Neither were technically solid and Skyrim doesn't qualify as their last few. Have to remember that was 8 years ago.

I disagree on the quality of Fallout 4. I don't think it was a good game.

The main Bethesda studio in Bethesda Maryland has only released 1 game since Skyrim, Fallout 4. It got a 90 meta, far from bad. Fallout 76 wasn't developed by the main Bethesda studio, it was developed by the new Austin Texas studio they opened, and it was apparently rushed out with only 1 year of development, seemingly because Starfield got delayed out of 2018 at the last moment because Bethesda decided they wanted to release it on next-gen with the new revamped Creation Engine build, instead of on current gen with the old Creation engine build, and Zenimax wanted a game to fill Starfield's place in the 2018 release schedule.

Bethesda Game Studios is still BGS. I know the main team at Maryland is the better, but that doesn't mean that F76 is willed out of existence. As far as the meta score, I don't put much weight behind it. Game was trashed at the time and largely still is. I've read they've made the game better, but its reputation of being broken and a mess is well earned.
