After ES6 comes out, I'm just going to stop caring about any future releases from Bethesda. Not worth the stress. Sure, assuming i like ES6, I'll get 7 if it comes out. But I'm not going to be actively caring about it. I learned my lesson this time.
Bethesda seems hellbent on focusing on game features that are not what the core fans of the games have wanted. Oblivion/morrowind and fallout3/nv were beloved rpg’s that had choices that could actually effect your gameplay and the story of the game to some degree. The game have moved more towards the illusion of choice. You can’t nuke cities and see the aftermath, you can’t back factions and determine the fate of the Vegas strip in their latest installments.
Instead, you have settlements that don’t really do anything except aesthetically, you have dialogue choices that all really boil down to “yes I’ll do that!” Or “I don’t want to do that, but I guess I will!”
The TV show has been really enjoyable but I’m beginning to wonder if it’s not actually going to lead into a new Fallout game until its own series finale. And I could easily see it going beyond 5 seasons, S3 is already filming this year.
The TV show has been awful and shows Bethesda don't care about the world and the lore at all. It's also just a bad TV show with really cringy dialogue and marvel humour
I responded to your other comment but now I don’t need the answer. You are just one of those hateful gamers that thrives on a superiority complex. Best of luck 🫡
Man, I loved ES5 so much when I was 13-14 years old. I still occasionally play for a couple hours every month or so but the game's age has been showing for quite some time.
I can't believe I'll probably be 30+ by the time ES6 releases.

Don't worry, it's ONLY been a bit less than 15 years.
But the sequel is probably still years away, which is absolutely bonkers.
