Are you fucking listening, Todd?
when has Todd ever listened dude. he's too busy working on a game that takes 1400 hours to fully explore but has 2 voicelines repeated a billion times whenever you walk by an npc.
meanwhile a 25-person studio like supergiant records like 20 different voicelines for when you pause during a certain situation in their early access game.
Oh, he's got access to Miscrosoft's arsenal of AI resources now.
So expect 4000 hours of gameplay (or 2 hours of gameplay repeated 2000 times), and a load of NPCs that all sound like voice assistants.
Bethesda is one of the few studios where that would be an upgrade in writing. I'm so sick of their half-assery.
I enjoyed Skyrim I'll be honest, but that was a long time ago now. In that time we've had The Witcher 3 moving the goalposts and Baldur's Gate 3 putting them on a different planet altogether, and the idea of a sea of badly lip-synced talking heads telling me to try to find their obviously dead relatives who've gone flower picking in Murderfang Cavern just isn't going to cut it in 2027 or whenever Elder Scrolls 6 is supposed to be out.
