Why was The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim such a massive disappointment?

>>713201156 (OP)
It just didn't have that thing that makes a game good you know? What do the kids call it these days? Soul I think it was

>>713201156 (OP)
meme release day as a big factor it needed atleast 2 more years of development,even just looking at the cut content and stuff they couldn't implement is just sad and then i checked the uesp wiki man they had some nice stuff in the pot to be never finished

The tiny towns were one of my biggest hang ups with Skyrim. Even Oblivion's felt bigger. I think that the towns in Tamriel Rebuilt have the perfect size and level of detail. That mod is pretty much everything I wanted out of a new TES game. Given how dumb Starfield's 'cities' are I doubt that TES VI will be much better.

nothing about skyrim was good other than its sex mods

It's been so long since I played vanilla skyrim I can't even recognize what that "settlement" is. Every town (plus the new ones) in my game is much larger.

I think as far as post-Morrowind official settlements go, Oblivion did an okay job with places like the Imperial Capitol. It's basically Mournhold++ given how it's laid out in a bunch of separate instances, but it's expansive at least. Skyrim just feels sad, even the largest settlements are just Mount & Blade fiefs with named characters. And some of them are still instanced, meaning you don't even get to do fun stuff like bring back levitation or super high jumps. I don't have any serious hope for new Bethesda games though, everyone talented at that company left a long time ago. And I suspect even if there were driven, competent writers/artists/directors they'd be buried under a bunch of stupid decisions from the current heads of the company. They've had this problem since Skyrim where they want to add raw quantity of stuff (16x the detail, infinite quests, xbox huge maps, etc) without any consideration for the quality. So a lot of their games end up feeling like an infinite supply of gray paste. Starfield was just the cleanest example of it because the sheer size of space resulted in a huge amount of procedural generation garbage.

Isn't picrel Skyrim's Londonderry?

I don't recognize that city in the Morrowind part of the screenshot, is it from a mod

>>713205610
Yes it’s Karthwasten from https://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/44921
Bottom is the same town Karthwasten from TES V

Oblivion’s cities are spread out really weird. You have a ton of towns on the western Colovian part of the map and only 3 in the Nibenau, which is supposed to be the more populated part of the province. A good portion of the eastern half of the map is just wilderness.

One gripe I had was that things weren't actually procedurally generated. The planets, sure. But the dungeons are the same few reused over and over again, even for handmade quests. Genuinely a worse setup than Daggerfall's semi-random dungeons as at least there was some variety there.

Actual proc gen dungeons, and maybe proc gen to add extra towns and outskirts, as side content, would be OK. People who don't care for that could stick to the handmade parts of the game. Instead all content in the game suffers and it feels very threadbare.

>big empty town taking up space with nothing to do in it
Vs.
>small comfy town with huge wilderness surrounding it full of cool caves and loot

Don't be a contrarian and start making up shit from your ass

>>713203657
I don't think it was entirely his fault. Kinda harsh to try to pin everything on him.

>713201156 (OP)
It's because you're a fucking retard, duh.
I mean it's one of the most replayable and moddable games ever made, so of course everyone would like it and only filthy contrarians like you would hate it.
