I'm very much feeling the last scenario. She seems incredibly clingy.

Cool. I use Linux too, by the way.
Great. So we're going to be seeing this meme 8 times every month?
The US isn't invading Russia. The only involvement the US has in the Russo-Ukranian war is in your head.
Yes you have mentioned it. And I said "Oh no those poor Russian invaders".
Ukraine isn't America, and Russia invaded Ukraine, not America. You have no logic here.
This is true in most cases. Unless you're the invader. There will never be an excuse to initiate an invasion.
I expect a good company to know and work with good tools, not cheap ones.
Then you're incredibly naive and haven't paid attention to the gaming industry these days.
Ukraine is the country being invaded. Russia is the one invading. That is as simple as it is. You invade = you are the aggressor = you are the evil one.
You'll expect it to always suck because you're the consumer. UE has, since UE4, put itself in the position of being the number 1 go-to engine everyone thinks about when doing amazing visuals as easily and cheaply as possible. Even indie devs instantly think about Unreal when thinking about good looking graphics.
So yes, I blame the engine for making itself a cheap, lazy way of making great looking graphics, because it's even effecting how GPU's are being developed.
But of course! Those poor Russians just had to do a whole invasion, entirely out of self defense!
Lower expectations...?
Bethesda Game Studios has been on the decades-long trend of watering down all their proper RPG elements. Morrowind is significantly more jank in combat and movement than Oblicion. Oblivion significantly more jank than Skyrim.
However, Skyrim is over simplified compared to Oblivion in all of its RPG mechanics, and has removed a number of gameplay features that were previously present (e.g. Spell crafting). In turn Oblivion is itself more mechanically shallow than Morrowind, significantly lacking in such things as speech options.
The Oblivion Remaster is so more a reminder of something we'll never get anymore; an open world RPG that isn't as weighed down as Morrowind and not as over-simplified as Skyrim (though honestly complex NPC interactions need to come back from Morrowind).
TES VI will likely have better combat than Skyrim, but still incredibly dated compared to other games, and mechanics that can barely be called "RPG" anymore.
