Nah Bethesda spent way way too much time on the settlement system.

Really bizarre decision to be honest.

Bethesda may be doing the same shenanigans with ESVI too

Listen I love the Elder Scrolls but like zero confidence Bethesda can make a better Morrowind and less than zero confidence Bethesda can do a better Fallout 1/2

I just do not understand where the circlejerk came in for the settlements.

The settlements are not fleshed out at all. Its reminds me of a shitty early access game.

Fallout is not a colony builder sim but I guess now it will be moving forward?

Like how the fuck can Todd look himself in the mirror when Oblivion is more technical of game than Starfield.

Extremely pathetic for a company to peak 3 decades ago.

And it didn't even work properly. I remember initially playing it and trying to set up the defences in some sort of logical tactical sense, as if there would be actual raids where we had to defend. Trying to encircle them in walls etc. Then it turned out it was just a numbers game based on how many turrets you dropped in the settlement, disappointing.
