For the period in which it was released it was graphically meh, the combat was shit, the exploration was meh minus with copy pasta generic boring cave, enemies and boring ass loot, the NPC were dumb as rocks, the questing was about being the dog in a game of fetch, the RPGing was on rail, the storyline was... Wait there was storyline?

Every word of this applies to every major Bethesda release since Morrowind. Starfield, Fallout, Elder Scrolls, they're all the same half-baked game with an empty and oversized sandbox, just with a different aesthetic.
