#it would suck for the highly anticipated TES6 to be a objective disappointment and step down from previous games

I do think there's a funny observation to be made as Elder Scrolls 6 becomes more of a possibility

At least in my corners of the Internet I've seen a general pessimism over it, from those who've followed the trajectory of TES as a whole, with the continued dumbing down of RPG elements into what might be a nothing burger of a game like Starfield

And I just think that's so funny because clearly someone at Bethesda thinks that simple and minimalistic is the way to go with game mechanics and story. Have a wide swimming pool, but keep it shallow

Meanwhile Baldur's Gate was made with the exact opposite ethos and not only is it one of the most critically acclaimed games ever but it also attracted a wide fan base including a good number of people who don't typically play "complicated" RPGs.
