Played @ ranger difficulty, stopped playing @ level 16

weirdly enough, this game feels like there are no universal rule of the game. it FEELS like you play with a different sets of rules than the one the NPCs uses. missing 70+% chance hit 3 times in a row multiple times during a fight is just xcom level of brainlet math. it FEELS like it purposefully designed that way to make the game "harder"

maybe i just don't get it, maybe stacking 29 armor @ lvl 14 really is pointless, but the game taught you early that armor negates damage but it FEELS like it only negates YOUR damage to the enemy and not the enemies damage to you. so a glass canon sniper with 11 armor @ the back of the stack died just as fast as a melee with 29 armor "tanking" the enemies

Left Click - Right Click also super janky, right click to move, left click to interact, left click to use an ability, left click to cancel, but also left click to attack an enemy with the ability.

The UI expand left to right with gaps that if you stay for a bit too long it would collapse the menu prompting you to click the ground instead of a skill and moved your character wasting their AP.

I couldn't find a way to inspect enemy's weapon, only their stats, maybe i'm just brain damaged and the answer is right in front of me.

But the most infuriating one is the Enemy Turn Stuck bug, like i have to completely redo an epic fight that have my team barely scraping by, and the game decided nah redo the entire ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ fight. Like, what the ♥♥♥♥? why even have the option if the implementation is absurdly broken, what a waste of my ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ time this game is.

"there's no game engine magic that can save [Bethesda] from putting out mediocre to bad games. Starfield in UE5 would have still been a boring slog of proc gen garbage and bad writing."

good game on its own, great game if you have friends to play with

reading, the game

Bitterly disappointed.
Bethesda looks at what makes their games fun to play, then proceed to remove some of it, and made a loading screen simulator instead.

The next elder's scrolls will not be compared to OG skyrim, or any of the vanilla skyrim versions at all.
Some people will compare it to ultra juiced 1000+ mods version of it like Nolvus or Living Skyrim, and then wonder why they have to spend more money than skyrim + nexusmods sub for an objectively inferior experience.

and it will all be bethesda's fault, for letting skyrim fester for so long.
