This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.
Be warned:
- Anon is often crazy.
- Anon is often depressed.
- Anon frequently shares thoughts that are immature, offensive, or incomprehensible.
If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

BG3 might not be a healthy reference for videogame development for different reasons, but it's definitely remarkable how nothing has made me less excited for ES6 than Starfield.
I can't predict how long it'll take until it releases, but I'm doubtful it could be enough to fix whatever mess is already making its way through production—if they even planned to fix it, that is.
As far as characters & engagement goes, I think it's fair to now want more from the Elder Scrolls than their typical surface-level cutouts they've given players so far.
I play games for the characters and environments. Sure, good ol' Bethesda doesn't have to copy BG3 as a template, but I'd be lying if I said that I didn't raise my expectations for them now, after seeing what other games have shown what can be achieved. Y'know?
