That's the point. You pay (kinda) and get it all.

I think the games that people have been conditioned to think that about, i.e. third person games will be shown next year. Skyrim was an unexpected hit if everyone remembers the timeframe. It was expected to be great but what we got was one of the greatest games of all time. With that knowledge and an even bigger bankroll behind, Starfield will realize all of Todd Howard's dreams. Obsidian has Outer Worlds 2 and Avowed to show. Playground has Fable, inXile has their AAA RPG coming. The Initiative has Perfect Dark to show. The Coalition is going to do whatever they are doing in a non Gears world. Hellblade 2 is going to have more shown next year. Gregg Mayles, director of Banjo Kazooie 1 & 2 is now in charge as creative director of Everwild. Undead Labs has State of Decay 3 to show.



That's a lot of games brehs and it is being bankrolled by a company that is telling you to shoot for the stars.

OT but would you say it has a story/dialogue that rivals mass effect?

I never gave skyrim a fair/proper chance

Naw, 2 different rpgs. Mass effect is more about the dialogue choices n actions to determine the world around you. Skyrim leans more into exploration/fukkin around. Sure there’s dialogue/actions too that effect story n characters but it aint the crutch the game leans on.

The story for what Skyrim is trying to be is good. It's not as tight as Mass Effect's is. I do believe that the overarching nature of Tamriel in all of the games is one of the best things about the Elder Scrolls series. Lots of lore in the games. Not a lot of hand holding in the games and that is for the better. Just explore the world of Skyrim.

Daggerfall had High Rock and some of Hammerfall
Morrowind was set in Morrowind
Cyrodiil is the setting for Oblivion
Skyrim is in Skyrim.

The Elder Scrolls 6 looks to be set in Hammerfall.

But my point is that for me, there isn't any reason at all to get an Xbox. I get the point of Game Pass. The future of Xbox is not blessed. The future of Game Pass is blessed, because I'm upgrading my PC instead of getting an Xbox.
