Just curious... I never played an Elder Scrolls game (yeah shame on me) but why was it dumbed down? I thought Skyrim was a huge success and people loved it. |
I wasn't saying it wasn't wildly successful but it was incredibly dumbed in comparison to the older Elder Scrolls games. Sure, combat is better but that didn't require alot of things to be sacrificed. There was alot of hand holding added in, spells taken out, magic schools removed, weakened magic for the sake of shouts, weapon types removed, character stats condensed into just health/magika/stamina, removed classes, made the quests easier/shorter, too easy to get promoted to top ranks in guilds, removed flying, removed teleportation, everything is leveled to you, dumbed down and heavily restricted enchanting.
Most series try to expand or build upon each entry so it becomes better with each layer added. Bethesda decided to simplify and remove elements of the game so it's more digestible to normies. Bethesda doesn't really have any competition with the kind of open world RPGs that they make. They think gamers want simpler rpgs and they give it to 'em.
I think that the Warhorse Studio devs are fans of the old Elder Scrolls games so they made their own version of it. The sales of this game in just one week from a unproven dev is a testament to what kind of rpgs people want.
