Well it's good to have confirmation TES ended with Skyrim and we won't have to port oblivion to yet another game, ever, for any reason.

Even Skyrim wasn't that great compared to its predecessors, the storylines all culminated to the point where you were the dragonborn, master wizard, super thief and ultimate warrior. The quests where pretty dull for the most part and a lot of the unique world building of TES had been replaced with generic RPG themes.

I mean sure dumb down the character/points systems so the game is more appealable to the masses but the quality of Bethesda's games have been taking a nosedive for awhile.

The last game I bought from them was fallout 4 and it was a massive letdown. I never bothered with a second playthrough because I couldn't stomach all the fetch/bad quality quests.

After watching the shitshow of fallout 76 and starfield I know I made the right choice to never buy anything from this money grubbing shitty company again.

This is true of both Oblivion and Morrowind, isn't it?
