To be fair, none of Bethesda’s games really push technical boundaries. They tend to look pretty good, but the value is in depth and breadth of content, not pushing the limits of rendering. Skyrim wasn’t cool because of high tech features, but because the world was immersive.
So that’s what I’m looking for. I don’t care if it’s using old tech, as long as it looks good and there’s a ton of great content. Give me improved Skyrim gameplay feel with Morrowind depth of content and story. I’d be interested in story-heavy DLC if the base game is good enough, kind of like the other games provided with mods.

That would be nice.
It won’t, because everything since Morrowind has gotten more shallow with each iteration. As good as Skyrim was, it was even shallower than Oblivion, which was shallower than Morrowind.
maybe they learned something from the backlash…
The fact they keep saying “empty isn’t boring” and other things defending Starfield tells me they haven’t learned jack shit.
Too bad Starfield wasn’t that, either, and Fallout 4 as well as 76 before it. Elder Scrolls 6 is gonna be a shitshow unless something drastic changes for the better at Bethesda. I don’t see that happening, though, since they’ve been busy since their last release trying to convince everyone that didn’t like Starfield that they’ve just been playing the game wrong.

Yup, I’m not bullish about it either. But who knows, maybe they learned something from the backlash…
