1. How much reliant is it on combat and shooting? Starfield for example was too reliant on shooting in my opinion. In fact, space “exploration” and “RPG” felt like afterthoughts.
  2. Any good mod suggestions? I am not looking for anything too fancy but QoL and bugfix mods are appreciated.

    Thank you very much. I am looking forward to finding out whether Bethesda have been irredeemable from the beginning or just have begun so lately lol.

      New Vegas was made by Obsidian not Bethesda. But Bethesda used to make good Games until oblivion. I love to play The elder Scrolls 2 Daggerfall and TES 3 Morrowind.

              I recently purchased Skyrim, and I had a ton of fun; but I had began to realize a plethora of issues from game balancing to unimpressive story-telling that finally compelled me to quit. I spent a little less than 93 hours on it, which speaks great volume of how enjoyable the game can be, however.

              Interesting hypothesis. I dunno if i have a favorite myself. I love Skyrim for the map, and ease of use on a controller. I love oblivion for the build-your-own spell system, but not the spellcasting. Sadly morrowind was missed as i had the notorious xbox version

          I think Bethesda owns the IP for the Fallout franchise since 3. Sometimes companies just license out sequels to another development studio.

          Obsidian has made many sequels to popular RPGs from other developers like KotOR 2 (Bioware made KotOR) and Neverwinter Nights 2 (Bioware made Neverwinter Nights).

          Obsidian also makes games based on it’s own original IP like Pillars of Eternity, Alpha Protocol, Tyranny, etc. It’s a great studio with lots of fun games!
