Then play something else. These are RPGs. You're supposed to immerse yourself and play the role. Are you a Khajiiti Skooma fiend who the Emperor stumbled upon that then goes on a wacky series of adventures? Did you say screw Jaffre and head straight to Kvatch cuz that's where your plug lives and end up going into literal hell to save him? Eventually becoming The Hero of Kvatch?
Did you parlay your new found fame into new found money which you used to greatly expand your skooma consumption? Along the way becoming leader of guilds and the avatar of a God?
Or did you mainline the golden path. Decide this is ass and dip because you have no imagination?
You get out of these games what you put in. My favorite skyrim playthrough is one without weapons. I use a mod called "Wandering Thuum Practitioner" and Ordinator. Those two will make you as near as possible a lore accurate user of Shouts. Don't need weapons. Something attacks you? Burp it to death. Shout it off a mountain. Roast it to ash. Because you were given some training in the Thuum by a former Greybeard who for whatever reason left High Hrothgar long ago. What are the odds that the old man would find The Last Dragonborn potentially decades before they were needed and gave them a boost.
But yes. They have fallen off. Starfield was fine. Once. The whole starborn plot was a waste of time. In my opinion. The shine falls off a multiverse real quick when there's no difference between the universes. I know what they expected. They gave modders all the room they'd ever need and then some to spread out and build anything they wanted. They expected modders to fill up the game. They got complacent that the modders would always be there to do what people with deadlines and budgets cannot. And I wish they had. I no-lifed Starfield when it came out. Loved it. But by my 2nd trip through the unity I was pretty much done with it. There was nothing else to see. No variation in the multiverse. Outside of The Lodge anyway. And they could have saved it with that first DLC. The potential was there. All they had to do was give us more about who came before us through The Unity. Some info about those who built it or discovered it. Advanced alien civilization or some cosmic god. Something. But no. We got human incompetence run amuck. That shit is boring. And it was boring. There was no grand mystery to solve. No clues to a greater understanding. Just nothing of consequence. So it flopped.
The next remake tho. Fallout 3. Oh that mfer is gonna do NUMBERS. You hear me?! We've been begging for a sequel to 3 or a remake for 20 years. Then after that I swear to Robert Edwin House's ghost they better do New Vegas.
