This is peak Bethesda. I think this is the most RPG heavy game they've made in a while. RPG heavy in the sense you can actually roleplay and create a character. For a first in a Bethesda game I was able to talk out of the last fight.

No major bugs that break the game. The game itself however feels dated already. It feels like a game that would be a all time classic in 2016. A lot of design philosophies displayed in this game have gone the way of the dinosaur in recent years (sections where you follow a NPC and you run faster than them and walk slower NIGHTMARE NIGHTMARE). If any other company would release this game it wouldve been a shit show, but bethesda gets a pass.

Bethesda games have a weird charm that you just can't emulate in other companies. Fromsoft has that fromsoft aura and Bethesda has it's aura. I can see this game being a slow burn for it's fanbase.

I liked the game a lot, I expect to play it for many years to come and it is absolutely not a GOTY contender for myself lmfao
