    Bethesda cannot and will not care about writing a good story. Their company has never really done the writing part well and never had much of an original idea. Morrowind is the high water mark of their creativity as a company and what is that really? A revenge story about a god that some other gods failed to kill, in a setting where you replace trees with mushrooms half the time and there are big insects.

    Besides this one outlier, none of their games have had good writing and have leaned in on gimmicks. Large worlds to find generic quests in. Randomly generated quests to fill those large worlds with some sort of content. Samey, boring dungeons that are populated by one of three enemy factions. It’s all the fucking same shit, different game

    And Fallout? They mindlessly copy the aesthetic and that’s it. It could be 2 million years in the future and there would still be skeletons on toilets and in office chairs next to working CRT computers. It’s the best they can do, copy what other people have set up/written.

    Stop buying this crap. I don’t care if boycotting works or not just stop spending your money on mediocre garbage.
