They'll probably be 100+ reviews by the end, Lol. This could settle around 87-86 or even go lower into the mid 80s. There's a lot of 10s, 9s and 8s though, I know people focus on the negatives but it's really only a few harsh scores dragging it down, the 7s which again, I don't think IGNs review reads like a 7 and that random very harsh 5/10 outlier, Lol.

Ultimately a great score still, if a little disappointing cause it didn't break the 90 barrier but ultimately irrelevant to how well the game will do overall, vast majority of consumers don't give a shit about critic scores and Bethesda title won't matter if it's mid 80s-high 80s or 90s. It'll still sell amazing. Although I worry about the slow start causing people to drop the game before they get into it.

Does seem like it's a bit of it being a Bethesda-ass-Bethesda game too and some reviewers have fallen out of love with that, also them focusing on too much at once, too big, which causes some things to suffer a little. Don't think The Elder Scrolls VI will have that issue since it will likely be set only on one region, Lol.
