Still a 7? Just curious, what made it fun for you? What were the expectations? Legit curious, as finding a good comment about the game that doesnt sound salty af is far in between.

I found skyrim fun for 60ish hours and than got extremely bored. Never touched it again. Starfield looked like that but barren as hell, which is not what it is sold as. Those are my personal reasons for not touching it though!

well, i thought of it as fallout 4 in space before playing. it has a couple core gameplay changes i liked and a couple i didn't. it is the slowest paced bethesda game for sure, which is why i think most people call it boring. if you didnt replay skyrim i doubt you would replay this game. i give it a 7/10 for people of my taste and i would consider myself the intended audience. i have played bethesda games since oblivion and average about 200 hours per bethesda game, usually 3 playthroughs seperated by about a year or 2. for reference here are my top bethesda games:

  1. Fallout: New Vegas - 9/10(obsidian for a major win)
  2. Fallout 3 - 9/10
  3. Oblivion - 9/10
  4. Skyrim - 8/10
  5. Fallout 4 - 8/10
  6. Starfield - 7/10
  7. Fallout 76 - 3/10 - i wish i could enjoy this game

these scores reflect how much i enjoyed each game. but if New Vegas had no technical issues it would be 10/10 for me.

Ye, that makes perfect sense, thanks! From your other scoring, i can see the game isnt that bad, but just average. Even compared to the others, which are rated a lot higher. From this i can also assume id enjoy the game for like 30sh hours, because this isnt 100% my jam. For me that wouldnt be worth the full price, but i can understand for somebody that would put 200h in np it would be worth it :)

yeah pretty much. i wouldnt recommend it to anybody that doesn't love bethesda's other games.
