Kind of sad but at the same time I don’t think I would trust Bethesda of today especially to properly remake it anyways.
Bethesda can’t do it. They aren’t capable of a decent storyline. Their games are frankly beautifully done mostly empty boxes for people to create their own stories and mods in.
Hell, the Skyrim map is just masterfully done. If you follow the roads it seems big and expansive, and the cliffs/mountains exist to force the player to move around them. But there are lots of little paths and ways to shorten distances.
But a narrative driven experience like fo1 and 2? They don’t have the skill.
I always like to think of Skyrim (and fallout to a lesser degree) as essentially a head canon driven gmod
Maybe I’m a vampire who’s powerful to drain dragons (highly recommend sacrosanct) or maybe I lead a small army with no armor making me play strategic
I cannot remember the last time I played the main quest for the quest and not unlocking some side content
Is that really the case with Starfield though?
I didn’t really get into Fallout 76 (immediately bounced off a coop attempt), but I do hear its map is pretty good.
They screwed up before with automated map generation, and admitted as much.
For Oblivion, they admitted that the Aelyid ruins were mostly computer generated, as well as a lot of the map. Which is why the ruins in particular were so forgettable.
Cyrodil and The Shivering Isles were a blast though. Even playing BG3, with how amazing and stupendously huge it is, I didn’t feel that same sense of open scale wandering about (which is why I find their approach in SF so baffling)
A full 3d remake akin to This would be incredible but Bethesda aren’t capable
Aaah yeeah instead looking forward to Fallout 8 and Elder Scrolls 36 I need that fresh Todd slop badly
I just don’t see what needs to be “remade” about them?
Just modernize the graphics, clean up the audio a bit, update the cut scenes, maybe update the inventory management. That’s about it.
If you ask Todd, they need to be always online with atom store built-in. I mean how else is he gonna milk more $$$ out of fans.
This clearly means they’re getting remade.
Todd has to save all his “seagulling” for the ES 6 dev teams.
