    I don’t think it’s fair to call Bethesda games RPGs. They’re more like environmental looter shooters. And if you take them kind of easy breezy not serious you can have fun. But you’re not going to get real roleplay.

    You’ll find some cool stories, but not roleplay

        You may or may not be right about Skyrim

        But 1000% Morrowinds Stat driven cronchy bs was bae (and the best world IMO, God I hated Skyrim from the jump just for that - Funky mushroom land getting around on silt striders to fucking HELL PORTALS to… Every generic fantasy land ever, dragons and all 🙄)

          And they turned Cyrodill from a cool interesting tropical jungle into… Fable 4.

            Fr that bothers me to this day. Wtf happened to Bethesda’s unique settings? Nothing coming from the elder scrolls IP has matched Morrowind in that regard and I have no idea why.

        Purest form of roleplaying? Have you tried or heard about Kenshi? That game is pure roleplaying, this is action game with a bit of rpg sprinkled
