So did Starfield become the next big thing? (hexbear.net)

It feels like when Fallout 3, 4 and Skyrim came out you couldn't escape people posting about them for weeks, especially with Skyrim. Now the most I've seen are complaints about how disappointing Starfield was.

Is the game that much blander or does Internet culture just move on that much faster these days? On the other hand, I do feel like there was a lot more enthusiasm for other games like Elden Ring, and sometimes you get an Among Us that just completely take over the Internet.

You didn't have to sheat your sword to cast fireball in Oblivion so it will always be better than Skyrim

I think you are misremembering, shitting sword was a mod.

You can do a dual-wielding situation with fireball and a sword in skyrim, not that it ever worked out for me

Obviously tried and it didn't like it anyways, there's a spellsword mod that don't work in my computer, but looks cool

That wasn't a thing in Oblivion, you had a dedicated button to cast whatever spell you had equipped, rather than equipping it like a weapon

Exactly, the cast button, my beloved
