Bethesda is Wrong about Starfield Criticism

Video Description

I recently found an interview where IGN had managed to interview Bethesda Director Emil Pagliarulo after the release of both Starfield and its first major DLC Shattered Space. It is no secret that both of these two instalments underwhelmed fans and when asked what the company had learned from this two releases, he simply replied "fans really want The Elder Scrolls 6." This may seem like a throw away comment but it really is a worrying sign when you consider how much feedback fans gave on Starfield, as well as how often Bethesda tend to ignore player feedback. n this video, I break down Bethesda’s biggest problem: their response to Starfield’s criticism. According to lead writer Emil Pagliarulo, the only “lesson learned” was that fans really want Elder Scrolls 6. But is that all? From procedural generation and repetitive quests to excessive loading screens, dated AI, and shallow writing, there’s a lot Bethesda should be paying attention to. Bethesda can’t just slap “Elder Scrolls VI” on the box and expect success. If it repeats Starfield’s mistakes, it risks being forgotten.
