is their "creation" so to speak. About environmental story telling, or FNV's one thing mentioned by X during an unmarked Quests that had nothing to do with it, but tied B from a hidden location and event that would only be understood if you listened to X 20 hours of gameplay ago. The links and tie ins in FNV are famous. Bethesda gave us their answer to that a couple of times in Fallout 4. When you go fight the courser to get the chip after his defeat there is a captured synth there. It really is in our face so much we expect a-8 or whatever her name is, to be in the game again and hopefully either captured by institute, or in the head quarters of railroad, or memory den getting new ID. Bethesda is letting us know, that their story lines and writing are so good, they don't need all that FNV misdirection's, tying one event to another, etc. We never see her again. The second thing that has to do with what games, how, when, is this. Well, after Fallout 4 brought in so many new Fallout fans, like me, I would have started on Fallout 5 right away to capitalize on that success. There is a "personality" at Bethesda why they did not do that. And I get cash flow, being bought out, etc as a reason I've heard. But Bethesda, as much as they appreciate the fame, feel they have not been compensated, reaped the rewards, for the many, many hours of Skyrim that has been played. So they figured it just works and players will be playing Fallout 4 just as long, but the next games they want to make the money off of folks playing them, which is why we got ESOL and Fallout 76. ESOL is not Elder Scrolls 6 and Fallout 76 is an online shooter. They both love the amount of played hours on Skyrim, and resent it at the same time. If it happens again, they want to reap the reward. So in that atmosphere when we should have gotten Fallout 5, we might not get it for another 5-6 years. We probably will not get a remastered Fallout 3, which is really needed. We got a disunited, odd storyline, crappy companions, Starfield. There are about six big problems with Starfield but the worse mods can never help. If you say space is supposed to be empty and lonely, than why do none of the NPCs act like that? Why do we not have any environmental story telling, Emil? Space is so empty that after three homesteaders walk 800 Km back to base, they do not realize one is missing. They do not treat the Dragon Born like he is a surprise either. Nothing, except running from interest point or scanning, says space is empty except Emil's tweets. If there was a chance to have our attention jerked away as we walk towards another repeat structure it would have made a difference. I could go on, but you get thew point. Bethesda thinks their stuff is great because they ARE Bethesda. We see the failures and bad decisions because they take themselves too seriously. When you are playing for free at the high school dance, you only have to be so good, especially since most of the people there, in their small country town, have never heard a live band. But as music gets better known, and you are playing for pay as a first act at an amphitheater, you have better had upped your game. Problem is your lead guitarist wouldn't practice, because he wowed the fans in high school, and that was good enough.

I’m gonna say it. Even Emil’s best work, the Dark Brotherhood in Oblivion, was pretty bad. Only interesting the very first time, after repeated playthroughs it really blows

"We are all well aware that no one enjoyed Skyrim for the plot" Unfortunately, a lot of n'wahs did :P

Calm down Lord daggoff

Want my Qwama-shit opinion? The overarching villain should've been the Wolf-Queen, Potema: born a Septim, was essentially a Nord Mannimarco (with less swag) and could've resurect the dead of the Civil War for her own

Imagine dragons of gaming 💀. Dagoth Ur really cooking today

Far Harbor, Knights of The Nine, The Shilvering Isles and The Pitt weren't written by Pacheti and its self-evident in quality
