Why is every non RPG game Bethesda publishes mediocre or horrible?

[Mr Khan]

Publish != develop, that's why. Bethesda publishes RPGs that Bethesda develops (at least lately), and Bethesda develops good RPGs. As a developer, Bethesda is very well known and respected, but as a publisher, Bethesda is bush league, down their with South Peak or someone like them.
