Yep, I no longer game but a 10s look at the headlines was enough to call it. Bethesda are really stuck developing a particular type of games focused on basic open world simulation. From the early days of the The Elder Scrolls: Arena, if you wanted to spend enormous amounts of time in a simple but endless and increasingly visually impressive environment to explore, they've got you covered. Unfortunately, for some reason, they don't really have brilliant/groundbreaking story writers and designers.
