After being burned on Starfield, I'm gonna be really careful about buying games developed by Bethesda in the future.

Dodged a bullet by not buying Battlefield 2042 & 6 after seeing EA/DICE lied through their teeth. Now that they support slavery and murdering homosexuals I don't see myself buying anymore of their games ever.

Starfield said to me "our base formula is dated and needs to change fundamentally" and I simply don't think they're gonna take ES6 in that direction.

Baldur’s Gate set the bar way too high. I’m sure they’ll have some great RPG mechanics but their writing hasn’t been up to par.

There had been good writing before BG3.
