Ill second this. Bethesda dumbs down their games and make them supper accessible twords the normies (tho the hardened rpg player can still relax and enjoy them aswell). Proper rpgs are a niche (with a few notable exceptions), Bethesda's aims aren't to create a proper rpg, instead to create a game that covers the widest possible playerbsae and they do a damn good job at it. The reason Bethesda is loved so much is because most people's first rpg nowadays tends to be from Bethesda. The result is people tend have nostalgia when they think of Bethesda titles because it was their first or only rpg so they prop the games up and act like they are better then they are.
