I've never understood the need for gamers to get into specific game tribes and compete with other game tribes. I just want good games period. Why would I care if BG3 tops 1 million concurrent users and Starfield doesn't or reverse? That won't affect me in the slightest. I just want both to be good.
I want good games, which is why I don't like Bethesda.
Their "open world" games feel almost like a mockery. Fallout 4 is a good example.
The main hub "city" has 52 npcs. It just destroys immersion, there shouldn't even be raiders in the game because there is no one to raid... Skyrim had similar issues.
Meanwhile of you go play New Vagas is actually feel like a living world.
Bethesda needs to do better imo the Witcher 3 was Skyrim but better in every way.

Eh... I can see where you're coming from, but I have probably played more Skyrim than any game ever in my life. Maybe if you combined all the hours I put on Paradox games together it might come slightly close, but not really.
Bethesda is the only developer that produces worlds where you can be anyone, go in a particular direction, and create your own coherent story from a mix of hand-crafted and procedurally generated material. It's not just the world; it's how you can seamlessly situate your own story within it. While I can understand not being a fan of Bethesda's take on Fallout, Elder Scrolls has to be one of the most engaging open-world RPG settings out there. I find it hard to fathom what you would be comparing Skyrim to. Every open world RPG that came out after Skyrim was inspired by it in some capacity.
