There is no modern Bethesda. They are still making games based on 15 year old standards, with an engine a lot older and technically more debted than that.

It’s kinda like trying to make Edward Scissorhands a brain surgeon by adding a few more rubberbands between the blades.

LotR was good, had depth. Hobbit? That was a novel in readers digest. 😅

As someone who has read the series 3 times, they absolutely woke-butchered the series and fucked things up. Everything that I loved was rewritten, the characters were changed, and the pacing was off.

Not sure whom I’d prefer to tackle this. After the clusterfuck that was Amazons Wheel of Time, this feels like 9/10 😅

For me that was the first wheel of time book. First ones definitely stay with you. For me the Hobbit seemed lackluster, finished it in one evening and it felt too basic

I guess I’m in the minority, but as someone who grew up with the books and pretty much enjoyed everything apart from Hobbit, I’ve been thoroughly enjoyng the show. First season was a tad slow to grab me, but after the slow start the episodes have been the highlights of my week.

I have zero issues with using the great lore as source of inspiration and doing new stuff with it.

Their games, engine and business model are all at the spot others were 10 years ago, so this makes perfect sense.

You are wrong, and you should be ashamed of yourself for accusing people without any proof. If you really believe everyone who praises the game to be shills, then you’re also deluded.

I’ve 250 hours in, and loving the game. Sure it’s starting to lose the appeal slowly after this long in, but I sure as hell got my 40€ worth, and I know me and friends will return to have fun with it periodically, similarly to L4D2. The gameplay loop is just that good.
