    Unpopular opinion:

    Witcher 4 won’t be as good as Witcher 3 cause the third one was very good.

    So no matter who they chose, it’s probably gonna be underwhelming.

          Morrowind is the best. Oblivion remaster is better than skyrim (in my Morrowboomer opinion) and that was just refreshing a 20 year old game. I feel like there is a lot of hype for TES6 that it may not live up to, but surpassing skyrim is definitely doable.

          Oblivion and Skyrim were both massive disappointments to me.

          If ES 6 comes out, it’ll have maybe three skills - magic/combat/sneak. Any interesting/complicated lore will be retconned and shoved aside. (Why wasn’t Cyrodil a jungle? Where are my river drakes? What happened to Sutch? Where is my Colovian armor set?)

            He apparently worked on Oblivion (and Skyrim), so there’s a chance. He took a chance on Starfield and failed, so hopefully he learns from that instead of doubling down.

      also the formula is starting to feel old so it won’t have as much lustre as long as they don’t reinvent themselves

      I thought the same thing about Cyberpunk, they couldn’t make lightning strike twice. But in the end, once the issues were fixed, it’s also one of my favorite modern games.

        Although I really liked cyberpunk and I’ve finished both that and Witcher 3 and cyberpunk is my favourite…

        Really? I thought Witcher 3 was iconic, like it broke out of the regular gaming culture and into the mainstream, idk if cyberpunk did that.

        My world would be better if Witcher 4 is better than 3 but I have doubts

        People downvote you but I feel you.

        The gameplay just doesn’t hold up, the combat is too basic, has no depth and become stale really quickly
