Every new itteration of the elder scrolls games reveals a simpler gameplay design - not an advancement. Visuals have become phenomenal, yes, but quests have devolved into basic Go-Here-Kill-this and nothing more. The wonderful but flawed spell crafting in Oblivion? It wasn't tweaked and improved, it was removed because Bethesda couldn't design it right. Basic character movement quality and NPC animation? Generations behind. Mouse lag renders the Fallout games annoying to play, at best.
I have logged thousands of hours with these games, but I think I am finally done with each of their franchises. Each new game offers nothing new, expect improved visuals. That's great, but you can't disregard the rest.
What do you all think?
