  Elder Scrolls and Fallout games have been buggy messes since forever, but that doesn’t mean the games didn’t have positive qualities. Morrowind, Oblivion, Skyrim, and Fallout 3/New Vegas were technical dogs, but we waded through the bugs because the underlying games were great.

    I mean yeah, but that was well over a decade ago. Since then we had fallout 4 (not bad imo), fallout 76, 91 Skyrim remakes and Star Field (we don’t talk about those). Whatever magic that studio once had has been fading long ago.

      Well over a decade ago if you’re reaching all the way back to Morrowind and Oblivion. I’m pretty sure Oblivion was an Xbox 360 launch title.
