      There is no modern Bethesda. They are still making games based on 15 year old standards, with an engine a lot older and technically more debted than that.

      It’s kinda like trying to make Edward Scissorhands a brain surgeon by adding a few more rubberbands between the blades.

        If only. Daggerfall was great for its time, Morrowind was and still remains a classic masterpiece.

        The enshittification started with Oblivion, and only got worse from there.

        My expectations are just be as good as skyrim. I still go and explore skyrim and find new fun things i had never seen before. It’s the best i can ask for.

          They’re definitely not going to go back to any of the better earlier games before Skyrim.

            Idk i never played the other games. I’ve heard many times that they are better. I play skyrim in VR only. I might look for mods to play the earlier games in VR as well.

                You can probably get a used Quest 2 for a good price. It’s definitely capable enough to get a feel for VR, and whether or not you should invest more in a better setup.

                  Yeah I know. Unfortunately new toys like new hardware isn’t in my current future. Someday though.
