It is difficult to compare games like Elden Ring and Starfield or maybe Skyrim. Many people like "Souls games", for whatever reason. But judging all games by the extent they are demanding on finger wiggling and the ability to enjoy the die-and-repeat-hamster wheel-mechanic is not appropiate.
My issue with Bethesda titles isn’t difficulty (to have difficulty one needs a well designed systems first) but overall lack of design and compelling content. Let’s call it difference in taste. Bethesda clearly has its fan base. I am curious how Starfield will be received. I feel like wider public aligned with my opinion on their titles with Fallout76 - yes, it was exceptionally flawed, but frankly criticism that game got, was pretty much the same I would criticise their previous titles for. So I am curious to see if the spell was broken, or if a less outrageous release will satisfy the fan base.
