      Skyrim > 4 years > Fallout 4 > 4 Years > Fallout 76 (yes, it was Todd’s team that made the map and original quests) > 4+1 years > Starfield

        I was wondering which franchises other than their “strongest franchises”. I think it’s starfield and doom.

      Let me preface this with the fact that I like Bethesda games, fallout, Skyrim, starfield, I enjoy them all.

      Does anyone else feel like they are all kinda the same game.

      • elder scrolls: medieval Bethesda game
      • fallout: apocalypse Bethesda game
      • starfield: space Bethesda game

      They share like 90% of the game mechanics.

      I could see cutting back on these if they were all radically different, but they all few so similar to me, almost interchangeable.

      But I’m sure not innovating and pumping out cash grab sequel after cash grab sequel will work, that works really well right? In a few years we can all read the “how Bethesda got beat by {scrappy upstart that actually provided interesting new games}” articles that try to piece together the mystery.
