What happened to Bethesda and Todd Howard ?

[gimlikos84]

What happened to this company ?.After Oblivion,Fallout 3 and Skyrim , every game was getting worse , and worse.This is no longer Bethesda Games.Todd Howard lost his heart , and visionary.No more games from Bethesda Games.So sad , so bad.

Trying to use the same engine from skyrim on a whole new concept of a game is crazy and it's Starfield fundamental flaw.

Microsoft bought them. They are now "big corporation" and have to abide certain policies.

I'm really not super impressed with the games Microsoft has released lately.

[fauxpas]

The same thing that happened to Bioware ... brain drain and the discovery that the public face of a company usually isn't the heart.


Besides, even if you do believe Todd was the mastermind behind Beth's prior games you can't forget that he's on record as saying he believes each game should be more streamlined and simpler than the last one ... and that trend is undeniable. Starfield is simply the point where everything that could be cut was cut and then some.

I seriously think smaller companies just make better games.

Also, Nate left. Pretty cool what he's doing now though.

Sorry man this game was in the works long before MS bought them, these are home grown Bethesda shortcomings. But man even Fallout 76 had good environmental storytelling, which Starfield is entirely lacking

it is sad. the magic is gone. it has left todd, emil, - the whole team it seems. they changed or the money changed them. i doubt we see a come back but you never know...

They made a masterpiece 13 yrs ago. They should have begun working on the next Elder Scrolls 12 years ago. They had the right idea, the right devs, vision, etc. but they started all of these projects and neglected the franchise. Idiotic decisions.

these guys have been winging it since morrowind

skyrim was just luck i think

oh don't worry, when TESVI is released suddenly Starfield will become a masterpiece and 'fans' will bury their claws in the young flesh of their new game. Just give it time. It just works.

I think the main problem is mod comunity , and people that always buy there games , no matter how bad the look like.

Skyrim was a huge luck , even Fallout 4 was a huge luck.I think Skyrim is much worse compare to Oblivion , but mods save this game.
