Hopefully people can stop with the "I bet Bethesda will take down skyblivion!1!!" comments now. It's very clear there's good will between modders and the devs.

Starfield was the epitome of this. Rather than make a full game and let modders play around, they launched an empty, barren wasteland not-so-subtly made with extensive modding in mind. They figured that they don't have to put effort into delivering a good product since their fans will do that for them following release.

Id also add that they're creativitly bankrupt. They even said in interviews that they couldn't figure out how to make Starfield a fun game until a year or so before release.

They never really figured that out, actually.

Which is scary for ES VI. If they can't make todds "dream game" fun, what kind of souless weak sauce will the next game be?

At least Elder Scrolls has a foundation. Part of the issue with Starfield was that it was a new IP, with no real predecessors. For ES6 they can look at the past titles and see what players liked.
