Starfield Steam reviews give the Bethesda RPG a ‘mostly positive’ rating, as the Fallout and Skyrim successor slips down the categories after its full launch.
They were certainly Bethesda games. I’m not even remotely fond of multiplayer fallout. But for 4, it’s a marvelous modding world that I’ve sunk over a thousand hours into.
I’ve never played 76, but 4 is one of my favorite games of all time. I think most people who didn’t like it were going into it desiring for it to be something it wasn’t. What it was impeccably good at was being a scavenging looter shooter with addicting weapon and armor modification and a fun outpost building system that wasn’t for me, but did let me make my own little home.
Definitely not Bethesda’s strong suit and not what I go to their games for. Their NPC interaction is made up of tons of awkward TMI introductions and dialogue too quirky to take seriously most of the time. That’s a valid criticism, I would not say Fallout 4 is well written. I think it has some interesting premises like the whole synth idea, but not a well executed story.
The only overall story I really thought was good in that game was Paladin Danse’s quest chain.
Oh, so you ARE aware of their other games and you were just cherry picking the ones that weren’t as popular? Now with that brought to light, you’re changing the date parameters to suit your narrative?
Technically Skyrim has also been published in the past decade, and even more recently than Fallout 4. In fact it’s been released 5 times since Fallout 4.
So Fallout 4 and Fallout 76 were kickass Bethesda games?
They were certainly Bethesda games. I’m not even remotely fond of multiplayer fallout. But for 4, it’s a marvelous modding world that I’ve sunk over a thousand hours into.
And thanks to their cultish adherence to their engine, I could copy paste some mods between Skyrim and Fallout.
Fallout 4 was a great game, but like Fallout 3, was a terrible Fallout game. Fallout 4 is what Fallout 3 should have been.
This is the moat insane thing i have ever heard. Or it’s some sort of burn because how shit they are.

I just wanted a well written rpg. Guess that’s on me.

This. I completely agree. Fallout 4 is a great looter shooter. If you take it light and breezy you’re going to have fun.
It is not an RPG where your actions have impact on the world.
Honestly, the same is sorta true with most Bethesda game going back. Short of the atomic bomb in FO3, it’s just minor dialog changes most of the time.
I don’t get the FO4 hate from the FO3/FO-NV fans. They’re all three equivalently immersive.
Bethesda made way more games than that. Are you new to gaming? You should check out their website.
But those are their most recent offerings. I care more about the quality of what they produce now and not their glory days decades ago.

You’re very good at this.
All I “cherry picked” was their two most recent games that have actually been published in the past decade.
