Only played a little bit of it and it looks like a very slow moving cut-scene with some brief gameplay sprinkled into it from time to time. Sloooow. I want to see Elders Scrols 6, Days Gone 2, and Mad Max 2.
SOmething that unnecessarily slowed down the gameplay for me is the goofy ass menus and shit. I could not tell how to start the missions to progress the main story for the longest time. the game was trickling in mechanics and it was just pissing me off the way it did it. also, even when you learn how to start the missions, they don't stitch together well, and that combined with the slowness further ruins the story enjoyment, and, as others have said, there is liberal propaganda in the game as well.
rdr2 is simply a dud of a game, and the only reason I haven't deleted it off my hard drive is in case i can stop someone from purchasing this crap..
I'm wondering how much more they'll dumb down the series. I loved oblivion as a kid. I played some skyrim in college and there was alot to like, faces didn't look like ass, duel wielding, but EVERYTHING else was dumbed down. No stats, just RGB bars? Thieves guild quests were more like thug guild, all interactions scripted, the towns were beautiful but tiny, they didn't feel like real towns. The civil was amounted to nothing, nearly all the quests were weaker. I didn't even finish it.
I liked Skyrim, if only because the changes they made were logically streamlined.
Could never get into Oblivion, because I felt the same way you do about Skyrim for it. Morrowind forever.
I wasn't aware of morrowind until much later. Tried to get into it but the graphics and combat were just too bad. Probably if I had tried it first I would have thought as you do though.
Even worse, Skyrim was half finished, there were so many left over resources from cut quest and game mechanics that modders actually finished some of them.
Like did you know that Skyrim would have had a dodge roll mechanic? The animations and everything for it were already in the game files, devs just cut it instead of actually finishing it. Modders implemented it.
And speaking of the civil war, it was actually planned to be a lot more dynamic than it was, more akin to a strategy game, just based off the resources the devs left unfinished in the game files. Modders finished that one too.
I'm sure pretty much everything you've named, there's a mod that adds to or fixes it.
I fear the same thing will happen to the next elder scrolls though, it'll likely be half-finished as well.

I did not know that. Haven't kept up with it.
>it'll likely be half-finished as well.
As great as mods are, bethesda has cashed in on them to the extent that they outsource the coding of 25%-50% of their game, but still sell it at full price.
