I wonder if the utterly generic and inoffensive stories are intentional. People LOVE to be outraged today. They tried to boycott the latest Harry Potter game because they hate J. K. Rowling. Maybe Bethesda is just trying to stay as far away from the outrage as possible, and the result is… this. Maybe all the interesting stories get canned or neutered and turned into side quests.
Wat. No.
Bethesda has had a policy of streamlining thier games and making sure the player can win everything since Oblivion. They only "play it safe" to make sure the player never loses. That's all it is.
And it's boring.
